babysitting Ava

 What could be sweeter than watching a 4-week old learning to express herself?  Yesterday, I cared for my great-niece, Ava Grace.  She is starting to vocalize and enjoys face to face contact.  Sooo sweet :)

Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

 Ah......gooooooo!

a real smile

tongue in cheek

What did you say?

Okay, I'm getting kinda tired of this!

Dressed for success.

snugglin' in

guard cat??  I finally had to quarantine Piston.  She wanted to be RIGHT by Ava...even putting her nose into Ava's hair and licking it when I was trying to give Ava her bottle.  What is it about babies that animals can't resist? 

Well, I think I know the answer to that, don't you?
