up!

we took ava to her first movie yesterday! UP! it was soooo cute and she absolutly loved everything about the movies! she was in awe of the huge screen, i swear when we walked in (the movie was already playing) she said "wow!" she just sat in her chair the first few minutes watching...and of course enjoying handfuls of that special movie popcorn! she didn't quite get the concept of whispering...which i thought was strange, because sometimes around the house we play whispering games...but she was having none of that during the movie! i can't tell you how many times she said in her loud little voice "what happened?" and "where did he go?" (some of her favorite phrases right now...oh yeah, and "PUPPYYYYYYY!" hopefully we didn't drive the people sitting near us totally crazy. luckily, the movie wasn't very full. we actually got to stay and watch the whole movie. i was predicting we would last about an hour and then have to make our exit due to a wiggle worm...but she did so good. she got a little wiggly towards the end, but she just stood up and drank her sprite, walking between bo and i.

the best part was during the movie every once in a while she would lean over and give me a hug and say "i love you, mommy". totally melt my heart...but even better was when she leaned over to bo and gave him a hug around the neck and said "i love you, daddy". ugh...that girl knows how to work it! such a fun afternoon and i can't wait until we get to go to the movies again! such an adventure!

and yes, those are her bracelets around her ankles and blanket also had to go to the movies with us! blanket goes EVERYWHERE with us!!!
