Michaela's turn to talk

I was able to post a video of Ava talking to Michaela and now it's Michaela's turn to talk. She's getting very vocal and likes to have "conversations" with us. We get lots of cooing out of her and I was even able to make her laugh outloud one day! She loves it when Ava comes over and talks to her but at times like that Ava usually does all the talking. Here I was able to catch Michaela talking (probably because Ava was napping or occupied elsewhere).

Junk in the Trunk



Everyday Ava Reese gets a pack of "bite". (That is toddlerspeak for "vitamins".) She eats the vitamins and what she used to do when done with them is throw the packaging in the garbage. But for some reason she changed her mind about just discarding them. Now what she does is she stores the empty packages in the trunk of the Barbie car. I saw her do this with one pack and didn't think much of it. Then I realized a few days later that there were three empty packages in the trunk of the Corvette. Once again, I am baffled and intrigued by this little girl we have. I guess that Grandma tried to clean up the Corvette but Ava had very strong words about anyone moving her empty vitamin packages!! Where does she come up with this stuff? :)
