Cluck! cluck!

Ava has discovered that she can make a new, cool noise with her tongue. She's clucking! It's adorable (but then, what isn't when related to Ava?) and she's so proud of herself! She is also sitting up all by herself and that seems to be more of a surprise to her than me. She sits there so cute and will start to fall over and catches herself with her elbow, most of the time. She's clunked her head once or twice before I could catch her but she's getting pretty good now.

At this moment she's crawled over into the dining room and is sucking on the leg of her swing. Yesterday it was the leg of the bar stool. The day before that it was the bottom of the cabinet. Sure, she chews on her toys but for some reason those don't hold their appeal long enough. I have to clarify that she is not yet "crawling" on her hands and knees but rather she's doing the army crawl, mostly pulling herself around with her arms and pushing a bit with her toes. Her other method of transport is rolling to whatever it is she'd like to chew on next.

Want to know what Ava's mommy's been up to? Yesterday I redecorated her doll house. Her dad bought it for her at a Garage Sale but I thought it was pretty out of date so I took it upon myself to put up new "wallpaper" using my scrapbook supplies. It was actually a lot of fun but more time consuming than I realized it would be. The four rooms took me most of the afternoon but it was more fun than cleaning up the concrete dust in the basement. Achooo!!
