Ava is 1!

September 20th was Ava's official birthday.  I had some professional pictures taken of her that day and  I was so happy with how they turned out.  I think they show Ava's fun little personality perfectly.  Here are some of my favorites.





On the night of her birthday we had a few more presents for her to open.  She obviously didn't know when her actual birthday was, but she sure did enjoy opening the gifts!




Oh how we love this little Ava girl!  She is so full of personality and is so good-natured.  At her 12 month appointment she weighed 22.8 pounds (75th percentile) and was 30 inches long (80th percentile).  She's a big, healthy girl! Ava has always been chatty, and by the time she turned a year she could already say "dada," "hi," "ba-bye," and "baby."  Drew and I constantly wonder what we did for fun before we had her because she is our constant source of entertainment.  It is so fun to watch her figure out the world around her.  She is like a giant sponge and just soaks everything in.  We love you Ava!

How lucky we all are that she was born just over a year ago. Happy Birthday, Ava girl. The Gardners love you. CK just thinks you are the best kid, ever!

What a beautiful girl. Seems like she has a similar personality to Eliza. Maybe they will get to play together sometime.
