Ava's 12 Months Portraits

Our baby bumble bee

She goes catatonic when she wears this costume

This one is one of my favorites

" If you are happy and you know it clap your hands"

Her favorite thing to do right now is clap

She knows she is precious

Big girl!

These are the raw footage from Ava's 12 month portraits. Dukes came down to visit again this weekend and was so helpful at the photo shoot. It is so difficult to photograph a toddler! We ended up liking so many of the shots that Dukes ended up buying 6 of the poses for us. Grandma just loves to spoil us. The dress Ava is wearing was given by her God Parents Justin and Jessica Valdez for her birthday. Her Halloween costume was a gift from Dukes. It is a bit large so Ava becomes lathargic when she wears it. She's got to tough it out though because I have never seen a cuter bumble bee in my life! You can download the pictures from our blog or just email me if you would like a copy sent to you of any particular pose. The majority of the readers will be receiving a paper copy soon :). Greg comes home tomorrow from Key West and we are going to surprise him with the pictures (shhhhhhhhhhhhh)!

First Pumpkin Patch

Ava with about 1/4 of the meetup group (Too big for all the babies to be in one picture). We also realized it is impossible to photograph a group of babies. She tried to move the pumpkin it was so funny.

She liked to rip the tops off the pumpkins

Her buddy Tristan. They look like brother and sister!

So stinking cute

We went on a hay ride but it got super windy!

She is not quite sure what to think of this hayride

sweet little Alex

Our group was only on this hayride so it was a bit chaotic

She was not sure what to think of this turkey

Checking out the farm animals

Hay time!

My little pumpkin

She thought it was strange to be crawling around in the hay

She didn't like it at first but got used to it

The boys playing in the coach

She loved the ducks

Great day with our play group!

Another fun meetup

This toy was the Hit of the day

Ava would stayed close to the fun block the majority of the meetup

We had a great time at Rita's house this week for a coffee meetup. Ava took an extended nap that afternoon because the kids really wore her out.
