Good Ears Gone Bad

First of all, I apologize to those of you who read this blog on a regular basis for not updating more frequently. Miss Ava has kept me extremely occupied with mommy duties. She is crawling at warp speed now and exploring the house constantly. Just doing her job, really. Favorite activities include climbing up the fireplace grate (with mommy always right behind her stating "NO touch!"), crawling up to Astro and pulling his tail (Astro does not appreciate this, but seems to tolerate her for now), and turning over a basket full of daddy's cycling gear.

On the down side, Miss Ava has had a cold for the past week that turned into an ear infection. So she is now on antibiotics, but seems to be dealing with it quite well. It's only the second time she has been sick in 10 months, so really she's exceptionally healthy. Let's hope it stays that way.
