July Happenings!

Hello Family and Friends! Sorry, it's been awhile since our last post, but I wanted to keep you all posted on the latest Ava happenin's this month. 

First, Ava had her 1st casting call for a Pampers print ad.  A friend of mine notified me about it a week ago and so I couldn't pass the opportunity up to have my sweet baby in front of the camera!  Luckily, we didn't have to wait long in line to be seen as we arrived later in the day.  Below is a pic of Ava waiting for her name to be called.

Though she looked cute in pink, I soon realized that she need to bare down to her diaper since it was a diaper audition.  So here she is with mommy getting ready for her close up!

Regardless if she gets a callback, the experience was fun! 

Last Sunday, Charlie, Ava and I went to visit our dear friends, Beth and Carl, sing at Generation Church in Buda, TX.  Beth has an amazing voice and her husband, Carl, is an amazing guitarist.  He recently won 1st place in a guitar playing competition near Houston this year!!  Here's our photo op with our musician friends. (They were so excited to get a surprise visit from us, especially since this was their first time to see Ava!) 

Beth is releasing her new album on August 23rd! You can check out her website, which is beautifully designed by Carl, at www.bethminer.com .

Today, Ava and I visited my friend, Janise, and her son, AJ.  Ava played and played on the floor while watching AJ play around her.  He gets so excited to see her when she comes.  Here's an adorable pic of Janise, Ava, and AJ hugging each other as Ava gets ready to go bye bye.

When we got home this afternoon, Ava received a wonderful package in the mail from Ribbies Clippies.  One of Charlie's clients owns this hair ribbon business, which sells adorable hair ribbon clippies for babies and toddlers.  I chose several designs for Ava and her friend, Ashlyn, in Dallas to wear. :)  Ava couldn't wait to wear them right away so I put one on her as soon as I opened the package!

If you would like to check out these cute clippies, which by the way attach really easily to fine hair, then you can visit their website at www.ribbiesclippies.com .  They come in many cute colors!

Well, that's all for now. Oh, I almost forgot to mention that this past week, Ava, Daddy, and I went to the movies together for the first time!  We saw Mama Mia with some other friends and their babies (Yes, Charlie was the only dude, but he had a blast!).  It's baby day at the Alamo Draft house on Tuesdays for the first showing so the theatre was crowded with mommies and their babies.  Ava did really well to my relief.  I got to enjoy a movie and a meal at the same time!!! Hooray!  Well, that's all folks!  We'll be back sooner than later.

Caio!
