Memorial Day Weekend Adventures -2009!






Ava & Charli - BFF's!!






MMmmm, yogurt!!




















We had a very busy weekend ! On Saturday we had a Baptism party to attend for baby Greg Smith. It was a nice afternoon hanging out with friends and Ava had a chance to play with her BFF Charli again. She had a great time watching the other kids play and spent most of her time cruising around the living room. She is getting faster and braver everyday!














After the Baptism party, we headed over to Jersey to spend the evening with my family celebrating my nephew Bailey's 11th birthday! Man, I feel old! It was a great time and Ava got to see her favorite cousins and see her aunts and uncles. She loved playing ball with Tristan and giving her twin cousins, Anthony and Nicholas, great big hugs! We stayed for pizza and cake and then headed home to get some much needed sleep! She was B-E-A-T!!











On Memorial Day we went to a BBQ at our friends Jenny & Bill's house. Ava wasn't having the best day unfortunately. She was very fussy and running a low grade fever. We think it may be teeth. Or at least we hope. Poor baby was just sick last week with a tummy bug and has just recovered! Needless to say we didn't stay very long and ended up going home early to have some down time before bed. Mommy and Daddy are back at work on Tuesday so that means getting up early again to get to Aunt Nicole's house in the morning! But even though she wasn't feeling her best, she sure did look stinking cute in her patriotic dress and pigtails!!

My 1st Official Blog




Well, after seeing some of my "mommy" friends post some wonderful blogs filled with great photos and stories of their fun filled days with their little ones, I have decided to take the plunge and join them! This will give our friends and family a chance to read about all of our adventures as a family and to hear updates on Ava's growth and development. Most of you know that we have many busy days filled with therapy, medical appointments, and numerous testings to keep Ava healthy and thriving. This blog will give me the opportunity to keep you all involved in her daily life and activities. I look forward to adding more fun blogs along the way and some recent photos of our little Butters. We are so so proud of her and all of her recent milestones! We look forward to having you follow us on our journey of watching her blossom into a beautiful, happy, and healthy toddler! Thanks for reading and keep checking back for more posts!!
