This Thanksgiving we had so much to be thankful for!
Among the top of the list was the birth of Ava.
We HAD to celebrate her first birthday on the actual day...so to add to the craziness of hosting Thanksgiving, we also had a birthday bash for Ava in the morning.
At 12 Months here are 12 things that make Ava, Ava
1. Still maintains her reputation as a princess, angel girl!
2. When getting her out of her crib she jumps, squeals and then dives headfirst into her mattress.
3. Loves to be held and then loves to be put down.
4. Speedy.
5. Sleeps through the night, with the exception of politely whimpering for a bottle around 4am.
6. Will smile most anytime that I acknowledge her.
7. Clingy...and I love it.
8. Music. Crawls all around the piano while I play.
9. Squirmy. Will not sit still in a stroller or high chair.
10. Cleaner. Has finally stopped spitting up!
11. Standing. Can stand for a good 10 seconds without holding onto anything.
12. Wrapped. She has us all wrapped around her little pinky. She gets whatever she wants!
Could not get enough of this girl! Poor thing was sick, but that didn't stop her from attending her party.
The guests...us, my mom & Reed and my sister Kim and her five kids.
Grandma G spoiled Ava with this beautiful music box. I had one of these as a child and I absolutely adored it.
I think all the girls in the room adored this one too. She had them all eating out of her hand.
The birthday girl wanted nothing to do with her cake.
Maybe she was a little too stuffed from Thanksgiving dinner?
This past year has been nothing but pure joy as parents!
Words cannot express how much love, peace and joy she has brought into our family.
Here is a little video that we played of her first year.
