Happy 1st Birthday Doodlebug!!

Our baby is 1 year old today! We can't believe that just one year ago I was in labor all day trying to bring this little blessing into the world. It feels like yesterday and it was the happiest day of our lives. I can't imagine life being any sweeter.

We had a big blow up pool party at our house with all of Ava's little friends, mommy and daddy's friends and families. Ava was quite the little hostess. She went from pool to pool to visit with all of her guests. We had burgers and hot dogs and po
or Steve stood over the grill in the scorching heat, what a Dad! Even Biscuit and Magnum had their swimsuits on and their own baby pool :)

Ava received so many wonderful gifts from her friends and family. She just loved her toys and wanted to stop opening presents to play with each toy she opened. A little while into opening her toys she decided she was tired and wanted to nurse. Everyone got a kick out of her because she started saying "booo, booo" and doing the "more" sign to me like come on mom it's nap time. I was so embarrassed but couldn't help giggling at he
r too, what a smart girl! We got her a bottle and decided it was cake time. So we did the cake thing and everyone sung happy birthday to her but she had no interest in her cake, all she cared about was her bottle. T
he great thing is we were able to skype in Gigi & Papi from California so that they could see everything. It was like they were here with her. Technology is amazing.

When she was opening her gifts she got an Elmo couch from grandad and grandmother and all of the kids went nuts. Sara said Elmo is like Baby Crack, they all freak out when Elmo appears. Too funny.

I will post more pictures later but in the mean time here are a couple of the doodle at her very 1st Birthday!
