hurry up spring . . .and slow down ava

I'm sure we weren't the only ones enjoying the nice weather yesterday! Our family went for the first walk of the year and then sat on our front step for a little over a half hour because Ava was having so much fun watching the neighborhood kids play and discovering the outdoors. It felt so good for me to be outside and I think Ava agreed. I don't think she stopping talking or giggling the whole time (AND she got to finally wear Grandma Prevo's coat - I love it!).

On a sad note - my daughter has decided it's time for a growth spurt . . .and has pretty much leapt through most of her 6 - 12 month clothing. My mom and I bought some 9 and12 month outfits for her this past week for spring/summer and tried them on (after washing them) . . .and half of them fit NOW. So I'm seeing my purchases for this summer slowly lose their purpose. I guess it's a good thing we're going to florida in a couple weeks so she can wear them! Hurry up Spring!!!!!!!!!
