Because of our chaos with the crazy rash (which btw completely disappeared when she woke up from her late afternoon nap today - geez it's the weirdest damn thing!), I almost forgot that we had some major firsts!!
Yesterday right before the rash incident, Ava took her very first steps all by herself! I guess I always imagined (or hoped) she would take them trying to walk over to me the numerous times I held out my arms to her saying "come to mummy!". Nope. She took a few steps towards one of our chickens in the backyard. I guess the chicken is more interesting. (I didn't get it on video but I did get a photo of it!)
Then this morning she said "mama" for the first time and I almost fell over. She says "dada" about a hundred times a day but never "mama" no matter how hard I tried.
And she said "bye" for the first time too - a couple days ago. Actually she said it to Meow and Kiera when we were leaving the fair.

Anyone else have any "firsts" recently that you'd like to share?
