Ava continues to learn new words and likes to talk. I think that's from her mother. But the big news from the past week is she has started walking! Over the past months she had been taking 5-6 steps here and there when coaxed and surfing around, walking behind her toys, walking while holding one of our hands, etc but last week decided to walk on her own. She is a cautious little girl most of the time but decided it is now time to walk. Here's a short video clip of one of her trips!

Linda has been well. Our video is being used at many of the Mr/Ms High School pageant events (for example, Mr. CV) to raise money for Children's Miracle Network. We attended the Mr. Irish (Sheldon High School in Eugene) event (Linda gave a short speech) and saw some amazingly talented high schoolers. Ava was very well behaved and sat with us watching the talent. Last year these events raised about $350K for CMN which is pretty amazing and cool that all is not lost on the youth of today as many would have us believe. :)
We'll be at Thurston High School this Saturday night and I think at Crescent Valley in April. One of the DJs in Eugene is also using the video for CMN fundraisers at school dances.
Happy One and a Half Birthday to our Sweet Ava. Here are a couple recent photos:
Meeting one of the lambs at our friends the Whitakers. No comment on what was served for dinner that night.
Not sure who's daughter this is... Did she pick up this habit from Daddy or Brother Austin?!
