Beach Bum

Our baby loves the beach! In the first picture, she is collecting seashells, which didn't last long. She was completely drawn to the water. We took her in for a while and when it was time to go, Paul had to pry her out of the water, which mom captured in the second picture. Another of her favorite beach activities was chasing the seagulls. That's what she was doing in the third picture. Much fun, but very exhausting for mom and dad.

A Day at the Park

This is the first picture that I really noticed my little girl doesn't look so little anymore. She was playing at the park and having a jolly time all by herself. She didn't need mommy!

Self Feeding Fun

Ava has been really ambitious about feeding herself. She loves using spoons and forks. This was our first attempt at letting her try it. She was eating yogurt and doing so well. I walked out of the room and assumed Paul was watching her, but obviously he wasn't. She decided to have fun and play with her yogurt and we got a good laugh and some good pictures.
