Have you had enough adorableness yet?

In mid-July we traveled to Fort Bragg and Mendocino for a friend's wedding. We had a great time. (Mama was even a bit hungover the next day, as it was her first time drinking since the end of nursing!)

Ava with Erin, the glowing bride. They're both so purdy!


The day after the wedding, we rode the Skunk Train with Heidi and Mike. Ava liked the train a lot, but the rocking was just too much for her and she took 2 naps. It was heaven. :)

Ava likes to party, too.

That's Rowan at her and Tatum's birthday party, Ava stuffing a chocolate cupcake in her mouth at Rowan & Tatum's birthday party and Sylvia diving face first into her cupcake at her birthday. Yes, this was two first birthday parties on the same day! Madness!

Ava loves the water now...

Some of these are a bit old... the two of Andy and Ava are from yesterday.

What gives?

I don't like the way blogger/flicker are messing with the photo size... I'm going to keep trying...

Trying again, from flickr.

Ava couldn't get enough of my measuring tape. Maybe she'll be a tailor when she grows up.

Ava ripping apart my peat pots.

I'm posting this directly from flickr just to see how it works. I'm not sure I like it yet... seems like you can only do 1 photo per post. Hmmm.

Ava eats dirt.

Trying this a different way, still through flickr.

OMG, it's been a month.

That's ridiculous and inexcusable. I have tons of photos to upload, and maybe not all of them will have captions. Sorry.
