Ava's Thirteenth Month

This was another big month for Ava!  She had her first birthday party (complete with emotional high chair meltdown during the happy birthday song), enjoyed a family vacation on the coast, and adjusted to her first day at a new school.

To top things off, while the rest of the country was buried in snow, the sun came out in Portland and we visited the zoo.  Ava petted a few goats, growled at the cougar, made chimp noises when she saw the Mandrills, and looked appropriately freaked out when she came face-to-face with a real elephant.  Looks like she'd make it out there in the wild.
