Off and Running

We had a wonderful time celebrating the babies birthdays in Virginia.  It was so nice to see everyone.  Ava enjoyed playing with all of her little buddies but had completely exhausted herself  just in time for the birthday party.  It took awhile, but by the end of the party we were finally able to get a picture of the four kiddos all together.
On Friday, we visited our old schools and then went to Brien and Rhonda's house for dinner.  While we were there Ava decided that she was ready to start walking.  She only took a few steps that night, but by Sunday she was officially a walker!  Every time Ava plays with her friend Lucas she learns something new.  The first time Lucas came to visit us Ava starting sitting up on her own, the second time she starting crawling, and this past time she started walking.  I can't wait to see what she learns to do the next time we see Lucas and his family!
We went out yesterday and bought Ava her first sneakers.  She's pretty proud of herself!  As soon as she got those sneakers on her feet she took off!  She went all around the store and tried cruising out into the mall.  She also picked out a pair of sandals that she really wanted for our upcoming vacation.  We visited the Easter Bunny while we were at the mall and Ava tried her first milkshake.  She was one happy girl!
