Zoooooom!

I just like this action shot. It looks like she's hauling ass.

Indoor swimming pool...

Posing like a model, living in the lap of luxury with her indoor pool. The other night I was cooking dinner and said, "What the heck?! Why not let her swim?" She stayed in it the entire time it took me to finish dinner.

Hanging with daddy outside...at night...in the dark

One of the many cool things about daddy, is that he does things that mommy doesn't do. Like laying out a blanket in the backyard at night to watch the stars. She looks a tad serious in these pictures, but she had a blast. Especially when Gaudi jumped on the blankie with them. Dad is so cool.

"You farted..."

This Sunday, Ava and daddy were enjoying a nice leisurely morning in the backyard. Then daddy showed Ava a sound of nature. The best part - she's heard it so many times, she knows what it's called.

Shake your booty, mommy!

This girl is a crackup! One time we sang the goofy disco song, "Shake your booty!" and it became seared into her brain. Here's a clip of her smacking my butt, then serenading me at the park. Love it.

Round and round...

Like any scientific genius, Ava can already explain the way water flows down a drain - after splashing herself in the face.

Huntington Library

This Sunday we went to Huntington Library in Pasadena. I think we're hooked. It's so gorgeous. Plus, we barely covered the grounds. We did, however, go to the best part - the children's garden. Ava loved it. Lots of fountains and water and other stinky kids.
