Just Chill'n

Ava's 1st store temper tantrum was with Grandma Betty over the sunglasses she now owns. Ava loves her sunglasses so much that she smiles every time I show them to her. She wears her sunglasses in the car, in the house, on walks, to the beach, gardening, while jumping on the deck. She would wear them 24/7 if I let her!

Ava's 1st Easter

Day at the Park

Today we took Ava to the park to feed the birds. Little did I know how fast word would get out that we had food! Pigeons, seagulls, ducks, Oh my!! Ava was in awe with what she saw. I was just praying I wouldn't get pooped on!

Ava LOVES swinging!

A Weekend Without Ava

On December 8th, Jacobe and I spent the weekend in San Francisco WITHOUT Ava! It was wonderful! We were able to catch up on much needed sleep, do some Christmas shopping and enjoy the nightlife with our friends!

Having lunch with Grandma and Grandpa before the big hand off...














Enjoying dinner at Andula with our friends...














Almost falling off the cable car after a few cocktails....















China Town- One of our favorite places in San Francisco!

Ava & Santa

Ava met Santa for the 1st time today. She loved him! I made sure she told Santa that Mommy wants a spa day at the Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay!

Yummy!

Ava waiting in anticipation for her first taste of real food.... Avocado mixed with breast milk! Delicious! Eat up, Ava!
Yummy!!

The Adventure of Ava's 1st Christmas Tree

Jacobe in search of the perfect Christmas tree....
Ava and I wanted the "Charlie Brown tree" on the left but daddy said "No way! You've got to be kidding!?!" After all the searching.... we settled on a pre-cut Noble Fir from Northern Oregon at the local nursery. Daddy wins again!

Date with Daddy

After dinner at Cafe Palomar, Jacobe took Ava to her 1st lighted boat parade at the Santa Cruz Harbor. They met up with Ava's best friend, Hayes and his dad Josh.

Ava is Thankful for....

My Uncle Brian... My Mom and Dad...
My Grandpa and Grandma...

My Auntie Stacey...... and of course the turkey!

A Walk on the Beach

We love having the beach as our backyard. We never know what we will come across when we go on walks.

Ava's 1st Day at Day Care

Having spent the last 5 months at home with Ava, I enrolled her in daycare a month before I went back to work to get used to not having her with me all day. I was so worried about her, I made Ava wear her "I Love Milk" beanie so they wouldn't forgot to feed her. Needless to say, Ava loved daycare and I LOVED the time to my self!!

Here Comes Trouble!

After many shopping excursions, walks and pedicures together with their moms, Ava and Ellery finally took notice of eachother and became fast friends. Here comes trouble!

Jump, Ava, Jump!

Ava in her new jumper! She loves it!!
