In my usual pathetic inability to understand my children, I asked Harrison to interpret. He rolled his eyes and told me she wanted to take some pictures. I picked up the camera, turned towards her, and she was in full mugging mode, no instructions necessary. A small sampling of the results:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center; "><div style="text-align: left;"><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sceiih6TD0c/TvLK9m97VOI/AAAAAAAACpk/RIoxxJ_f44A/s1600/P1010352.JPG"><img src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-sceiih6TD0c/TvLK9m97VOI/AAAAAAAACpk/RIoxxJ_f44A/s200/P1010352.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688832439103476962" style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px; " /></a> <a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LSKTTGNjZd8/TvLK-z_9SCI/AAAAAAAACp8/nkX9gyHYZro/s1600/P1010355.JPG"><img src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-LSKTTGNjZd8/TvLK-z_9SCI/AAAAAAAACp8/nkX9gyHYZro/s200/P1010355.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688832459781523490" style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px; " /></a> <img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-96K2xcjhAls/TvLK9fLiaII/AAAAAAAACpY/eRwFHbIuQls/s200/P1010351.JPG" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5688832437013080194" style="cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px; " /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Ava is a wild, hilarious little girl, who has me seriously wrapped around her finger. Just when I think that her level of cuteness can't get cuter (sorry for the parental overspeak -- I get in this bloggin' atmosphere and I just can't help myself), she figures out a way to step it up and give me a right hook to my heart. Like how she started speaking little words here and there, with "da-da" being one of them, and "mmm-hmm" as an answer to every yes/no question (but never to an open ended question -- that was always "ummmmmm ..."), now she's graduated to exclaiming "DA-DDY!" every time I turn the lock on the door coming home from work, answering "Yesh", "O-shay!", or a defiant "No!" to every yes/no question, and answering most open-ended questions by naming a Sesame Street character -- "Eerrnie", "Melmo" or my favorite, always said with an almost Southern accent, "Ahh-bay!" (Abby). Can't wait to see her reactions to things Christmas morning. Love my daughter. -- Guest blogger Jordan<br /></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div></div></div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span><u><br /></u></span></div>Anniehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15034532423133400002noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7925173329723754279.post-9323239225949457442011-12-01T08:23:00.008-07:002011-12-01T09:17:38.005-07:00A Christmas Twist - by Harrison<div style="text-align: center;"><span class="Apple-style-span"><b>Currently in my living room, the Autobots are saving baby Jesus from the three bad guy kings...who were then promptly eaten by a T-Rex.</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-BMbzqjw0b_8/Ttec79YHFII/AAAAAAAACn8/KfP-3cYfTVQ/s1600/P1010302.JPG" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;
