She is adorable Erika, seriously, I think what an angel- with some crayons! My little Ava has been making me a bit crazy lately, this reminds me to be like you... patient... I am too busy cleaning it up and scolding her to even take pictures! I love your shower post too- good job! Looks like a magical shower!
