Kyle and Ava Meet Again!

Ava and Kyle in November '07

Ava and Kyle Now

We visited Kyle and his mom Sara this week. Ava and Kyle shared the same room at the baby house in Karaganda. Sara was the one who sent us pictures when we had to leave Ava. It was amazing to find out that they live only 20 minutes from us!!
Ava and Kyle ate lunch, took a walk and played together. Kyle is so cute, crawling and pulling himself up on things. Ava, who is now walking, didn't know what to think of his crawling around. She ended up petting his head when he crawled by! Kyle likes to give kisses, they happen to be kisses with his mouth open though! He tried to give Ava one but she didn't appreciate it. It's a good story for when they're older!

Ava's Adventures

CLICK ON PICTURES TO ENLARGE

On mommy's shoulders (mommy looking scary without makeup and her hair brushed)

Climbing through Spencer's doggie door.

Watching Sesame Street

Playing with daddy

First fudge pop, actually it was mommy's and she stole it! She LOVED it!

Dancin'
When we say dancin' she puts her arms back and spins around or tries to anyway. It is so cute!

Sleeping Beauty

Yes, we still have snow!!

Outside in her kitty rain boots. They are way to big and kept falling off! She loves to go outside and gets so happy when say we're going out to play. She's been to the park a few times now that the weather's nice and she loves that too. She cries in the swing and likes the slides, sand box and just walking around watching all the kids.

One of the other new thing she does is hug our legs. She will come up to us and reach her arms around one or both of our legs.

She has also said I love you!!! It doesn't sound exactly correct but when we say it to her she tries to say it back! It's the sweetest thing!
