Ava has been 10 months old now for a few weeks but mama forgets to get out the camera once and awhile :) She is growing before our eyes and becoming such a big girl with a personality of her own! She is getting very close to taking her first steps (see video to follow) and even says a few words now like mama,
dada,
baba (bottle), no,no (as she is doing something she isn't supposed to be), button and her newest word shoe. She also has 7 teeth now and eating real table food finally! We can't wait to see what is in store the next couple of months as she reaches the milestone of being a 1 year old!
Ava showing how old she is.
Opening presents (she's getting pretty good at it).
Ava's cake.
Everyone's cake.
As you may see, this picture was taken post injury. She has a little scrape under her nose from falling off of our front steps. She was a trooper though and continued enjoying her party.
She definitely got the hang of eating her cake :)
Her birthday injuries.
We attended the Twins game last Sunday with the Skaudis family. Ava, Willy and Audrey were all first time attendees and did wonderfully! We enjoyed a great day with great friends.
Ava has decided to use our end table as her support for taking steps and the other night lost her balance. The first of many bruises I'm sure.
Ava has been extremely happy since we had tubes put in her ears and the night after her surgery she started doing what we call her "silly grin." Everytime you tell her to smile or "say cheese," this is what she does. Makes me smile everytime!
