Ava's speech has exploded over the past couple weeks. She is a little chatterbox and says the funniest things. It has been so much fun hearing the new words and phrases she has learned.
One of my favorite quotes is "No butterfly get me." Ever since our close encounter with butterflies at the Academy of Sciences, Ava has been afraid of them. Whenever we go for a bike ride or walk on the trail Ava says, "No butterfly get me" every time we see a butterfly. Right now there are tons of butterflies on the trail, so she repeats it over and over. It is funny and kind of sad. I've tried to explain to her that the butterflies are nice and won't hurt her. I also have told her I will protect her, but nothing has helped. I'm really hoping she will outgrow this fear.
Another thing Ava loves to say is, "Me okay" whenever she falls or bumps something. She also will announce that her toys are okay if they get bumped or fall on the ground. Ava is also a very kind and concerned daughter, so if I hurt myself she will ask, "Are you okay". It has been nice because she really only cries if she is really hurt.

I love when they start talking more. You get a little insight into what they are thinking. Ezra recently said a nine word sentence. Most of them are 5 or 6, but he said "Hey Mom, what are you doing on the Q-puter?"
It was awesome. I can't wait to hear what they have to say to each other.
Good Luck with the butterfly thing. Unfortunately I have no pointers for you!
