Ava is 1!

I am really not sure how our baby can be one already! This year has flown by so fast! Ava got her boot cast off on Friday and has been loving her freedom! :) She is standing alone, but not walking unsupported yet. She loves bath time, loves to eat, plays very well with her siblings, makes a beeline for the bathroom anytime the door is left open, enjoys reading, still takes 2 naps each day, sleeps well at night, wears size 12 month clothes, and brings SO much joy to our home.

We had a little birthday party with family on Sunday night after church. There were lots of little helping hands when it was time to open presents! :)

Ava was not thrilled about everyone singing happy birthday and she didn't really like the cupcake - she doesn't enjoy getting her hands all dirty. Poor baby.

Monday was her actual birthday. We went to story time at the library and then played outside enjoying the warmish weather. We even had a picnic for lunch - the breeze was sort of chilly, but not too bad.

Happy Birthday, sweet baby girl!
