Ava: "Mommy, if we eat lots of vegetables, will we never die?"
Mommy: "Well vegetables are really good for our bodies, but they can't keep us from dying. Everyone dies."
Ava: "I'm going to try to eat as much as I can and maybe I'll live forever. I want our whole family to live forever."
Mommy: "Doesn't hurt to try. I want our whole family to live forever, too."

Griffin at 2 years, 2 months
He is a talking machine!
Some of my favorite phrases:
"Me do it SELF!" - Oh my, he is definitely gaining his Independence and wants to attempt everything by himself.
"What sissy doin?" -It's what he says first thing when I go get him in the morning. He always has Ava on his mind.
"Nasty Waydee" (nasty lady) -When he refers to Cruella Deville from the 101 Dalmatians Book.
Eating
Griff is a pretty good eater and especially likes "Moo Moos" (smoothies) mixed with various fruits and vegetables. He is much better at using utensils since he does it by himself.
Sleeping
Well, we are at a crossroads right now. To give up nap or not. As I write this, I'm hoping it's a phase, but he's gone 4 days in a row without a nap. He has discovered getting out of his crib, which he's done before but now he has decided that it's overrated to listen to our words about staying in his crib. We put a gate up and that was knocked over and broken in about 2 minutes. Now there is a child-proof lock on his door handle, but as of yesterday, he figured out how to break that off. So it looks like we will be transitioning to a big boy bed soon.
With no naps, bedtime is around 7:00 and he's sleeping until 7:30-8:00 am. That's nice. If only Ava was on the same schedule, but that's not the way it works.
Activities
Griffin really loves the water. He took off his puddle jumper last week at the pool and wanted to jump in to us and "swim" the short distance back to the side of the pool. I think we are going to do a swim school in the fall.
