Growing up is hard to do

After a crazy busy few weeks, I'm finally getting around to updating the world on Ava's birthday. We celebrated by taking Ava to the carousel at the mall and letting her ride until it closed. She came home with carousel stamps up and down both arms! She woke up that morning unsure of the concept of "birthdays" but now she gets it - at least the present part. She keeps asking if she can open more presents. The next day Mike's parents and sister arrived for the weekend and we had another little celebration. Much like last year, Ava doesn't seem much a fan of the Happy Birthday song, at least not when directed toward her.
