Ava loves...

snack time...




licking and giggling at herself in the mirror...


doing some stretches on daddy...


feeding her baby doll...


cuddle time with her bear...



relaxing on her chair with a book...

pushing her bear in a stroller...


and sometimes being pushed in the stroller by mommy or daddy.


It seems as though our daughter falls into the "toddler" catagory now and no longer in the "baby" catagory. This has been a bit hard for me, especially when I watch her play with the older kids in the nursery now instead of being in the baby room. I love watching Ava grow and learn new things, but knowing that she is a toddler has been a bit emotional. The "T" word is still hard to say at times when it comes to saying Ava in the same sentence!! She's growing up so fast and we praise God for what a healthy year she has had. We count our blessings that we've only had a few colds and a few ear infections. Last week we had Ava's 12 month check-up. She weighs a grand total of 17lbs. 9oz. She is 29 3/4" long. (She is only in the 5th percentile in her weight.)
My what a difference a year makes!
