There was snow in the mountains next to Las Vegas when we woke up this morning! It was so pretty, but made me miss having real seasons.­

As for us, Ava is turning into a crazy toddler and she is hilarious.­ She says a few words now: Daddy, Mommy, banana, please, Jesus, cheese, but still points, grunts, and uses baby signs for the most part.­ She walks around and babbles to herself a lot, too.­ The signs have been really fun.­ She learned please, thank you, more, finished, dog, cat, book, baby, ball, telephone, flower, bird, and a few others.­ We are trying to teach her that she has to ask nicely for things, but before she says, "ees" (please), she lets out a blood curdling shreak to get our attention.­ Of course we turn, expecting to find some horrific scene, and instead we see this little girl with big eyes who quietly says, "ees?" She does really crazy things all of the time, but I can't seem to remember them at the moment.­

The only one I can think of is one day when she was helping fold the laundry, she put a dish towel over her head.­ She couldn't see, but I laughed.­ So being the clown she is, I guess she thought she would do something to add to the humor and started walking around.­ We live in a small apartment, so after three accelerating steps, she crashed full speed into the desk.­ I think she was hurt and quickly bounced back up to come to me, forgetting that the towel was still blocking her vision and misjudging where I was sitting.­ Before I could save the day, she ran straight into the table! It was really funny, but I had to muster my laughing because she was obviously confused and in pain.­ Having a kid is the funniest thing that has ever happened to me.­

I would tell you about Josh and I, but we are mostly the same and I have to leave to choir now, so love you guys! Bye.­
