Ava’s First Birthday

It is hard to believe, but Ava is already 1 years old (7/13 at 1:26 PM to be exact). Our lives have been forever changed by our precious little daughter.

On Sunday we had a birthday party (a Baby-que) with a bunch of friends and their kids over. It was great to see all the kids and range of ages/activities that they like to do. A little preview of what we have coming in the next few years. Oh, and we were able to catch up with the adults too!

And Ava’s personalized cake just for her (Elmo of course) DSC02826

A little post-cake, pre-bed milk (no more formula – Ava is on whole milk now). DSC02830

Tuesday morning we gave Ava her “big” gift from us. Of course we had to get her a Radio Flyer wagon – although the new versions have seats, and a canopy to keep out the sun.

Later in the day Ava played with her card from Lola and Papa – she loves to dance when the musical card plays! DSC02880

Ava is multitasking here – eating the plastic broccoli from her play kitchen while riding in the wagon.DSC02847

Later she had to show off the wagon to her friend Sofie. DSC02854

And of course she got to eat more cake for her actual birthday. And for the record she does love sweets – she is definitely our kid! DSC02873

Flash back to a year ago, where this was the scene…

It is amazing that in just 365 days, our little tiny newborn has grown up into a (nearly) walking, chatty little toddler that loves to eat food, smile, and laugh.
