I love this picture of Ava. You can see how big and blue her eyes are.
I put Ava's hair in pig tails. It is barely long enough but I think it is so cute. I didn't get the camera quick enough for this picture but Ava crawled underneath the baby einstein and pushed the seat out with her head. She was trying to stand up and had her hand through the leg hole and was peeking out. It was so funny but she threw that seat off before I could grab the camera.
Ava's been walking around with her little walker. No real signs of her walking anytime soon but she does pretty good on this when she wants to.
Yes that mess behind her she created... She does that everyday. I have learned not to clean it up until she is in bed for the night because she will just keep pulling them down. She is very good at emptying shelves and drawers!
We went to a baseball game last week with our friend Jessy. It was so fun and perfect weather. Thanks again Jessy for inviting us!!
Ava loves to make friends where ever she goes
This was my project I have been working on.. Our downstairs closet has always been a mess. We have been storing our food storage in there but just on the ground and it has been a nightmare to find anything in there as you can see...
So we finally bought some awesome shelves that work perfectly in there!! I love being organized!!
Ava loves hats!! She loves just about anything she can put on by herself and gets so excited to show off her skills
I don't know how she managed to do this... But somehow she crawled into this basket
Getting out was a little harder :)
She is a little climber. She climbs up anything she can... Climbing the stairs is a pretty regular occurence in our home. She always stands at the bottom and waits for me to see her before she starts. When I try to go after her she starts going full speed. She is so funny!
Things have been great for us though. We are loving the Arizona weather and going to the park often. We even went swimming last week which was fun. We celebrated Ava's first birthday on Sunday which is what I will post about next. We went to the doctor for Ava's check up and she is still very small for her age. She weighs 17.3 lbs (3%) and was 27 1/4 inches (10%) tall. I don't know how it is possible because I am constantly feeding her... but unfortunately that meant more blood work for Ava and this time she did not like it one bit. Our doctor isn't totally worried but we just don't want to miss anything if there is something wrong. I just think she is naturally little and hopefully the blood work shows that. We are a little worried however about her hips. Ava was born with underdeveloped hips and had to wear a brace when she was younger and we thought everything was resolved with that but as Dave and I have observed her sitting and crawling she always does it in a "W" and flails her legs out a bit weird and even with trying to walk it doesn't look completely normal. We have an appt with an orthopedic dr in a few weeks so I guess we will know then but we really hope everything is ok with that and no more hip brace especially now that she's so active... We'll keep you posted...
