She's walking! She's walking! Well, not in this picture but just as soon as I took this picture she stood up and walked around the deck! This is our precious little Ava Grace at just over 13 months old! We saw her Christmas Eve a month ago and she was still crawling. Her parents say she's been walking for about two weeks now. Let me tell you there's nothing cuter than a walking wobbly baby! Ava Grace is the light of our lives; she is our pride and joy and the most well adjusted, happy and most beautiful baby I've ever known! Of course I might be just a bit biased because for all tense and purposes I consider her my grand baby! One look from her beautiful sparkling blue eyes, one smile from her sweet little face, one squeal and kiss from her and you can't help but feel as if you're floating on a cloud. She is exceptional partly due to an amazing linage of genetics, but mostly due her loving and dotting parents. For two so young - I've never seen better parents. I've come to learn that it's not age nor experience but the quality and quantity of love that make a happy baby and a happy baby makes for a very happy family! Stay tuned....more of Ava G to come as the days, months and years fly by.

Postwork by Marshall - the one really responsible for Ava Grace's presence in our lives. I was so excited to fnd out/know that she was walking I didn't check the settings on the Rebel before I began shooting. The white balance was set to "tungsten" - the photo had a blue sepia/tinge to it and I was about ready to delete it when Marshall stopped me and worked his magic in photoshop....:) Thank you for stopping by. Make it a great day!
