CELEBRATING AVA'S 3RD BIRTHDAY!

My beautiful girl turned 3 on May 28th! She is now 23 3/4 lbs and 34.64 inches tall. That is up 1 3/4 lbs and over 2inches from 6 months ago! Still in a size 4-5 shoe and 18-24 month clothes(mostly 18months) but her pants are starting to look like "floods"!
Her three most favorite things are still: jumping, climbing and music, in that order...so mommy's presents were chosen with this in mind.
Her favorite word right now is "No", this started about two weeks ago and is repeated a million times a day!
If she is a "good listener" she gets a sticker...seems to be working pretty well so far...keeping my fingers crossed!
Ava loves to sing, anywhere and everywhere...you didn't know you would be serenaded to "Mary had a little lamb" while you did your grocery shopping , did you!
She's really into counting right now...can only count to 10 so far but actually understands the concept of numbers...she will constantly ask for 5 or ten of everything from number of marshmallows for peeing in the potty to the number of stones in the driveway. If I ask her if she wants some crackers while driving in the car and she says 5, I'll pass her back a couple but she'll keep her hand out until I actually place 5 in her hand. Cheeky little thing isn't she!
