Your First Subway Ride with Tha.

In the middle of the world famous *FAO Schwarz*

On this trip to New York for Na' Jon Jon's graduation, you went on your first plane ride. Which, by the way, I must say you did exceptionally well on. You didn't cry a single bit and actually slept through the whole flight. While we were there you were able to take your first ride in a subway (nothing like the NY Transit Authority), first cab ride, visit mommy's birthplace, go to the original Circles, meet up with some friends, and best of all you got to shop at the world famous FAO Schwarz. Naturally, Tha and Yai let you buy all the toys you could get your tiny hands on.

Congratulations Na' Jon Jon!

First Devil Rays Game

For a kid who just turned 1, you sure do get to go to a lot of cool places. Here you are at your first Tampa Bay Devil Rays game with your friends Yamile and Justyce.

First Easter Egg Hunt

Even though this is your second Easter. We decided to try doing an easter egg hunt inside the house. In order to motivate you to find more eggs around the house, we put Mickey stickers inside each egg. Mommy and Daddy know how much you love that mouse. So low and behold you found all 12 of them. Good Job Ava!

First Steps

You did it Ava. You finally took your first steps.

Happy 1st Birthday Ava

Happy Birthday Ava

Today we celebrated your birthday with all of your friends at Kidz Club. I can't believe how quickly a year has gone by. I wish you could stay this age forever. You are absolutely so much fun and every day you seem to amaze us with a new milestone that you have reached. You had such a wonderful time with all of your friends, singing songs, and doing fun activities. You weren't really into the cake all that much. Every time I would try to give you some, you would turn your head and push the spoon away. Was it that you weren't into the cake or you would rather play with all of the toys?

We love you!

Dinner with the Rodriguez's

Tonight we had dinner at Tha and Yai's restaurant, Circles South Tampa, with the Rodriguez family. Look at how much you and Ibi have grown in just a couple of months. Amazing.
