Ava learns...

Ava is learning so much! Sometimes it's hard to keep up with her. She amazes us daily with what she has remembered, or repeated back to us. Brad and I share stories nightly. I've been lucky to capture some of it on video over the past couple of weeks, so I thought you might like to see too!
The first video is Ava using my iphone pretending to talk to someone. She used to just say "hiiii" when she put it to her ear, but she hears Mama saying more than that and has learned how to say it too! So now she says "hii, how you do? goooood." I just about fell over laughing when I heard this for the first time!
The second video is Ava reading to herself. Often times I'll be picking up around the apartment and find Ava reading to herself from one of her favorite books. In this video I found her reading from Goodnight Moon. It's amazing how much she is really listening and processing what she sees and hears and that she remembers what words go with what page! I am just in awe of her sometimes! Such a smart cookie :)

And here is a fun new development...Ava is really trying to learn how to jump. She was inspired by Elmo asking her to try. Again, she is really listening to what she is watching on Sesame Street too! She is somewhat successful at this gross motor skill, but it still needs some work ;)
