BFF

Ava has been spending lots of time with her BFF Phoebe lately. Phoebe became a big sister 2 weeks ago so we have been helping out her mom and dad. We love playing with our neighbor Phoebe who is a sweet and silly girl.

Little fish

Ava has been spending much time in the water this summer. We have had epic adventures at the wading pool, as well as weekly swim lessons. The lovely warm (and occasionally hot) weather has provided tons of opportunity for my little fish to practice her water skills. At swim lessons Ava does "big arms", kicks and floats across the pool, and climbs out of the pool by herself. When she is feeling brave she will swim underwater or jump in by herself. Soon she will be surfing like dad or scuba diving like mom.
