Ava's first birthday pictures

Hooray- we finally got them! The photo session went ok. Ava wasn't her usual happy self so we only got about 2 GREAT ones and the rest were just ok. Hope you enjoy :)

Funny story: Ava WON'T walk. She stands and is stable and we know she could walk if she wanted to, but she refuses. So right in the middle of the photo shoot- she is standing on the backdrop and I am behind the photographer and.......... she starts walking. Seriously she walked liked she had been doing in for months. Luckily the photog snapped the picture just in time so we got in documented because she STILL won't walk at home!!





Mindi said I couldn't buy this one because of how she is sitting, but I still think it is funny!





Doesn't she look happy in this one!?



I think that this one is super great. It is so sweet.













This is classic. Seriously- look at her face. Doesn't she look like she is doing it totally on purpose!





Ava has started doing this cutest thing with her hands outstretched when she wants something. Needless to say- I usually give it to her because she looks so cute with her hand out like that and looking down at them. Now if we can just get her to say please!

Super cute pictures! Addison is the same way- happy at home, terrible at getting her picture taken! I think they turned out adorable though!

Katy! She is SOOOO cute! I think the pictures turned out great. Rylee is the same with picture taking. Whenever we take her to a studio she is the anti-smile girl. Congrats on Ava's first steps! The picture capture is perfect.

Hey, for the picture collage you just need to download (free) Picasa by Google. You put all your pictures in, make collages, and then you can automatically insert it into your blog. Super easy!! Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey Katy!!!

What a darling little girl you have! I love the pictures, and how fun that she is "almost" walking:O) Don't tell me she still loves baby food however...I don't know what I'll do if Eliza lasts that long.

Oh those pictures are adorable!! Your pictures turned out great! She is too cute! Lawson has been the same way about walking, he can stand and he takes some steps every once in a while but he just wont take the plunge! But that is soo cute that you got a picture of her taking her "first steps" I love it.!

Soooo Cute!! I love that green top!! She is such a stinker to tease you w/ the walking. She will come around any day I am sure. That is so fun that you got it in a picture though!
