Ava at 1 Year

Our little Ava is one year old today. How fast did the time go! Here she is at 1 month and now she is standing and walking around our house. She is into everything and has little "meltdowns" when you take something away or your say no to her. TJ and I find it slightly humorous as she will throw herself onto the floor. She is already quite the actress.

Ava has great balance and can stand for quite some time. She will take about 6 steps on average but still cannot stand up without assistance of any sort.
Here is Carys at the same age. They are unique to themselves and definitely have different personalities. Ava seems to understand us more, clapping her hands on cue and playing peek-a-boo and blowing kisses.
Here she is walking, proud of herself. She had her first fever ever two weeks ago, took her to the doctor and it was a terrible virus. We are blessed that she has been a very healthy baby.
She had her last bottle on her first birthday and has been drinking cows milk out of sippy cups like a champ. Her body is slowly adjusting well.
She had her first taste of cake and ice cream on her birthday and loved it.She also went on her first airplane ride, followed by an amusement park ride. She enjoyed herself but does not sleep well being held. She prefers her carseat, stroller or crib much better.
When she sleeps, she sleeps well. It is rare she gets us up at night. She loves her pacifier, blanket and monkey.


Here is a video of Ava walking.
