She found her voice

(At the risk of embarrassing both myself AND Bryson...)

Lately, Bryson has been saying this a lot...
"She's finally found her voice, and she's not afraid to use it!"
(if you know where this quote is from...maybe you should be embarrassed too haha..jk)

Really though...Ava "talks" constantly.
She babbles while she's laying on the ground, while she's in her Bumbo,
while she's sitting on my lap, while she's in her bouncy chair.
She babbles in the bath, she babbles in her car seat.
And it even sounds like she is singing as I rock her to sleep.

This girl is going to be a talkative one, I can tell.

Here's a video of a little of Ava's baby babble tonight.
Notice how CHUNKY she is!!
I just LOVE me a chunky baby!

Another thing you can see her doing in the video is intertwining her fingers.
She loooooves to sit like this - with her fingers crossed together like that.
Cutie.

Something I ADORE about Ava is how smiley she is.
She is just the sweetest, happiest baby.
Every single time I smile at her, she smiles back...without fail.

Here's a little video of Bryson making Ava smile.
He was standing behind the camera.
She was SUPER fussy, right before bath and bed time...but still cute.

Also, today I found one of the cutest little onesie outfits that Bryson's aunt had given us for Ava.
It's a little Ralph Lauren polo outfit.
I think she looks adorable in it!

She is getting really good at sitting up with a little support.
Whenever she is sitting in her car seat or her bouncy chair, she does what look like little baby sit-ups because she is trying to sit up on her own.
She still needs support, but she's getting here.

Someday, baby girl...someday. :)
Don't grow up too fast. :)
