9 months old!

Oh my goodness, somebody slow down the clock! Ava Joy is 9 months old! Well actually will be 10 months next month, but I just got her 9 month pics back! :) So I wanted to share them with you all. 

So this lovely strand of pearls was the only thing to keep baby happy during photo's that happened during nap time...but I think they add such a beautiful feminine touch :)

 She wanted NOTHING to do with a headband! No dressing up guys! haha. I love this because this is exactly how she is...headbands, socks, and shoes all come right off!

 So pretty all dressed up, but I love her serious look as she takes the head band off haha

 This is *by far* one of my favorite ones!! This is her favorite book (A Night Night Prayer) and she loved reading it in a suitcase :)

 Love those tip-toes :)

 A smile!!! Look at those toofers!!! Pretty much the only *real* smile we got haha

 Look at those lips. "Mom, please can we be done?"

 Her face looks kinda silly, because she is talking, but look at that cute little foot!! Such a character this girl. She is always propping her foot on whatever she is sitting next to. Including, Bella, Dad, toys, anything...

 Hmmmm.... nope, not going to smile ;)

Daddy had such a fun idea of stacking them up and getting a pic before they fell! And I love that the little bird is on the "o" because we call her our little bird :)

 Couldn't pick which color choice I liked better so I'm showing you all both... lol

 A smile for Daddy sneezing! Always has a smile for her Daddy.

 And this hat was just too much fun to not put on her! She was not as impressed, but I think the pouty look adds a little something to the hat! haha

 Catch me if you can! Pretty much how the shoot went! Crawled out of and all over everything :) Such a big girl! But I love her toes all stretched out :)

 Always for her Daddy. I hope that never changes.

 Our little beauty...

Thanks everyone! I hope you enjoyed them as much as we do!! We are so proud of her and all that she is doing! She will be 10 months next Thur and she is now standing up on her own walking the furniture, and is full of giggles and squawks and all the girly sounds! She is climbing and crawling all over everything! She never goes around anything, it is always over! Including the dog. She is such a character! We couldn't possibly love her any more. And couldn't possibly be any prouder of her!!!
