Happy Birthday Ava!

Ava is one!
She is walking, climbing, pushing, pulling...you name it.
She says a few words (only a couple recognizable to the outside population) ball, drake, puppy, mommy, daddy... and a repeated babble that sounds the same everyday that we can't decipher. Can't wait to figure out what she has been trying to tell us for weeks!
She has her two bottom teeth and one lone tooth we call "the scraggle" on the top!
We took her to her 1 year check up and she is about 23 lbs (60 percentile)
Height is 32" 95th percentile
And head size is of course still huge...99th percentile..she's very smart!

We celebrated her birthday with both sides of the family at Papa and Grandma Schueller's.
Here is her cake and the one she has all to herself to mush up!


She was sporting the ever so cute birthday girl shirt that Aunt Shannon got for her!


We managed to get some people to wear the very fashionable party hats, some not by choice (Sheldon, smile!).

Ava is so lucky to have so much great family to help her celebrate. Here are the great grandparents telling stories!


Kale and Jake were described as "The Match" and "Gasoline" at the party. They tend to really get each other going. They made gift opening quite the whirlwind. By the end of it I wasn't sure what came from where..phew!




She got LOTS of clothes! She is one well taken care of little girl! Thanks everyone!

CAN NOT believe its been a year since we welcomed our little girl into our lives. Although, I can hardly remember what it was like without her! We love you, Ava Grace!
