Ava's lost her first tooth!

She started at the same time as Evan, so both of them have been getting visits from the Tooth Fairy, Luke is quite jealous and often points to his teeth. I hope he doesn't do anything rash.

Halloween Update!

Like every year, Ava went as a brat for Halloween. Just Kidding, she was Wendy as in the Wendy's Fast Food Franchise. Though Ava put her own spin on the character, muttering "whatever", and doing little devilish things to all those around her throughout the evening. Here are some shots of Wendy along with her whole Fast Food Posse!

Ava's Two Front Teeth

A week before the 4th of July Ava asked for a glass of juice. Her mother poured it half full, as it was a habit for Ava to never finish full glasses of juice, and instead leaving them in odd spots around the house for her mother to retrieve. When Ava saw that the glass was only half filled, she immediately demanded more, "I want more" she shouted. Desirie shook her head, "No, this is all you're getting, you waste too much juice!" All at once Ava screamed at the top of her lungs and became full of rage and anger. She took off running, fuming and red faced straight into the living room where she tripped and fell right into the corner of their coffee table. As a result of this tantrum Ava's two front teeth were smashed in and she had to go to the Emergency room. Thankfully both teeth are are still intact, one is just slightly crooked. But no worries, these are just Ava's baby teeth, only 2 more years and she'll have a brand new pair!

Cooking with Ava

This image has convinced me that Ava will definitely have a future in cooking. She is just a natural in the kitchen. She is happy and confident while making anything sweet! Though her latest goal is to become an Ice cream Truck girl, I know she will achieve above and beyond all she hopes for.

2 Stories: Paparazzi and Pink!

The other day Ava walked up to her mother and asked what her Grandma Roddy's first name was. Desirie said "Her name is Brooks". Ava smiled up at Desirie very smuggly and said "I know what Grandpa Roddy's name is!" Desirie smiled thinking she would say just say the name Dave. But instead Ava blurted out "It's Paparazzi!" (She had heard her cousins call him papa Roddy and didn't understand what they had been saying). When Desirie heard her say this she burst out laughing and Ava got very angry, she thought she had really figured it out.

Desirie brought Ava into Sephora to pick out some cover-up. Desirie had to ask a salesgirl for help, she wanted to know if the makeup contained oil. The salesgirl looked very confused and didn't know where to look as she examined the bottle. Ava stood there getting frustrated as well and said with classic Ava 'tude, "Do you know what you're doing?" The sales girl smiled nervously at Desirie and Ava and asked a very flamboyant man dressed in a bright pink shirt working at the main counter if the makeup had oil. He threw his arms up and screamed in annoyance "ALL THE INFORMATION IS PASTED ON SHELVE!!!" To which Ava replied loudly "I don't like that Pink Lady!"
