Ava had a great birthday week!
Getting into the plastic container cupboard - one of her favorite places!
Her first birthday present - a great puzzle from Grandma on Wednesday morning. She was very proud of the fact that she put the dog back where he fit (sort of).
After I got home from school on Wednesday, we took a dip in the rather frigid pool (and, yes Gretchen, I know we live in Florida, but the temp is only 70!). She had been pointing to the pool all day and signed 'water' right after we got out.
She LOVED it!
Cold and content.
Grandma and Pop Pop arrived late Wednesday night and took over nanny duties on Thursday and Friday. They had tons of fun playing and reading together.
Ava even got to share one of her favorite times of the day with Grandma.
She would point to book after book and Pop Pop would read them all!
On Saturday, we had a small party for to celebrate. She loved opening gifts, but preferred to play with the cards.
Mom made a great homemade carrot cake, that we attempted to make look like a dog. From this angle it's close...but everyone thought it was a cow. It was de-lish none the less!
Sitting ever so nicely for a group photo-op with Kaylee and Lyla.
With her best friends, Kaylee (4 months) and Lyla (9 wks).
And because it was Derby Day, the ladies donned lovely hats! Stephanie won for most creative - the crab hat couldn't be beat.
Doug and Kaylee.
Attempting to feed Grandma yogurt with a spoon. :)Ava and I watched "Baby Einstein" one day before dinner. She swayed to the music, clapped, and learned a new sign!
This was toward the beginning of the birthday cake experience. She wasn't too sure about the frosting or the cake itself, but loved the reaction she got from the dogs!
This is the final scene from the birthday cake experience. It is priceless!
