Ava's One Year Pictures

The weekend after Ava's birthday, we took her to Babies 'R Us to have her "one year" picture taken. We had to wait 45 minutes before they could take her picture. She came in smiley and ready for a picture. While waiting, we played with all kinds of fun toys! She was like a "kid in a candy store", but she was a "kid in a toy store". It was funny to watch her get so excited about so many toys. Upon peeling her away from the toys (Elmo, specifically), she wasn't the happiest camper. She LOVES Elmo!

She was working on a tooth at the time, also. It has since popped through, so she now has her bottom front teeth and two top teeth (both next to the front) - she has goal-posts on top! :-)

Ava doesn't really sit still for pictures anymore. She's a mover and a shaker! It seems most pictures taken of her lately are of the back of her head; she moves that fast! :-) So, it was difficult to get both pictures below, because she wanted to get up and walk around. 'Still a happy girl!




This is her crinkley-nosed grin. What you can barely see in the lower-right of the picture, is her foot, which she hiked-up pretty high. Only for pictures :-) She may be a future karate expert or a Rockette, with this high-kick!
