Morning Cuteness + Green Smoothies

This morning has been full of cute moments:

My favorite so far was when Ava learned how the horse says "naaay!" 

She is repeating me when she sees her horse puzzle piece and says "naaay!"

I couldn't get enough and know her horse-loving "Nonna" (grandma) will love it.

She also took 2 whole steps last night!!!! 

About 5 min before Mark got home from work, I made her bedtime bottle. She was standing and holding onto her changing table when she saw me holding her bottle...

She let go and walked two steps toward her bottle in excitement and then fell to her speed crawling.

It's only a matter of time now, people! 

(I'm secretly fearing for her walking because I know it will be more like (running) away) 

She is also trying to put her own shoes on now which is pretty cute to watch. 

This was yesterday's smoothie. It was delish!!!! 

I used:

Half of one of the rainbow chard leaves (they're huge!)

2-3 celery stalks

half an apple

 those frozen mango pieces 

a thumb sized of the ginger root(peeled) a tbsp of chia seeds

I always add some water to help my hand blender out- and blend it up! Easy, peasy. 

Happy Tuesday!
