Talking on the Phone

Watch out! Ava has learned to use the phone and thus begins a lifelong obsession with the phone. I am sure this a glimpse into her teenage years. Sorry the camera shakes so much, but I couldn't help but giggling! My, how much she has learned in the past year!

1 year old!

Ava playing in one of her many basket the morning of her first birthday. This has been 'her thing' lately. If it is a basket, then she wants to be in it and then out of it, then in it for a while. Such a beautiful smile!

I can't believe that it has already been a year! I know it is cliched to say this, but it really is true!What I can't get over is how happy she is and how happy she makes other people (including your's truly). She is such a blessing to have and I am so glad that God chose us to be her parents! She has so much more to give to the world, but if this first year is any indication of things to come, I can't wait for the rest!
