Happy Birthday Ava!

My little girl turned one today! I can't believe it! She's so spunky...lots of personality. She tries to say lots of words...sometimes she succeeds. She can stand but hasn't taken any steps yet. She loves her brother, son shine school, avocado, grapes, cheese, playing in Chase's room, climbing steps, watching baby einstein movies, etc. She has a temper when she doesn't get her way. She's finally getting enough hair to put a little clip in.

Here she is eating her birthday pancakes this morning. :)
This evening we took a fun bike ride.
A few days ago in Houston we had a little birthday party for Ava and Chase.
Hey this is not bad!
I think I'll have a little more.
mmmmm!
Yes, I definitely like birthday cake!
No, those messy fingers may not touch your new present!
Chase already had a birthday party a few weeks ago but don't worry he still enjoyed being the center of attention again....oh and the cake too.
And opening presents is always fun!
Here is a picture of Ava one year ago today....I think her looks have improved over time.
Also I thought you might like to see a comparison picture of Chase and Ava both eating their 1st birthday cake. (First: Ava July 2009; Second: Chase July 2006)

Seriously- I cannot believe how much Chase and Ava look alike. Unbelieveable. Happy 1st b-day Ava.
