Ava loves to explore her world. She want to touch everything and everybody! Dave and I love seeing her eyes and body gestures when we are out exploring! She is one curious lady. Love her to the sky!
Dave’s First Father’s Day
Dave is a dedicated, loving, silly and proud father to Ava. He smiles ear to ear every time he sees her. Ava’s response to her Dada’s smile? An equally big smile!
1st Father’s Day
Sunday was the 1st family Father’s Day and it was an awesome family day. Ava was not feeling well and it started out a little rough but it quickly improved. We started the day with some presents and brunch and ended the day enjoying dinner at Centro with Papa Hoob and Nana. Dada loves Ava beyond words and she continues to get Cudder each and every day.
Ava’s Crawling
10.5 months and our baby is on the move. Happy, little Ava has been practicing her moves on the floor for the past week. Like everyone says, crawling just happens and it did!
She’s our moving love!
Ava’s Best Friend
Ava and Hoober are becoming closer and more loving towards each other every day. We could take 1000’s of pictures and hours of video featuring the two of them. Ava holds Hoober’s paws, pats him and loves every second. Every time Hoober walks towards her, she lights up and gets so excited. I can’t imagine how strong the bond will grow over the next decade.
Kisses for Dada
Daddy’s little girl giving him sweet kisses. It is Monday night and Ava should be fast asleep but woke up after 35 minutes as if it was a nap. We all made the most of it with some late night family time.
Ava, Grandpa and the Blackhawks
Grandpa dropped by to see Ava tonight and she was in the middle of a late nap. Ava woke up at the start of game 7 of the Blackhawks and Redwings so we ordered a Pizza and we all enjoyed watching Ava’s 1st hockey game.
SLC May 2013
Fun trip to Salt Lake City for Amy’s graduation and some beautiful mountain time.
SLC May 2013
We had an awesome trip to Salt Lake City for Amy’s graduation and to spend some time with the family. Check out the awesome small gallery of some of the great pics with Baby Ava….
Ava’s a Lover
Ava was extra loving on this trip. She couldn’t stop kissing everyone! Perhaps because she was surrounded by family 24/7! Makes me want to be near family everyday.
Hiking We Will Go!
Ava enjoyed her first hike up to the H rock behind my parents’ house. What a view!
Emigration Canyon
We drove up Emigration Canyon in our white Jeep (dada’s favorite car). What a view and perfect weather!
We passed Ruth’s Diner,which is an awesome breakfast spot. There were many cyclists on the road…I miss riding!
Amy’s Graduation
Tears filled my family’s eyes when we were at Amy’s graduation. It took 9 years for Amy to receive her PhD in neurobiology and her MD.
Dave and I cannot believe that in just 20 years Ava will be receiving her Bachelor’s Degree!
Ava is a Traveller
Ava was perfect on her first flight!
She slept for half of the flight to Salt Lake and played the other half. Passengers on our flight came up to us and said she was a perfect traveller! It’s in her blood!
First Airplane Ride Tomorrow
Ava is going on her first airplane tomorrow. We are heading to Salt Lake City for Amy’s final graduation.
We hope that the trip goes smoothly and she enjoys the plane. We shall see!
9.5
As soon as Ava wakes up we sing “Good Morning to You,” followed by saying, “Oh my gosh, it happened
again. You got cudder!” We love this one so much!
Ava’s the genius
Watching Ava evolve is amazing and it is so cool to see her mimic us and learn from us. It was awesome watching her take my laptop and use it as if she had done it many times before.
9 month
Ava is changing week by week. Her movements, sounds and facial expressions keep me and Dave smiling.
Her stranger anxiety has really began to show over the past two weeks. All she wants is mama!
What a Past Few Weeks
Ava has had a busy few weeks! She started clapping her hands last week and we cannot get enough! Ava claps when she’s happy, eating, playing and when she sees her family.
I have been working on and off with the straw with Ava. Today, she took her first sip from a straw. She was thrilled when a refreshing, cold beverage came up her straw. She did not want the cup to be empty.
We love this little girl more each day. She just keeps getting cudder!
Happy 9 Months Ava May Jacobs
Our little precious angel is 9 Months old today. We have enjoyed every minute of the 1st 9 months and we are looking forward to all the fun and changes ahead.
