Visits from Papa, Grammy and Grampy

I can barely keep up with all these grandparent nicknames, I don't know how my 11 month old daughter keeps them straight.  Anyways, the weather is getting cooler and fall is around the corner.  Ava had a good week and also had several visitors.  Keren's parents (Papa and Grammy) stopped by on Wednesday for a little bit and my dad (Grampy) stopped by on Sunday.  Ava helped us put out some new mulch and took great interest in our newly acquired pumpkins.  Only one more week till her very first birthday!  Here are pics from this past week:

Better week for little miss Ava

Wow how times flies, Ava is only 16 days away from turning one year old.  She had a much better week this week, her teeth must have really been bothering her.  Nothing spectacular happened, just the same routine, going to Nona's Monday through Wednesday, hanging out with daddy on Thursday and Friday and then mommy and daddy time on the weekends.  Mommy usually does the bedtime routine through the week (bath, dress, read books then rock to sleep).  I sometimes read her books too, Ava is really showing a lot of interest in books lately!  She will drag them out into the family room and always gravitates towards them when she trots off to her room.  She continues to improve with the walking but we're still a nervous wreck when she gets close to a sharp edge of a corner wall or anything that will hurt if she falls into it.  I may have to end up putting bumpers on literally everything so we can relax.

Here are the pics from this past week.  First are of a little dog (Zoe) she met, then a pic with mommy at Applebees then the rest are from a visit to my mom's house today.
