Ava's Official First Birthday (July 24, 2009)

Our beautiful little miracle officially turned one on July 24th. Its so hard to believe that it has already been a year, it feels like it was just a few months ago we were bringing her home from the hospital. As of her first birthday she still can't walk, but will take a few steps, and she loves to cruise. She also says about 10 words and makes animal sounds. She says what a duck, rooster, and cow says. She is one smart turkey.

Everyday is a new adventure where she is constantly learning new things.

In the last month she has started blowing kisses (6/24), said "duck" (7/3), rode a four wheeler and saw fire works for the first time (7/4), turned and came down the stairs on her own (7/7), took two steps on her own (7/9), Says "moo" when asked what a cow says (7/9), said "bear" (7/11), had first bloody nose when fell out of bed (7/12), says what rooster and duck says (7/13), started pointing at what she wants (7/21), started saying "more" (7/22).

For her big day we went to the pond to feed and chase the ducks, one of her favorite things to do. We went to lunch at the Cheesecake Factory (we had a gift card and they give her her own little plate of bread and banana's), and later that night we went swimming where she learned how to say ball for the first time and then came home and had a cupcake. She must not like the feel of it on her hands, because she sure wanted to shake it off. We sure wish Sissy had been here to spend the day with us.
