Another fabulous conversation with Ms. Ava

Getting out of the car the other day I noticed one of Alex's sippy cups buried in the hostas near the driveway. It must have fallen out of the diaper bag sometime when I got out of the car. This may have been awhile ago, because when I took the cap off and looked inside, I found a solid, curdled, and really stinky glob of funky stuff. Then this transpired:

Me: Ewwwwwwwwwww. Gross!! So gross.
Ava: Mom, are you mad?
Me: No honey, I'm not mad.
Ava: Are you sad then, mommy?
Me: Nope, I'm not sad either.
Ava: Mom, have you been naughty again?

I then laughed my butt off.

Oh my little XanderMan/Boogie/Ax/AlleyCat...where has the time gone? It's so hard to believe you are nearly 1! You are cruising around the furniture and pushing your toys all around the room. I can see that you are itching to take those first steps! I love your big grin and seeing those little nubbies of new teeth coming in at the top--since your sister didn't get a tooth until 13 months it's hilarious for us to see you with three coming in at the top simultaneously!! You really shine at mealtime--your high pitched screech at dinnertime when your plate is empty is priceless. I am constantly amazed that you can put down more food at one sitting than your sister. Your dad is pushing me to trim the precious little whispies of hair around your ears. How could I though? That was the only hair you were born with! You make me feel so special because you are always so happy to see me. Your big blue eyes light up and your chubby little legs start kicking! It's hard to imagine that you will soon be old enough to fend off your big sister. You are such a big, big boy..she's in for trouble! Your daddy and I are so proud of you.. Happy Birthday mama's special cuddle bug boy... we love you sooo much!!!

HAPPY 1st Birthday, Alex!
