Ava's birthday weekend!!!



Baby Ava turned one year old on Saturday, September 12.  We celebrated by giving Ava an Ava-centric day full of everything Ava loves.

After an early morning of playing, Ava went down her for morning nap and Jameson helped me make Ava's "cake" - chocolate chip banana bread cupcakes.

Homemade vanilla cream cheese frosting.  Jameson had a blast picking out the sprinkles and colors.

 

"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you...."

Big brother Jameson helping Ava blow out her candle.

Yummy and oh so ooey-gooey!

Ava got a lot of fun birthday gifts from family members, but Jameson's gift was super cute.  He has been wanting Ava to brush her teeth for a while now and we kept telling him we'd wait until she was one.  So, his birthday gift to her was a toothbrush and toothpaste.  He insisted on helping her brush her teeth immediately after opening it!  In the picture, he's instructing her to open wide.

I guess she's loving the gum massage...hehe.

Look at them both smiling!!!

Lunch out on the patio.

Post-nap fun at the pool. 

Ava loves to walk around in her floatie.
Post-birthday Sunday Packer football. First game of the season - woohoo!  Final score Packers 31 - Bears 23.  Go Pack Go!!

Ava's just a little wiped out from her birthday bash the day before, huh :)
