She pulled herself up to standing in her pack 'n' play on Feb. 11. This photo was literally the first time she did it, and she's just standing there, holding on with one hand like she's always been able to stand.
Andy's former contact at Chicago Public Radio, now current co-worker at StreamGuys, came out to visit. We had Shiow over for dinner and she and Ava got on famously.
Andy thinks Ava is the "Jimi Hendrix of the kiddie keyboard." She's playing it with her mouth.
On the morning of Valentine's Day, we went to the Humboldt Poultry Fanciers' Winter Show. She seemed to appreciate all the birds (except the crazy loud geese) as long as she didn't have to touch them, as seen here. 
In the evening on Valentine's Day, we attended the first birthday party of Ava's buddy, Susannah. She's just about to dig into the cute frog cupcake that her mom, Kathryn, made.
Our friends April and Larry came to visit last weekend, too. This is Ava and April at Susannah's party. It was great to see them, even if it was a short visit--this was the first time they met Ava and Susannah!After Susannah's party, we relocated to Kristen & Shawn's for Zeke's surprise birthday party, complete with poetry slam. There's video of one of the performances, but we'll let Zeke post that.
I don't know what we have planned for this weekend, but it had better include several naps for all 3 of us. Seriously.

Wow, it's really beginning to take shape! Looking good!
Lookit the veggies in mah teeth! I was saving 'em fer laterz.
Nice to see pics of the Humboldt gang, including the two youngest ones! I realized it has been four years since I last made it up there, much too long. To be fair over half of that time I was in exile in desert, but now that I'm back inthe state I feel a visit coming on! I hope to see the bungalow in all its glory!
