Ava 21 Months Old Today & The Rock County Fair...

Ava wasn't so sure about touching the horse
Ava loved the sheep She couldn't stop saying "moo" as we milled around the cows A little apprehensive at first...
Inching a little bit closer...
She loved the ice cream almost as much as the animals
Having a hard time focusing--too much action!
We decided to stop by the local Rock County fair this evening. It is certainly not a large fair, but had plenty to keep Ava entertained. We headed through the animal buildings and Ava was immediately excited. She couldn't stop pointing and chatting about all the animals. We heard lots of "moo's", "baa's", "oinks", "neighs", etc. She had the opportunity to pet a small calf, but slowed up just before she could touch it and decided that it wasn't such a good idea. Regardless, she was grinning nearly the whole time as long as she didn't have to get too close.
At 21 months, Ava is quite a little character. She has recently learned to count to 10 and chats about all kinds of things, although we can't understand much of it. Common sayings include "I want some supper", "Go bye bye in the car", "I want some more", etc. She is very able to convey her ideas to us and certainly has her mind set about things. She has also had a few successful times on the potty chair. I think she is a ways from training completely, but at least she seems to understand about the potty chair and what it's for. She is growing up so fast!
