A Day in the Life of Ava.

Playing with her toys:

Yep, I let her watch some Dora that particular morning so I could eat breakfast without her mooching...bad mama!


Just looking cute:

What happens if I look away for 30 seconds - that's stair five :(

At the bounce house/baby gym:

Loves this ball they have:

Ava's first library storytime:

Follow Me, Chickadee Friday!

It's Friday. It's fall. What more can you ask for?

This Week (In Photos).

For all the things I don't have time to say this morning :)
This one speaks for itself:

Our new FAVORITE toy:



A horrible picture of me, but too cute not to share:

A's new chair:


In honor of fall and back-to-school:


The newest addition to our family!!!

Seriously, I'm in love. LOVE.

Follow Me, Chickadee Friday!

Good morning everyone!

Another edition of Follow Me, Chickadee, Friday in the works! If you want to play along, see the guidelines below :)

If you're new here, I hope you find something that keeps you coming back. Me in a nutshell: I'm a 26-year-old breastfeeding mama to Ava, 7 months, as well as girlfriend (one of these days that'll change to fiancée, but that's another story for another day!) to D. I'm also a full-time nanny, a part-time writer, and attempting to be a gardener, baby-food maker, activist - just trying to set a good example for my sweet baby girl.





The Life of a Sippy Cup Mom!, Mannland5 , The Adventures of Goober Grape and Monkey Man and Stash Mama have teamed up to cohost Follow Me, Chickadee Fridays! Each week, simply stop by at any of these four blogs for a chance to link up and meet new and exciting bloggers out on the interwebz!

Visit the blog above and below your listing and leave a *meaningful* comment. Something nice and shiney to make them smile. But make sure to tell them that you found them from Follow Me, Chickadee!
