Ava at 3yrs 11mo Old

Ava is 3 years and 11 mo old now and is super excited about welcoming her new baby sister. She talks about helping take care of her and naming her. She says my stomach is big enough and thinks that the baby can come out now. Soon, I tell her. Ava turns 4 years old on Nov 29th and her new baby sister is due Nov. 21st. Their birthdays will be very close needless to say. She suggests silly names to name her sister almost daily; such as Humpty Dumpty and Rainbow Dash. Ava was ill 2x in the last month; nine days with the flu and then a 24hr case of fever and vomiting the day after Halloween; poor girl. She is feeling pretty much 100% now. She is still going to gymnastics on Thursday mornings and is getting better at practicing writing her letters and numbers. She loves watching Daddy play Minecraft and has her own Minecraft game on my laptop now. It's a block building game. You pretty much stack blocks and create anything you would like; house, furniture, village etc. She weighs about 35lbs now and is 41.5 inches tall. Her favorite dessert is cookies and cream ice cream or cotton candy flavor Thrifty ice cream.  For lunch she also loves salame, cheddar cheese and mayonnaise sandwiches. She is not big on breakfast and usually only has a strawberry milk and an occasional bread roll. For dinner she enjoys broccoli, green beans and couscous and sometimes chicken or sausage (although very recently she did enjoy some pork tenderloin). And spaghetti with parmesan cheese is always a winner in our home.

                   Watching Daddy play Minecraft and holding her beloved Baby Kitty up.

                        She still loves Bob the Builder. Took a nice 50 cent ride at the mall in passing.

She is still obsessed with kitty cats and paints her nose and gives herself whiskers. She also recently learned to cross her eyes and thinks its funny to do it for pictures. I definitely did not teach her this.

                                                 Drawing and painting are still a favorite activity.

Again, making the silly faces. We recently purchased a booster seat to fit into our mid-size SUV. This is Ava using it on the first day. I would rather have her sit in a 5 point harness car seat, but it's a tight squeeze with three car seats in a row. She does meet the weight and height requirements for the booster seat, but I would still rather have her in a regular car seat. Her regular car seat goes up to 60 lbs weight limit.
