Long time, no post

So much has happened in such a short period of time.
I haven't even gotten the chance to post about my Grandmother's passing.
I feel so badly that I've neglected to report on all that Ava has been doing. How she is growing up.



Ava got her first bug. She had a fever of 103. We went to the doctor, she was given antibiotics. Ava weighed in at 18 lbs, 7 oz and 30 inches! WAHOO! She is growing!

Ava talks...a LOT! She won't stop talking most nights.
Last week she said all kinds of really awesome things.
She got in the car after daycare and asked "Where is Assion" (Assion= her BFF Addison).


The next day I asked Ava on the way to daycare "Would you like Daddy to pick you up early today?" Ava replies, "No".
On Thursday last week I ended up taking my friend Jackie to the hospital, but I went to pick up Ava before picking up my friend. So when I backed out of the daycare driveway, we went a different way and Ava asked, "Where we go?"
LOL The little girl may be small, but she sure is smart!

Tonight Ava said the best thing a mother could hear. I tell Ava I love her every night.
Tonight, very loud and clear she said, "I love you".

Life is so very very different. I love my family so very much. I love Phil and Ava and my dad more than anyone could know. I would do anything, within my means, for any of them.


I am so thankful I had the time I did with my mom, Grandmother and Fizz. Its so hard to comprehend everything that has happened. Life seems surreal sometimes. It feels like a dream or like I'm living in a bubble.
My husband is awesome. He cleaned the house today. Our house looks more normal. It doesn't look like a thrift store anymore.
This week I started going through all of the world calender pages I've kept since July 2009. I found a notebook so I've been writing down all of the dates that events have happened. Days when Ava first walked, when she stood up, what doctors she's seen, the dates she had appointments, and her weight. All kinds of fun stuff! I'm excited to be making a book for her to look back and see what she did at least her first two years, the dates she did stuff and when she hit certain mile stones.
I'm excited to get the book done. I've just gotten to the hardest month, February. February was not a good month for us.



Anyways....I just wanted to catch up a little bit so that I'm not slacking too badly. I'm excited to have such a wonderful beautiful little girl. I love her with all my heart. She consumes my world.
