Ava's 21st Month

As we look back on this month, we are fairly convinced that Ava's 21st month was the best yet. We're still deliberating, but it was pretty awesome.

The biggest change this past month has been her interest in her friends. While she's always loved them, she now routinely asks to visit their houses. When she does see them, she spends all of her time hugging them. Case in point: during Ava's last music class, we would estimate no fewer than 12 hugs between Ava and Alex (counting loving sleeper holds). Just darling.

Ava is also expanding her artistic repertoire. She can now sing three different songs (albeit poorly, if we're being honest), and she dances better than Brian. She's rounding out her creative side by dabbling in painting, with an emphasis on tempera and mixed media.
