6 months old, Grandma Doris', Swimming

Today we went to Grandma Doris' house in Postfalls. Since it was also Ava's 6 month birthday, we took her pictures there. This month Ava has started squealing, the best sound ever. On occasion you can get a small giggle out of her, though it does sound like a few connected grunts. She has become fascinated with her feet, but still adores to stare at her hands. When she is upset, she says, mum, mum, mum, but I don't think she knows the meaning, its just a sound to her. But I can pretend, right? She is starting to become interested in objects besides her toys, like spoons, bibs, paper, and pretty much anything she can get her hands on. Another healthy and happy month, for a sweet baby girl!

 

At Grandma Doris' we (me not included, I wore around Ava) did all kinds of things for Grandma like fixing the chimney, splitting wood, picking up sticks, and playing with the kitties. Noah loved driving Grandma's farm equipment, the tractors, little red, and especially loved sitting in the jeep playing with the Tonka machinery (which we got to bring home).

 

After we were done at Grandma's house, we went to dinner at Red Robin with momma, Becky, Gretta, and Corey. We had a great time! Since we planned on going to Greenbluff tomorrow. We didn't want to drive home and then back to Spokane, so we stayed in Spokane. Once we got to our hotel, checked in, and got the luggage upstairs, we went swimming. We had a lot of fun. Both kids were really tired, but enjoyed themselves. Ava loves swimming, but she got splashed as we were taking the picture and got mad. A man in the pool offered to take our families picture. It was super nice! We had a fun time!

 

We had a fun but LONG day! We all got to bed by 10 o'clock and slept like logs!
