They just keep growing up ...

Ava is growing up so quickly -- she has several names now ... some called her AvaJune .. all run together as one and Chris has a favorite name, simply "AJ"!

She has more personality and determination than most kids -- well, maybe not -- it's just been a while since my kids were little. Rudy may be about the same but I don't get to see him that often. Ava is just always on the move! So, when Roxanne brought her by today, she wasn't too happy if I tried to keep her on my lap for more than just a few minutes ... probably more like seconds!!

She's a cutie and lots of fun .. she stands alone (she's 10 months old now) and says quite a few words -- one of her favorites is "uh-oh" ... wonder why!! :)

Of course, being the true great-grandmother that I am, I had to add some photos since she changes so very quickly!


Determination -- I will get out of her arms one way or another!!!

But, she always has a ready smile -- sometimes with her nose all wrinkled up!! Just couldn't get the camera to 'click' fast enough for those today!

"What shall I read first? Theology? Well, maybe not ...."

She settled down to try to chew on a video!! Oh, well .. it seemed better than reading at the moment! Someday ...
