Climber!

Ava and I went to Cherry Creek Mall today to play on the equipment!  Our girl is quite the climber!  So proud!

Camping!

We went on our first family camping trip this weekend!  Ava did a great job and is a sweet lil camper!  We took a great hike around Rocky Mountain National Park!  We got up so high in elevation there was still quite a bit of snow!  Ava loved hiking!  People kept asking Todd if he could carry them on his back.  Funny joke that got old fast....ha!

Cousins!

A sweet moment with cousins!

Father's Day

Here's a picture of Ava and her Daddy on Father's Day!  Her Cousin Calea was entertaining her!

Walking!

Today Ava let go of the table and took 3 steps!  It was truly thrilling!  I was even on the phone with Todd so he got to experience it too!  Here's a video of her standing and trying to walk again.  Near the end I am trying to get a good angle on the video and step on some paper...ignore the loud noise.  Ha.

Sign Language!

Ava signs like crazy!  She does milk, food, all done, more, blows kisses, please and thank you.  Here's a video of her doing please and food.  Please is waving an open hand over your chest.  Food is pretty obvious...she puts her fingers up to her mouth!

Calea & Ava

Calea and Rylie came over to play!  Here's some cute pictures of Ava and Calea enjoying some outside play time.

My sandbox!

I really love to play outside and especially in my sand box!  Fun!

Dog Food!

I love to get into dog food!  I'm "sorting" it!

Gardening!

Ava planted a flower garden at Grandma and Grandpa A's house.  She's a natural. 

Quite the story teller while gardening!



See what I did?  So pretty!



Ava loves to climb stairs

Our girl is 14 months old tomorrow.   Tonight we took a video of her climbing our stairs!  She's into everything!  I love how she stops 1/2 way and rests and seems so determined to finish her climb.  What a trooper!  Love her!

More bath fun!

Ava loves her bath!

Moving...any way she wishes! She's everywhere!

Easter 2011

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.
