What have we been up too???

Well alot has been going on. Ava is standing up holding onto things...she is fast at crawling. She will be walking any day now. She is about 18.5 lbs and growing like a weed. This past week Papa and Taylor Grace came out to visit us!! We have enjoyed spending so much time with them and have done alot of fun things... here are some pictures of our adventures!

We took a trip down to the Aquarium in Chattanooga. It was AMAZING!! We all had such a good time! Ava enjoyed watching all the fish. I've never been to an aquarium and it was so fun. At one point we were under the aquarium and there was about 5 million pounds of water on top of us!!

Here is an alligator in one of the exhibits. It was pretty creepy looking...
There were a bunch of sharks in one tank and they would come right over to the glass and the teeth on those things were CRAZY!
There was even a butterfly exhibit and a butterfly landed right on Taylor's leg. It freaked her out but we enjoyed it!

This is what Ava looked like for the majority of the aquarium. She loved it!! She is such a happy baby and loves looking at everything!

She has such a fun baby with such a fun personality. She loves having Taylor here and watches her every move!

Here is one of the sting ray that Taylor got to pet. She didn't know what to think of that. There was a bunch of them in one tank and you could just reach in and play with them.

I love this picture! One of the things I hate most about living in Tennessee is I'm not close enough to this little girl!

They even had a parrot exhibit. This aquarium has so much to see. If your ever in the area I would defiantly recommend it!

More sting rays.... although these ones were not to be petted! They still have their stingers!

And this is what happens after a 3 hour trip to the aquarium!!

Both girls passed out as soon as we were in the car on our way home! So peaceful!

Yesterday we took an adventure to the Jack Daniels Distillery in Lynchburg TN. Of course this was more for us adults to learn about it and the kids just had fun going with us.

Ava just loves riding in her stroller. I have a feeling though when she starts walking we will be in alot of trouble. She loves to crawl and is so fast. When she starts walking she'll be into everything!!

Here is a picture of the Sawmill at Jack Daniels. It really is an interesting place to see... even if youd don't drink!


Heres my happy baby again! She is so photogenic! I love it!

More Jack Daniels fun!
These were Ava's glasses but of course Ava won't wear them... well Taylor won't take them off!!


This was taken right after Papa and Taylor arrived. Ava was so excited to see her favorite people!! She has been having fun non stop since.

These next pictures were taken a few weeks ago. She is getting so much better at standing now! Pretty soon she'll be walking!! My little baby is growing up!
