Update on Ava

Since Ava is now 13 months old, I guess it's about time I post her one year stats. At her one year check-up, she weighed 18 lbs. 5 oz. (10%) and was 30 in. (75%) long. She is doing really great. She has definitely caught up and doesn't look like a preemie anymore!

Other big news is that Ava started walking this week. She has been taking a couple steps at a time for a few weeks now, but this week she has taken off. She can take 10+ steps in a row. It won't be long before we are running after her trying to keep up. Of course, like everything else, she does not like to walk for other people. I don't think anyone believes us when we say Ava is doing something new. It's usually another month before she will show off her new "trick".

About a month ago, Ava also started going to Gymboree and taking swimming lessons. She still isn't too sure about the gym, but she loves swimming! She even "swims" under water and it doesn't seem to bother her. We can't wait to start taking her to the pool this summer. She is at such a fun age!!

I know most people only visit here for the pictures, so I'll post a few. I feel the need to explain them though. A couple nights ago, Ava threw up while eating dinner. We stripped her down and cleaned her up, but she was still acting a little hungry. We put her back in her high chair (without the tray) and she was definitely relaxing while she enjoyed a few cheerios.
