Ava's Entourage

Well, I guess this is the age for attachment objects (don't know for sure; I stopped reading the development books). For several months, Ava has loved her little pink beanie baby bear and her blanket. They stayed in the crib, but were always present for bed and naps.

Now she has grown quite fond of her Elmo and purple plush doll (a gift from our friend Debbie Gossert when she was born). She tries to take all 4 of these things everywhere. It's "bent" (blanket), "Melmo", "baby", and "baby". We call them her entourage. She has fed Elmo Dairy Queen, water, juice, bananas... but, she also brushes his teeth. I just thought you all would get a kick out of Ava and her entourage.


Cute pics of her feeding them breakfast, and pulling the whole entourage in her train.
