Alright loves here a little update on miss Ava. She’s about 17 months now and lets just say the terrible twos are upon us 😉 We haven’t had any real tantrums yet. I’m talking the throw yourself down in the middle of the aisle at the grocery store but we’ve most definitely had our share of sass! She’s a non stop talker! Her new favorite word if “no” but she prefers to make it a little more dramatic and is more like “nooooooooooo”. While she is super independent i’ve noticed her being a little clingy lately and has most definitely turned into a mamas girl (for now). If you follow me on twitter you’ve probably know that she is getting one of her molars in! Lets just say molars take teething to the next level. Ava has been a champ in the sleeping department since about 6 months sleeping 730 to 730 but this week has been a long one! She’s waking up multiple times so I’m hoping that pesky tooth comes in soon! Her nap is still just once a day and usually on about 1 hour and a half. I may be secretively jealous of the moms who says their babies nap for 2 to 3 hours! lucky! 😉 Ava also loves to bring lots of books for us to read to her, although she usually loses interest after the second page and goes to bring us another book! Here are some of the random shots from this past month…
Someone definitely loves her blanky!
A lot of this face lately
The little things that just melt my heart xo
I love my in laws xo
the balloon obsession starts 😉
Lou is just as excited
Practicing her duck face already lol
Big girl status!
Always digging in the toy basket 😉 Ps I can’t get enough of her little boyfriend shorts!
As you can see from Ava’s sweet baby chub we’ve been blessed with a good eater 😉 although she still loves to throw some of her food on the floor. Did I mention were so glad we have a dog?! On another note I can’t believe we’ve already put Ava on a waiting list for pre-school next year! I know everyone mom says this but I seriously can’t believe how fast time is going by!
OMG she is so precious!! Love her chubby cheeks!!

This sounds so much like Harper!! Random tantrums where she squeals and throws herself on the ground & pretends she is sleeping! Ha! And totally a clingy mama's girl right now even though she really is so independent! Love Ava updates, she really is getting prettier & prettier by the day, looking so much like her mama! XOXO
she's absolutely beautiful. God bless xo
Omg, that second picture is tooo freaking adorable! She is such a doll!
She is growing up too fast!! Can't wait to love on this face in a few weeks! and I love that she says "noooooooooo" dramatically. haha xo
SHE IS GORGEOUS~ <3
oh my gosh the boyfriend jean shorts and the mickey tee? LOVE! can't believe she's 17 months already!! at least she's not a screamer 😉

So cute!! My 3 year old starts preschool next week and I am having such anxiety about it. He on the other hand is super excited. It is so hard letting go, even is it is only for a few hours a week.
I love that duck face! God Bless 🙂
xo, Michelle
LOVE Ava's hair! Those little curls are the sweetest!

She is a beauty! Those lips!!
really? You have to sign up for pre-school one year in advance in your area?
They grow up too fast!!! She is adorable. Love the pic with her grandparents. Grandparents are the best!!! You have to take her to Disneyland, she would just love it. They have Halloween theme coming up and it won't be so crowded during the day because school has begun for most kids.
Super cute!! Love her in jeans! We had teeth coming in too.. Check out my post about amber necklaces. I have a 25% off coupon code that ends today: inspiredbyfinn.com code: AnNg25.

OXOX
Awww so cute and such a beautiful mama! I am loving your blog…I found it via a fall outfit post on pinterest (I am fashionably challenged so thanks for the inspiration :). We are in OC too (Huntington Beach)..where are you? xo, Laura
Ava is adorable. I love her dark curls and those lips are amazing! When Macy hit 17 months her sleep went completely to hell and it wasn't from teething (she already had all her teeth by this point). It was a very common thing: the 18 month sleep regression. She was up multiple times a night, sometimes for hours, for SIX WEEKS. I was exhausted, I was stressed, I was threatening to get my stuff and move out of the house if something wasn't done to give me a break. It was worse than when she was a newborn. And then it was over and she's been sleeping through the night for the last three weeks. I am hoping for you, that you don't go through this or that it only last a couple weeks like it seems to for most people. Sleep deprivation with a toddler is torture.
LOVE the spaghetti photo! Sooo sweet 🙂 Just enjoying her dinner 😉
Andee she is adorable! She is obviously very loved and we all appreciate you sharing pics of her with us!
Thank you for sharing those sweet sweet photos! What a cutie-pie 😉 Just wondering if you would share a hair tutorial of how you do your natural looking waves that you're always sporting! Would love if you made a video of somesort so I can follow along. Yours always look so natural and effortless! Thanks! xox
hiAndee,
Ava is so beautiful , you so luckly to have her. pls update Ava more often . Im seriously obsessed with those lips , actually the whole Ava. So cute.
omg where are the boyfriend shorts from?! Love them! Ava is SO adorable.
Ava is absolutely gorgeous, just like Mama!
Your daughter is simply adorable! And molar teething is the worst!! This week has been so tough on us. I just gave my daughter infant motrin b/c I felt so bad for her pain and she was able to sleep alot better. But I don't like giving her medication like that. Hope it gets better!
She is absolutely precious!
she is so adorable and can't believe how big she's gotten! xo

Hi! What kind of blanky is that?
its by Angel Dear and I've posted a link to it on my Pinterest board "favorite products" there are two different sizes.
Hi Andee! I have a 6 month old and am struggling with getting him to sleep through the night. He's getting up 3-4 times. What method did you use? Any advice is much appreciated! Thanks!
