Mike, Tara, and Aviana

Mommy and daddy were relaxing just before my bedtime tonight (Oct 15) while I was playing in front of the TV. I turned around and amazed them by grabbing my toy and taking my first few steps without their help. Now I have officially joined the older residents in our building in the walker club -- there are now 3 people in this apartment complex using one of these.

2006-10-15T19:04:00.001-07:00

Wow baby, you're fast!

2006-10-15T19:04:00.000-07:00

I don't know if I can hold on much longer.

2006-10-15T19:03:00.000-07:00

La la la la. Just taking a spin around the living room.

2006-10-15T19:02:00.000-07:00

Who put this TV in my way?

2006-10-15T19:00:00.000-07:00

I am soooo close to the button. I can almost taste the water.

2006-10-15T18:59:00.000-07:00

When will I be able to get my own drink?

2006-10-15T18:58:00.000-07:00

What a cutie I am.

2006-10-15T18:56:00.000-07:00

Aviana had a little lamb....

2006-10-15T18:55:00.000-07:00

Did anyone else hear the puppy bark at me?

2006-10-15T18:54:00.000-07:00

Aviana

2006-10-15T18:53:00.000-07:00

What a cute pair.

2006-10-15T18:52:00.000-07:00

I love my mommy!

2006-10-15T17:53:00.000-07:00

Looking at some leaves. Aviana didn't know what she thought of them.

2006-10-15T17:50:00.000-07:00

Mommy and Ava

2006-10-15T17:37:00.000-07:00

Yippie, It

2006-10-15T17:35:00.000-07:00

Daddy's little girl.

2006-10-15T17:33:00.000-07:00

Aviana, the camera is over here!

2006-10-15T17:32:00.000-07:00

9 Months Old - September 25

2006-10-15T17:24:00.000-07:00

I'm 9 months Old - September 25/06. Where has the time gone? The countdown to Christmas begins.

2006-10-15T17:21:00.000-07:00

Aviana, what a big girl you are.

2006-10-15T17:20:00.000-07:00

Look who's ready for school.

2006-10-15T17:18:00.000-07:00

Aviana

2006-10-15T17:17:00.000-07:00

Look who's standing? I even walk along the furniture too!!!

2006-10-15T17:16:00.000-07:00

Look, I found Danny the puppy.

2006-10-15T17:08:00.000-07:00

Our little Italian girl. She sure enjoys a good pasta and bread dish.

2006-10-15T17:05:00.000-07:00

I love spaghetti!!

2006-10-15T17:03:00.000-07:00

Someone thinks she's a funny girl!

2006-10-15T17:01:00.000-07:00

"This is my first attempt at eating toast." I think She likes it folks!!

2006-10-15T16:59:00.000-07:00

I love mini-go. It's my favourite breakfast food.

These are a few of my favourite things!!

2006-10-12T19:15:00.000-07:00

I really love to play with my cousin Matthew. This was our first sleep over at my house.

2006-10-12T19:13:00.000-07:00

Mommy caught me behind the door. Guess what I found?

2006-10-12T19:12:00.000-07:00

Oooo...I really like to play with the door stopper. It makes a funny noise.

2006-10-12T19:10:00.000-07:00

I love to tackle my daddy.

2006-10-12T19:09:00.000-07:00

Me and my daddy!

2006-10-12T19:05:00.000-07:00

Daddy, I really like it!!

2006-10-12T19:04:00.000-07:00

Is this Psalty the singing song book? I didn't think he was still around.

2006-10-12T19:02:00.000-07:00

I dig these tune's dad!

2006-10-12T18:58:00.000-07:00

I love digging in the toy box for my favorite things.

2006-10-12T18:57:00.000-07:00

Play time.

Mommy's little helper

2006-10-12T18:52:00.000-07:00

Please mommy, let me be your assistant. Fire daddy and hire me.

2006-10-12T18:49:00.000-07:00

I love doing the laundry. The best part is pulling all of the folded clothes off of the couch.

2006-10-12T18:47:00.000-07:00

There is just one more thing at the back of the basket mommy.

2006-10-12T18:41:00.000-07:00

I think I got it.

2006-10-12T18:32:00.001-07:00

You're never to old or too young to help around the house.

2006-10-12T18:32:00.000-07:00

I can't wait to be able to do the dishes....well at least this is mommy and daddy's wish.

2006-10-12T18:28:00.000-07:00

Hmmm, what do I want?

2006-10-12T18:27:00.000-07:00

I'm a little busy Mommy

2006-10-12T18:24:00.000-07:00

Let me help measure the ingredients.

I'm 8 months old - August 25

2006-10-12T18:07:00.000-07:00

"Look how much I am growing. I turned 8 months on August 25/06." It is getting harder and harder to take nice pictures of Aviana on the couch. She usually tries to jump off. It

2006-10-12T18:06:00.000-07:00

Watch out mommy, I'm going to crawl right off this couch and get you.

