The Scifres Family: New floors, birthday party, and the Zoo!!

Along with all of the sickness that has been in and out of our house this past month we also decided to put our home through a makeover. After Ava's birthday we realized that with walking just around the corner it was time to finally get new (safer) floors. Our house had spanish tile floors throughout the whole place except for the bedrooms. Although at times I liked the authentic look it gave the place, most of the time I HATED them!! They were very hard to clean, cold, and not fun for Ava to walk or crawl on. She also could not get her walking toys to move that well over the grooves in the floor. My main concern was how dangerous they were to Ava. True spanish tile is more like cement! We found an amazing company who was able to take out our old floors and put in hardwood throughout the whole house in just under 2 weeks. It may have been the longest 2 weeks of our lives, but it was all worth it in the end. For a few weeks we lived upstairs in the bedrooms and Ava lived at our nanny's apartment during the day. It was definitely a crazy few weeks, but thanks to our wonderful nanny, wonderful grandparents, and a very go with the flow baby we were able to make it work.

Here are some pictures from this past month........

At Claire's birthday party Ava wanted to steal the show and her cake. Ava kept trying to climb into Claire's chair and get her cake!

During construction Ava got to eat in her room. I don't know who liked this more, Ava or Bruce. He was able to jump into her chair afterwards and eat all of her leftovers.
