one of my biggest fears have come true...

Ava is constantly surprising us. She keeps us on our toes.

For instance, a couple of days ago as we were shopping in Macys, a lady walked by rather quickly with her arms folded over her chest. As she walked by, Ava yelled after her, "Wow, you are a mad girl!" She turned and laughed, and we tried to explain to her she wasn't mad and then we quickly put our hands over her mouth so she could not speak again.

No big deal, right? Kids say the darnedest things...

Then, there are times that kids Do the darnedest things...

I was sleeping in yesterday morning because I took a friend of ours to the airport at 4 in the morning. Lila was down for her morning nap, and Jason decided to take a shower. He left Ava playing in her room.

When he went in to check on her after his shower, this is what he found in her room.


Yes, insert gasps of the impending doom that was about to rain down on all of our heads.

She cut it. Just snipped it away.

When Jason asked her why, she told him that she just wanted to be beautiful.

Bless her...

Hello, Mullet!

I freaked out. Thank goodness Jason was there to be the voice of reason and deal with Ava. For those of you who know me, you know that I love long hair on little girls. I just think they look so precious with it.

So off to the hair dresser we went. I told our hair dresser, Farrah, that if possible could we NOT do the whole weird looking bowl cut. So she cut Ava's hair up to the longest layer that Ava cut. Then, she tried her best to blend her hair on the side to not look too bad. The plan is that we will just keeping putting clips and bows on the side until it grows out. It is not too noticeable pulled back, and we are just going to stuff prenatal vitamins down her throat for her hair to grow quickly. Just kidding (I think)...

Ava now..
