A few more and some beach pics!!!

A few recent pics

I know it's been a while since my last post, we have been super busy and our computer was out of commission for a while. But here are some recent pics of Ava...she is still a chunk and we love it! We took her to the park one day on the swings, one day in the back yard with some of her new toys in her rockin bikini, and then we tested out some new shades before we took her to the beach (I will have to post those pics next, she had a blast!)....hope everyone is well!!!

Ava's 1st Birthday Pics-Here are a few of many!!!!

Happy Birthday Ava!!

Saturday, Ava turned 1!!!!!! We had an awesome party with some friends and GG and Mike came from California...good times! I will try my best to get some pics up this weekend! Now that Ava is up and walking there is no stoppin' her!

Short walking video....

Mark the Calender!

She is OFFICIALLY walking today!!! I will post a video later, it is too cute and she could not be happier about it! Watch out world, here comes Ava!

Ok...so time for an update on my soon to be 1 YEAR OLD!

Well, Ava will be the BIG 1 YEAR old on the 20th!! Can't believe how fast it has gone by. She is almost walking now...WOW! We just visited California, it was so nice to see everyone. Ava is doing great! She has started eating table food (this week)...and I am starting to mix her bottles with real milk to get her off the formula by her birthday! Big step!! She does the normal baby babble...mama, dada, baba...but nothing really goes with anything yet, but I can tell she is trying! We are just having a ball watching her change everyday! Alison, I am coping this from you but...

Ava loves:
HER FOOD
Her "spanky" -a little blanket she sleeps with
Her passy (of course)
she loves to laugh and giggle and roll around on the ground and be played with
she loves to go on walks outside ( so curious about everything!)


The only thing she does not seem to love to do is: SLEEP...but we are working on that!

Her Laughing while I am trying to get her to walk on video

Bath Time with Grandpa...thanks for putting cup in the water Gramps, yummy!

Cali Trip

So we had an awesome time, here are some of the pics, Ava had a blast playing with her new BFF Cali!!!

Going Back to Cali!

We leave Friday for Cali for over a week, wish us luck on the flight! Should be interesting!! Hopefully she sleeps! I will be sure to post my Cali pics when we get back! Until then....

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO ALL!!!

Snow Day in Florida?

So I am home with Ava today (who is napping) because the Escambia County Schools are closed today (which means Daycare too), due to SNOW WARNING!! WHAT???? WE are supposed to get 1-3 inches of snow, we'll see about that. Either way, I am home with my baby which is where I would rather be anyway. I will be sure to get pictures if it snows, but don't hold your breathe!

You know you are in the south when.....

We had breakfast at Cracker Barrell and had to get a shot of Ava in one of the FAMOUS white rocking chairs outside every cracker barrell restaurant. She thought the chair was made for her of course, sorry ava not buying a $75 chair that you will grow out of next week!

Another cute pic

Here is a pic from McGuires this weekend, we all went to lunch, I love the faces she makes!! (Ava that is, Aunt Amy is pretty funny too)! Haha

Captured Clapping on Video Finally-she is camera shy:)

So Ava can clap and wave on "Q". As you will see she is not really a performer yet so it is hard to get her to do stuff willingly while the camera is on, she looks a little mad in this video, but I captured her clapping skills and some what of a wave on camera so thought it was worth sharing. She is much better than this, but at least you can see part of it:) She is still healing well and doing great!!
