DRESS-UP WITH MOMMY







For a shower gift Ava got a pair of scrubs (before she was even born), so today we played dress-up. She was more interested in eating the stethoscope than anything else.

FIRST CAR







Ava got her first car and cellphone for Christmas - learning at a young age.

CHRISTMAS DINNER AND OPENING PRESENTS
















MORE CHRISTMAS
















FIRST CHRISTMAS (opening her stocking)











Merry Christmas!!! Gabe and I agree that this was probably our best Christmas ever. Even though Ava is still young it was so fun to share the excitement with her. Everything was so new and fun for her. We enjoyed sharing her with a lot of our other family and friends. Ava had many firsts on Christmas day as well. She had been saying "blah, blah, blah" but decided to add "Dad-da-da" to her vocabulary. Also as everyone was leaving she decided to showoff and waved for the first time - so sweet (and mom caught it on video).

TRYING TO CRAWL







Ava has been trying so hard to crawl. Mom and dad are scared of the endless possibilities once she is mobile. In the meantime she spends lots of time sitting and playing with her toys.

FIRST HORSE







Grandma Sharon cannot wait to get Ava on a real horse - so she got her this one to practice on in the meantime. Ava thinks she is quite a big girl.

6 months old!
















Well we are way behind on posting pictures. Here are some from around Thanksgiving.
