Holy Geez

I can’t believe Ava is now ONE. I guess in retrospect, I saw it coming.

So, how do we commemorate this big birthday? In two easy steps you can try at home.

Step one: We party! (Par-tay, even.)




(the pink stuffed animal is a kitty. "Kitty" is one of Ava's favorite words - right next to "Up" "Down" and "Booooooooooook.")





(Classic WTF moment.)


(The "F" is for "Fun". This is a family blog.)




(Classic paparazzi moment.)




(Nom.)



(Aunt Rachel always understands.)




After everyone left, and we changed her out of her cupcake encrusted dress, she crawled into a chair and passed out. Always the sign of an excellent party.






Step 2: We see the doctor!
OK, this step in commemorating a first birthday isn’t as fun as step one. Everyone else gave Ava awesome books, clothes, and toys, but Ava had to use her fake “oh, what a great gift” face when the doctor presented her with the gift of SHOTS. (FYI, Ava needs a lot more practice on her “oh, what a great gift” face. It was an epic fail. Epic.)

I got my baby data fix. Ava continues to be 97th (+) percentile for height but her weight has crept up to about 60th percentile. Don’t suppose this had anything to do with it:



"Totally worth it! Om nom nom nom!!"
