I sure wish it wasn't so hot in Kansas City so I could go outside and play.

Can you tell I'm teething???? My shirt is drenched!


Pretty in pink

Only 2 teeth, but I can still eat Grandpa Mannetter's sweetcorn!


As the box says...hours of fun.


My Dora chair is sooo comfy!

For those of you who haven't heard this story yet, Ava picked up the keys one evening, walked down the sidewalk, and tried getting the mail herself. This after a year of doing it with Mommy every night - amazing!


Back home, playing with my new toys


Thanks everyone for coming to my party


What the heck, we'll just strip you down and have the Grandmas wash you up!


Time to clean up


What a fun birthday party!


Because she didn't stay clean for long!


Remember this...

Celebrating with Dora


Getting a ride from Grandpa in my new wagon


Madox wants in on the action too


Ava wants to help too!

Gavin was a big help!


Daddy, do you think I can fit this WHOLE golfball in my mouth!?

Playing with the dollie


I may need a nap before presents


So many people came to see me!


They look innocent now...looks like trouble in a few years!


3 little munchkins playing in the chairs Great-Grandma Norem got them

Ava is 1 year old today!


Hauling a load


Ava loves to play in Grandpa's hat!

Yes, again with the bat. But this time, Ava is a cowgirl!

So ladylike...crawling up the stairs, in a skirt, with a bat in each hand. She won't put her bats down - they are her favorite!

Ava loves to get 'trapped' in places when she plays chase


All cleaned up, ready to go


A popsicle, and now ice cream...why have you guys held out on me for so long!

Splish, splash

My favorite place to hide when we play chase

Celebrating the 4th of July


Sun, sugar and a swing...what else does a kid need?!


Yum, this is pretty good.


My first popsicle!


Lots of stars and stripes today!

Ready for my first day at Kristin's daycare!

I've had lots of fun playing with my buddy Reece


Last day at Ms. Kim's - it was a great first year!
