LOTS GOIN' LATELY

"So, when a frog gets ripe like a tomato, it turns into a turtle."

"Hey Ava, that's a pretty good list your writing!"
"It's not a wist! It's a wecipe!!!!" 

 

Ava and Donald have been doing lots of fishing lately. So far, it's been carp, catfish and crappies. She's got the casting down pretty good and would spend hours out there if she could. 

We're really enjoying our kayak. Jaina has been out once and Ava loves to go. Donald took Tap and as they were headed back, he saw me on the dock on thought it might be faster to swim to shore.

This little munchkin has been standing on her own for about 2 weeks now. At 9 1/2 months she started standing straight up from a squat. She's so proud of herself. She shows no interest in walking though when I take her hands and try to walk with her. 
She also says "Tap"...I've noticed that she likes to mimic her big sister. 
Have I mentioned that she gets into everything? She'd rather play with the pots and pans in the cupboard than with her box full of toys.
