Ava celebrated Julia and Justine’s second birthday today at the Kohl Children’s Museum. It was a costume party. Ava was Yoda and I was Princess Leia.

“I Got It, I Got It”

This evening Ava started standing and walking all by herself without any prodding or helping. Ava turned to us and said “I Got This Momma and Dada” Looks like we will have a little walker joining us in Mexico for Marcus and Susanna’s wedding at the end of the month.

Summer is Coming to an End

The phrase “Time is Flying By” has really shown its face! Summer has passed us by and our angel is 14 months old! We have been to the Farmer’s Market and Emily Oaks Nature Center over the past few days. Dave had fond memories of the nature center. He fished there as a kid!
Ava had a blast at the Farmer’s Market. She cruised in her pink car, ate crossaints, and enjoyed the scenery!

Great Weekend Visit To Madison

The Jacobs family had a very nice weekend visit to Madison Wisconsin to spend some time with Auntie Amy and Uncle Bryce. We spent the weekend at their new home and Ava and Hoober really enjoyed the suburban lifestyle and enjoyed the house in a quiet neighborhood. We look forward to many more visits and one day having some little cousins to visit as well.

Ava Has Truly Blessed Our Lives

Ava is going to be 14 months old tomorrow and Christine and I continue to cherish each and every day with our little Angel. She continues to make us smile all day with her clapping and hamming it up. Ava loves being outside and she is never ready to come in from walks. Here are a few pictures from the last week.

David is the king of French fries! Ava wanted to know what these French fries were all about. She had a taste of her first fry (baked not fried)!

Chillin In Her Benzo

Ava really loves being pushed around the neighborhood in her new little car. She could literally go for hours and never gets bored. She enjoys reaching for the manhole covers and saying hello to every dog within eye-site.

St. Louis

Over the Labor Day weekend, we drove down to St. Louis. This was the first long rode trip for Ava. She was a natural traveller. Ava slept and played and did not cry or fuss once! Mama and dada took turns sitting in the back with her, which helped.
We spent time with Aunt Betsy, Uncle Tim, cousins Dola, Miranda, Evan, Erin, Amani and Jasmine.
Erin made an amazing cake for my birthday! It was amazing!
It was an extremely hot weekend, but we were all troopers and spent time outside.
Fishing, train rides, jumping on the trampoline and going for family walks were a few things we enjoyed.
We were able to enjoy grill Sunday! Ava loved Aunt Betsy’s chicken. We have made it twice since we’ve been home.
We are going to try and make this an annual family trip.

Who’s Walking?!

Our peanut is walking with a push cart! We cannot take enough video. I love it when she is walking and talking at the same time. She’ll be 13 months on Saturday!
