Ava took a couple of baby steps yesterday, but today she walked! She walked at least 5 or 6 steps at a time (sometimes less), and we encouraged her by sitting on the floor and having her walk between us. Each time, she hobbled back and forth, smiled and leaned a little too far forward and fell into us. We gave her a hug, patted her on the back (she patted us back) and she turned around for more. She was really proud of herself, and we were proud of her, too. We set up our camera to capture a few of her mid-stride strolls.

Yeah!!! What a BIG girl! So neat how she walked between you and leaned/fell into you...so sweet. It sounds like she is truly so happy...and trusting...She is such an incredibly lucky little girl...you two couldn't be better parents for Ava. She is truly a gift....and you two a gift to her.
These are such special moments...

Ok... you guys are a little scary with the camera... I gotta say. But how fabulous that she is walking! :) And so darn proud of it - look at that smile on her face. Wish I could remember what it felt like to take my first steps. Freedom at last. You GO, Ava!

Hey little munchkin! Look at you GO! Now you will be burning up the floors and your parents will be burning up the calories chasing you! (Scott, this means you can eat more cheese and crackers! YEAH!) I must say, this whole tofu thing is grossing me out. I mean COME ON! We live in WISCONSIN! Has that girl had a brat yet? (Maybe for her birthday?)
:0)
Has anyone else noticed that Ava hasn't worn the same thing twice?
That girl is stylin'!
Hope to see you all soon!
