Paint

My Grandma & Grandpa Gulke came to visit, and brought Ava a Dora paint book, 2 of her favorite things - combined! Can it get any better??

Having a "Coffee Straw Tug-o-War" at Red Robin with Grandpa!

Praying the paint is non-toxic...

We really enjoyed having them here, it's too bad all of our extended family live so far away, but nothing a road trip or plane ride can't fix...

So excited though for more family to be visiting in the next couple of weeks!

Night Out (with Ava, of course!)

So, last Friday, we decided to go out to eat since we thought it might be our last Friday night without a newborn for quite a while. No- we didn't go to some fancy, upscale restaurant, but instead to this little Vietnamese joint that serves delicious Pho soup & tofu spring rolls. Mo and I used to eat this soup back in Federal Way (where we're the minority among all the Asians) all the time, but we've never had it so tasty as this place's Pho (and they claim no MSG!). Well, I won't bore you with my rambling, here's some pictures:

Ava was determined to use the chopsticks just like Mommy & Daddy

"I did it!!"
So, there's this wierd pig in the front that Ava loves, and with no prompting from us, she just started trying to pose just like him... I don't know if it was one of those "you had to be there" moments, but it was hilarious!
And finally, a belly update- As of yesterday, I'm 4.5 cm dilated (woo-hoo!) still with no contractions! We'll see what happens tomorrow at my appointment...

Hopefully next post, I'll have a little baby to brag about!
