Ava loves to sing! Her all time favorite is "Tomorrow" from the musical Annie. She sings it loud & proud...surprisingly she knows all the words & corrects us if we sing it wrong. I love the part when she yells "stick your chin.... a grin.... a say!!!!! I realize Annie is a funny choice of a movie for a 2 year old..but she loves it!! She also sings (on key..I might add): row-row-row your boat, freight train, say-say ole playmate, B-I-N-G-O and baby bubble-bee! Speaking of bees...many of you know Paul has a mortal fear of bees..he thinks it is allergic! Now Ava runs around yelling "a Bee, a Bee, a Bee!" Its does not matter if it is a fly...she thinks it is a bee & wants us to kill it!
Ava is always asking us "what are you doing?" We tell her & then ask her "what are you doing Ava?" She says.."GOOD!" I love it! If she is upset or did something wrong she puts her hand to her forehead, shakes her head & yells "Oh man!"
Ava is very in-tune with her body...she tells us when she is hungry, tired, thirsty or has a wound. She asks for specific snacks (crackers, cheese, hot dogs), drinks (milk, water, juice pop) and lately she will hold her leg/knee/foot and say "sssssseee, ssssssseee, oh my knee." Man she is funny! Her dad always complains about his wounds like that...like father...like daughter!!
Ava loves to draw..she calls any writing instrument (pen, crayon, marker etc) a "B. I. G." Not really sure how she came to use this phrase but it makes me smile every time! She is proficient at drawing faces...two big eyes, a nose (right in the middle of the eyes) and a mouth! She may have her aunt Anna's artistic skills!
Everyday Ava asks: "we go wimming now?" She is a water baby for sure...she brings out every swimming suits she owns and has to deliberate over which is the best for the outing. We take her to the city in-door pool & they have a kid slide, "pickles the duck." Ava loves it!! Her all-time record of going down the slide...in a row......27! I am not kidding...she loves that guy!
Ava already loves her baby sister! She hugs my belly all the time and tries to give her toys & drinks via my belly button! She thinks there is a baby in her tummy & when we touch her belly she arches it out and yells "she kick you!" Very funny!
We think the new baby's name is "Stella!" (Of course everyone know the movie "Street Car named Desire" and the famous scene when Brando yells "STELLA" and raises his hands to the sky.) Last week, my mom , Ava and I went to Heber to decorate graves for Memorial day. My mom asked Ava; "what is your baby sister's name?" Ava raised her hand to the sky & yelled "TELLA!" I laughed so hard...my mom assumed we had taught her that...oh no! She obviously has seen us do that..but she repeated it on her own!!
Although the baby is due July 11th...we are having a repeat C/S on July 7th.....in the morning. This time..I will be.... well rested, not puffy, hair done, make-up on, and ready to take pictures! Her nursery is almost done...thanks to Paul & my Dad! We will keep everybody informed & let you know when "STELLA!" has arrived!
Have a great day! Find something to "holy cat" about...it will make you smile all day!!!

Thanks for the update and all the cute pics! Can't wait till Saturday!
She is too cute for sure! We can't wait for baby Stella. If she is half as cute as Ava she'll be good to go.
oh my gosh! So freaking adorable! We cannot wait until Stella arrives. You are going to have your hands full with two amazing little girls. I have no doubt Stella will be just as awesome as her sister! Ava will teach her everything she knows and that is obviously a lot:) Luv you guys!
I'm a big fan KK. Great post. Sorry I can't get there until after STELLA is born. After reading this I think every time I say her name now I'm going to have to say it like those guys in the Office Depot commercial (WOW! THAT'S A LOW PRICE! ... I KNOW!!) (I'll do it with my hands in the air to be live Avar)
You guys be good, thanks for the stories, I love to read about my nieces.
