My first trip to Disney Park: Animal Kingdom!

I love the movie the Lion King ! Very apropo for a Leo baby such as myself born to a Leo Mother. So my father decided it would be fun to go to Animal Kingdom for Christmas. My mom watched this video for quick tips on the park ( http://youtu.be/lFt5IZ7SjQ4). We drove four hrs from Miami with my Tata Nadia and spent Christmas Eve in Orlando. We sung all my favorite carols: Jingle Bells. Frosty the Snowman. Rudolph the Red Nose Reindeer. And after a festive dinner at Benihana, we went to bed anticipating our day and my first Disney park experience at Walt Disney's Animal Kingdom!
The temperature was perfect (60s-70s) , all us girls rocked our Mouse outfits and I got to see my favorite movie come alive via the Festival of the Lion King perfomance( http://youtu.be/oqQxVGZ5RH0 ). Here are a few pics capturing my favorite moments at Animal Kingdom! Enjoy !               Love, Avadorable =)

Happy Holidays and Happy New Years! My blog will be under construction..look out for update and more in 2014!

April Shower & May Flowers....part 1

Hello,Hi, Hola, Bonjour, Hey  (yes I've increased my vocabulary in the greetings dept) family!
It's been a busy two months..spring has passed and summer's here at last! Well, in South Fl it always feels like summer but the season means my birthday is near! I am now telling those who ask that I am "almost 2".  Not only did flowers bloom this spring, but so did I! Here's what I've been up to:
In April,  me and my friend Mel graduated from Mommy&Me(in our cases..Daddy and We) swim class at Flamingo Park Pool.  
I dressed up as a cheerleader to participate in the 13th Annual International Art of Storytelling Family Festival

Also in April, my mommy started her own blog www.sobesavvy.com in which I was featured in two articles thus far. Be sure to check it out!

Bye-bye, Adios, ciao,au revoir, sayonara, peace out! ( yes, I'm saying all that now too)

March Marvels..Part II...Happy Easter!

Hello Family and Friends ,

Although I was not a big fan of that huge Easter bunny(yes I cried and did not want to sit on his lap..sorry Mom/Dad), I did enjoy all the marvels that he brings.
 We attended a Bunny Brunch at Brio with some friends, and checked out The Eggstravaganza at Gulfstream

 

 and my parents /Tata orchestrated my very own Easter egg hunt during the Japanese Spring Festival at the Miami Beach Botanical Gardens  

Hope you all had a Happy Easter! Until Next time.....#outandaboutAva

March Marvels...part I

Hello Family and Friends,
Happy April the first !  Just when I got the hang of pronouncing "March...Easter... Bunny" there is a new month upon us! I do look forward to what Mommy/Daddy have in store for me this month (one of them being swimming classes with Daddy) but here is a look back at all the marvels of my month of March.
I rode the bus and then the metromover train for the first time to attend Family Fest at the Adrienne Arsht Center. I had lots of fun doing arts and crafts with Mommy and can't wait until their next event!

Fun is my favorite word

   I love being creative

Riding round on the metromover train ..until next time #outandaboutAva

                                                                         

February Fun! Part 2

I was born into a foodie family. So it was only right for me to experience a few South Beach Wine & Food Festival events. Now I know what you are thinking, why is a 18 month old around wine and food when I am not of legal drinking age and barely have teeth?! Well my resourceful Mommy has found some fun ways to include me in the weekend long soirées.

 I got to have some fun in the sun at Let's Get Spiked~ Celebrity Chef Volleyball. The weather was perfect for playing in the sand ! We ran into  The Miamista, Erin Newberg while she was interviewing for Miami Pop. Here we are in our shades checking out the hot chefs! 

My mom scored the next event on Living Social...Fun and Fit as Family, held at Jungle island ! Because I have yet to turn two, my entry fee was free! I got to taste nutritious cuisine while exploring the animals! There was lots of giveaways, great music and plenty of fun to be had by all.  We enjoyed so much, I think it will become a family tradition!     See you later alligator! #OutandaboutAva

February Fun ! Part I

February ...Superbowl,Black History Month, and exciting events are upon us in Miami!                       I turned 18 months old recently and decided to document my life as a baby on South Beach and beyond.

This is my first blog , so first I'll tell you a little about me. I am a baby about town who enjoys meeting new people, traveling to new places, and discovering new things. I am a social butterfly by blood not relation.  When my parents moved here to Miami in 1996 from Baltimore, MD ( GO RAVENS ,Superbowl 2013 champions), they did not see South Beach as being a place to raise a child but alas I am here,  living and loving life!

Here are some very fun events I attended this month. First ,the Miami International Boat Show in which my Mommy won tickets via Twitter and took Daddy and me to see all the small cruisers, fishing and jet boats. Oh and yachts too! You can get on them and check out the cabins. Here's a picture of me and my parents at the event ( I was a little scared of the fake pelican but otherwise had a blast ! )

 And here I am...all smiles at the boat show!

Stay tuned for more Out and About Ava! #outandaboutAva
