The Conversation with Ava

This particular conversation went a little something like this:



(Set the scene- Harrison had just spit up while I was holding him. Ava comes to the rescue...)



Ava: Momma, I just cleaned up all that spit up off the floor that Harrison did.



Momma: Ava, hold still while I get the camera.



Ava: Why?



Momma: Just because....


Ava: Momma, what are you taking pictures of?


Momma: (laughing uncontrollably and thinking that a freak out is coming)

Momma: I'm taking pictures of your hair....

Ava: Why?????

Ava: What is that?


Momma: Harrison spit up on your head too...

Ava: Get it off! Get it off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mommy..... (insert lots of crying here...)

and here...................

and anger here....

Ava: Mommy, why you make me do that?

Mommy: (just more laughing....)

Too big for his britches

Harrison started pulling up onto furniture right around the day he turned 6 months old. I wanted to catch this milestone on film so I waited for him to pull up and grabbed the camera. When I called his name, he turned to look at me and then a second later he decided to come towards me. And then I think he realized "Uh, oh! I can't walk yet!" The next picture would have been his face hitting the ground because that is where he went; straight down onto the ground. Poor baby! He is trying to be too big for his britches and grow up too fast!
