Random Avril Cuteness...

Avril pulls so many faces now.  I wish I could capture all the faces she makes... I guess I need to keep my camera on me more often.  What we have come to know as the "surprise face", has been ripped off by the etrade baby, and renamed the "shocked face".  If you have not seen this commercial, you must.  I get a kick out of the etrade baby commercials.  Here you will see where Avril's adorable facial expression has been stolen.  Its at the end of the commercial:

Hahaha :)  I knew we should've put Avril in commercials.  Her "shocked face" is even better:



She has such a big personality in that cute little body!  She keeps us laughing all the time.  Here is another funny face of Avril's:
We're not sure what to name this face yet...

We are astounded at how quickly Avril's language skills are developing.  She has been able to say "thank you" for some time now... only it sounds like "thee thoo".  She will hand you items that she has picked up and say with a big grin, "thee thoo!"  It is so cute :)  She also will drop things on the floor (on purpose) and say "Uh oh!"
Lately she has added the word, "close", which she learned from her musical radio toy.  When you open the place where the fake CD goes, it says "Open", and then when you close it, naturally it will sing, "Close!"  All you need to say is the word, "Open," and Avril will happily shout out "Close!"
Another one of her latest sounds is the "Moooo" sound.  Mommy has been playing with a little cow and making the cow moo.  As soon as you pull out the cow, Avril knows to go "Mooo".
She will try to imitate many of the words we say around her now.  Most of the time she just loves to babble her own language though.
Today I tried to get a video of Avril talking away, but she became camera shy once I started recording so it didn't work.  I took this small clip of Avril, and then I played it for her.  This is the funny part... she just lit up and got a huge smile on her face when I played this video back to her on my phone.  I am not exaggerating when I say that I played this video clip at least 30 times for Avril to watch.  She was just amazed to see herself on the screen.  Every time the video ended and I put the phone down Avril would pick it up and hand it back to me, grunting in her baby language for me to play it again.  Over and over, I obliged.  She then learned how to press the "play" arrow on my phone screen and played the video on her own!  Tonight she fell asleep with the phone in her hand, after having watched this video clip an obnoxious amount of times.  She is too funny...


And here is Avril wearing a new birthday outfit from her Grandma Carme.  What good taste Grandma has!  Thank you :)