2006-10-12T17:52:00.000-07:00

Don't you even dare take another picture of me today!

2006-10-12T17:43:00.000-07:00

Sitting so pretty.

2006-10-12T17:41:00.000-07:00

Ain't I pretty!

Our August Vacation with Mom and Dad Tisdall (Tim too!)

2006-10-11T15:14:00.000-07:00

Here is the back view of the cabin we stayed in.

2006-10-11T15:13:00.000-07:00

This is the deck where Mike caught his one and only fish. The fish got revenge by biting Mike on the thumb as he was releasing it back to the lake.

2006-10-11T15:10:00.000-07:00

Another view from the deck.

2006-10-11T15:09:00.000-07:00

Wow, what a sight!

2006-10-11T15:08:00.000-07:00

Hi Karen, how's the view?

2006-10-11T14:58:00.000-07:00

A pretty nice size kitchen

2006-10-11T14:54:00.001-07:00

Bryan and Karen lounging around.

2006-10-11T14:54:00.000-07:00

Here is the living room. This place had 2 fire places. One upstairs, and one down.

2006-10-11T14:53:00.000-07:00

hehehehehhe

2006-10-11T14:52:00.000-07:00

so many tickles.

2006-10-11T14:51:00.001-07:00

I'm going to get your tummy!

2006-10-11T14:51:00.000-07:00

Daddy, Donald, and Ava posing for a picture.

2006-10-11T14:50:00.000-07:00

What a cutie pie!

2006-10-11T14:49:00.000-07:00

Playing with Grandma.

2006-10-11T14:48:00.000-07:00

Mommy and Aviana beating Daddy at crib.

2006-10-11T14:47:00.000-07:00

Mommy, I think we should play this card.

2006-10-11T14:46:00.000-07:00

Daddy are you tired of holding the bottle?

2006-10-11T14:38:00.000-07:00

Getting creative.

2006-10-11T14:37:00.000-07:00

Many nights we enjoyed sitting by the fire.

2006-10-11T14:33:00.000-07:00

A very colourful fire.

2006-10-11T14:21:00.000-07:00

No, this is not a rerun of the "Creature From The Black Lagoon". This is just a trip down to the lake. As you can see, it was very windy.

2006-10-11T14:20:00.000-07:00

Like Father, like Son.

2006-10-11T14:14:00.000-07:00

Is Mike actually relaxing?

2006-10-11T14:03:00.000-07:00

Hee hee, I'm wearing Uncle Tim's hat.

2006-10-11T14:02:00.000-07:00

The "looking naturally while gazing off into the distance" pic

2006-10-11T14:00:00.000-07:00

Playing with Uncle Tim

2006-10-11T13:59:00.000-07:00

Hanging out with Daddy.

2006-10-11T13:58:00.000-07:00

I love my rubber ducky!

2006-10-11T13:57:00.000-07:00

Grandpa, I want my ducky back!!!

2006-10-11T13:56:00.000-07:00

Another Gust of wind.

2006-10-11T13:54:00.000-07:00

Even Grandma was getting blown away.

2006-10-11T13:51:00.000-07:00

Ava, Smile for Uncle Tim.

I can sit up all by myself!!

2006-08-06T07:32:00.000-07:00

Look what I found! I heard a little peep coming from Aviana's room, and to my surprise she was sitting up in her crib.

2006-08-06T07:25:00.000-07:00

"Look Mommy, I can pull myself up and look over the rail" - I guess I will now have to put the rail up when Ava's in her bed!

2006-07-30T13:59:00.000-07:00

I'm 7 months already. Where has the time gone?

2006-07-30T13:57:00.000-07:00

Why bear, are you shrinking?

2006-07-30T13:55:00.000-07:00

(Finally) sitting like a princess.

2006-07-30T13:50:00.000-07:00

This playing stuff is getting boring. What kind of mischief can I get into?

2006-07-30T13:46:00.000-07:00

This is a new move. Pulling myself up from a sitting position.

2006-07-30T13:45:00.000-07:00

I can taste victory. I am almost standing.

2006-07-30T13:44:00.000-07:00

Mommy caught me climbing on the furniture.

2006-07-30T13:43:00.000-07:00

Oops, I fell down. Maybe next time.

2006-07-30T11:23:00.000-07:00

Here I am at my Uncle Paul's and Aunt Tammy's house. They have gone away on vacation today. Since they aren't home, I decided to sneak into their pool. Isn't that what happens. When the cat's away, the mice do play!

2006-07-30T11:15:00.000-07:00

splashing good fun!

2006-07-30T11:13:00.001-07:00

Telling secrets

2006-07-30T11:13:00.000-07:00

Mommy and baby enjoying a refreshing dip in the pool.
