We made it!!

Here's the fam at Grandma Laurie's house in Tulsa:

Here we are at Gigi and Poppy's house in Dallas:

We are back in the ATX now after a long journey to Dallas and then on to Tulsa and back to Dallas. Ava hung in there, but by the last day, she was tired and cranky and ready to go home, as were we. She showed off all her new tricks and of course everyone thought she was so cute!

She's waving hi and bye-bye

She's saying "mamama"

She's flipping her lips w/ her fingers and making a humming sound (does that even make sense?)

She's crawling faster than ever

She's pulling up and letting go and standing there for a few seconds

She's semi-signing "milk"

And most importantly, she gave both sets of grandparents KISSES!! Open mouth and all!

She visited w/ a lot of family and friends this Thanksgiving and it was so nice to spend time w/ everyone.

Ava and Grandma Laurie:
