Ava really enjoys visit from friends and family, and here you’ll see she is having a great time being entertained by our good friends Nic and Nikki B. Nic’s got a little bug toy in his hand that Ava really likes. It has little red lights that flash and plays a little tune. It’s amazing what simple things can provide entertainment to a small infant…it just gets so much harder (and a lot more expensive) to entertain us as we get older. I used to say there’s no way we were going to spoil Ava with toys…we were going to get her some pots and pans and a wooden spoon, and that’s it. But I’m pretty excited about all those electronic learning gadgets out there from companies like LeapFrog. I’ve already bought her a LittleTouch LeapPad, as a mater of fact (actually I bought it before she was born)! I think Ava is going to be an excuse to spoil myself. Gee, I wonder if Ava is going to love computers and video games? ;-)
