Ava's 1st Birthday


On June 18, our little girl has actually turned one. Since we're new to the blog world, it's just now getting posted. Really though, I can't believe we've already had an entire year with her. I honestly feel like we just met her for the first time just a couple months ago. It's amazing and sad how fast everything goes the second time around. She's really growing and doing new tricks all the time. We love having a daughter. There is something so sweet about her. Of course, we love our Owen. But Ava definitely brings something special to our family already.

Favorite things about Ava:
Bright blue eyes (a real miracle when Ryan's and his whole family's are brown)
Curly hair (slowly getting more of it)
Kisses
Chubbiness
Noises she's constantly making, like her tiger's purr
How she'll wrap her arms around you while you hold her, and pat you on the back while you pat her
How she'll go to sleep right when you lay her down - priceless
Her fun people personality

We absolutely love you Ava. We are so blessed to have you in our family. Happy birthday.

Wow, I can't believe one year has already gone by! Ava is so sweet and I love that she has curly hair, lucky girl. Good job starting a blog--we all look forward to watching your cute kids. Hope the time with Ryan gone goes super quick!
