One

Ava turned one three months ago! I have some really cute pictures of her in a dress Miguel's family sent us from Spain. She is sooooo busy! She plays in the toilets, climbs on the table (dumps out the cereals, etc), dumps out the garbages, empties my cupboards, turns off the computer while I'm using it, eats crayons, rips the kids homework, it goes on and on. She does what all my other kids combined did at this age times ten! (playing in the toilet is new, even for us!) All this notwithstanding, we are enjoying her to bits. At least she has a sweet temperament while she is destroying the house. If I tell her no, she actually acts like she cares. (this is new) :) She is wild for books, though she will only sit still for a minute. I have to read them with lots of entertaining noises or be really quick about it! She is a sweet, busy girl! We sure love her.
