Ava's birthday



Our little stinker pot turned one on the 1st of December! We sang her happy birthday, gave her a cupcake, and she just cried and cried. When I took her in for her checkup a few days later, it was discovered that she had an ear infection. What a crummy birthday present.

This year has been the fastest of my life. Ava has seemed to grow up faster than any of the other kids. She's funny, cranky and chunky. She loves to be carried around, loves playing in cupboards, in the fridge, and on the dishwasher when I'm loading or unloading. She is very happy sitting in the bathroom sink while I blow dry my hair and put makeup on. Her siblings all love and adore her, and still think that everything she does is cute.

I call her my little stalker, because she manages to find her way back to me no matter who or what is trying to distract her. She started walking right around her birthday, and it's funny now to see her toddling around the house yelling, "MAM! MAM!" while she's looking for me. We sure love this little one.

What a sad face. I hate when my ears hurt but Larry won't let me cry.

Merry Christmas and lots of love to all of you! And THANK YOU for the awesome Christmas photo and letter. You all look very, very wonderful.
