which one to use???
At the early hour of 7am this morning, Ava was having a hard time trying to figure out which pocketbook she wanted to use for the day. What a tough decision!
We just got home from her 15 month checkup and she is doing great. She is a heavy 28 1/2 pounds and 32 inches long! She is learning a many new words and the Dr. seemed very pleased!
Yesterday's word of the day was "Spoon" (gamma tracy is taking credit for teaching her that one!)

wounded photo shoot
Yesterday at Gamma's, Ava thought that she was a magician and could pull the tablecloth off of the table leaving everything that was on the table in its place. Well it didn't quite work out to Ava's plan and at 15 months she didn't know that she wasn't supposed to pick up the glass that broke. She ended up slicing a small piece off of her thumb and with the uncontrollable bleeding we headed straight to the ER. They weren't able to stitch it because really, there was nothing to stitch. She was a champ though and let the doctors wrap her little finger up and we were on our way. After a long 2 hour nap, Ava woke up and she had bled through the gauze so we headed back to the hospital for another clean up and wrapping. She definitely was not her cheerful, energetic self but I think today she is a little better. We had to take some shots of her little hand all wrapped up for you all to see. Only a couple more days like this and then we can use a band aid.
her little thumb all wrapped up
Ava loves the ipod wires and thinks that the music comes out of them. This is her dancing in the kitchen to no music.
Happy Birthday to me.....

trying to get back in the swing of things....
Today was our first day back at gym class at Kids Clubhouse! Ava was so excited that this year she can run around and do everything that she wanted to do last year. Climbing, Sliding, and Walking all over.
I think we need to have a "bubbles" class for Ava. All she wanted all day was for the bubbles to come on!
What we have been up to....
Summer is over and life is crazy in the Parisi house! Ava is now 15months, getting bigger and bigger each day and she is amazing Jon and I every minute.
Here are just some of the things that she is up to now:
Ava loves pocketbooks. She obviously got that from me, her Aunt Toni and Grandma Parisi. She loves to put things in her pocketbook, she loves to say pocketbook and she loves to swing it over her shoulder and prance around the house with her pocketbook.
Ava loves to be read to. She obviously did NOT get that from me. Must be her Grandma Tracy and Great Aunt Barbara. Whenever she has the chance she will pick up a good book and hand it to you so you can read it, or she will just sit and flip through the pages on her own.
Ava is talking up a storm. That's a tough one... but I will give credit to her dad (although I am sure a little bit of that is me) Some of her new words are, "up," "down," "bluberries"(which isnt too clear but we know what she is saying), "pool," and of course "mama and dadda" we hear a lot!
When she isn't talking, she is eating. That is definitely from Jon and I. She loves everything that we have given her. Thank goodness she isn't a fussy eater. She will eat chinese food if that is what we are eating, she will eat steak, chicken, hot dogs, you name it...chances are.... she'll eat it. Even if she doesn't like it, she will still get it down and swallow it, but she won't ask for more.
Ava loves to come to Pottery Barn Kids and visit me at work. She walks around like she owns the place and loves playing with the stroller, the shopping cart, the kitchen set (can you guess what Santa is going to be bringing her this year?) She might as well be saying "don't you know who I am?"
Raspberries.... well, yeah, she loves to eat them, but even funnier she loves giving them! Anything that she can get her mouth on she will give a raspberry too.
Ava is so lucky to be spending her days, while Jon and I are working, with her grandparents and how lucky are Jon and I that we have such wonderful families for her to be with. Part of the week she is at the Tracy's and then the other part she is at the Parisi's.
Pictures are coming soon.... I promise!
