Ava is starting to come out of her shell

After coming back from the village visit today Terri sat Ava on the bed to play. Ava played by herself without either one of us having to be with her. It was a milestone. It was wonderful to sit back and watch. Then we took her out to the foyer by the elevators to play just to get out of the room for a while.

One of the girls from one of the other families came out of the elevator and informed us that there is a play room on the second floor. She asked if we wanted to go down there and play because that was where her parents and little sister was.

We jumped at the chance. Well let me tell you. Ava's face lit up as soon as we walked in. She was playing with three other kids there. Laughing, Crawling, Standing. It was awesome. I'm so proud of her. We got to see her true personality for the very first time. She is a little monkey.

Is there a smile hiding in there...
