Today was Ava's 2nd Easter!  She was 5 days old for her first Easter.  So now, every holiday this year will be Ava's 2nd....wowsa.  Here's our sweet girl all dressed up with her Elmo Easter basket. 

Fun pictures of a 1 year old!

Sometimes I take my bow out of my hair!  :)

Ava loves to play tea party!  But she's tired of me taking her picture! 

Stroller

Ava loves her baby stroller....she pushes it all around the house.  So sweet!

We gave Ava a Rocking Horse for her birthday.  She loves it.  Here's a fun video!

Ava's aunt Lindsey and Uncle Aaron came over for a bar-b-que last weekend.  Here's a cute picture of them playing.  Love!

Everywhere!

Ava is moving all around.  She can get anywhere she wishes.  It's pretty cool.  Here's a fun video I shot today.

Ava is 11 months old!

Milestones!
*  Ava is cutting her first tooth on the bottom! 
*  She is a full time cruiser around the furniture!
*  She loves to feed herself and loves eggs, green beans and bananas!
*  She loves her doggie Barkley!
*  Went on her first bike ride with Mom and Dad!

I love to tell stories with my hands!

Barkley really loves my stories!

Cruisin!

Ava is getting so good at cruisin around the furniture.  We had to install padded bumpers on the furniture to protect her from falls.  I love this video of her cruisin, exploring and enjoying her ability to move around.  We are all baby proofed and loving this phase of her life!

Boo!

Ava loves to play Peek a Boo!  She opens and closes the door to her house when I say "Peek a Boo"!  Awwwwh!

Scoot!

Ava is really on the move these days.  She loves to roll and scoot across the floor to get where she wants to go.  She also loves to cruise around the furniture!  I spend a lot of my day holding her hands and walking all over.  She feels so proud of herself. 

Here's a video of Ava scooting across the floor to get my cell phone.  I love to challenge her to move places.  She LOVES my phone so I set it on the floor as a "prize" for her to move towards.  I think she knows how to use my phone better than me!  She looks like a professional using her thumbs to hit all the buttons.  So sweet.
