Signs

Have I mentioned how many signs Ava does now?
-"mama"
-"papa"
-"baby"
-"eat"
- "drink"
-"shoes"
-"all done"
-"bye bye"
-"music"
-"owie"
-"nose"
-"sleep"
and her latest.....
-"bath"

Remember how terrified she was of the bathtub and water? How times have changed! I found myself repeatedly saying, "Girls, calm down!", last night. (Never thought I'd be telling Ava to calm down). Take a look at this: (You might want to turn your volume down) :)

That many signs are amazing. She looked like she really had a great time with her bath, as did Hope.

You forgot water and doggie, and that she almost has " Aunt" down.

I was so amazed at this! I totally forgot that you used to bathe her in the kitchen sink as fast as you could b/c she absolutely hated every minute of it. WOW! Sorry we got cut off yesterday on the phone. We had to bag ice. I'm sure you were busy w/ something too. ~hugs~

Charissa!! I can hardly believe that is Ava - is that even the same child I knew in Artemovsk??????? How WONDERFUL to see her sitting up, enjoying a bath, being kissed by her sister. Oh, it just does my heart good to see how happy and healthy she is now! YIPPEEEEEEE! - Love from your friend Kelly in NE
