Sweet Ava Mae is One!!

*Giant Sigh*  Yes, it's ALREADY been a year since sweet Ava Mae was born.  She is so sweet and happy.  She has brought so much joy into our lives.  Third time was a charm.  All of my babies are charms, of course, I'm talking about my mothering experience.  I guess it just gets easier each time and I have really enjoyed this little girl.
I have a confession.  Before Ava was born, I wasn't sure I could bond with a little girl like I did my boys.  Kind of like how you wonder how in the world you'll love your second child as much as your first.  bwwwwahahahahahaha.  It's comical now to think I ever thought that.  She is so much fun, little girls are awesome!
In fact, I love how my boys interact with her, such little gentlemen.  They have a sweet side that really shines when they interact with their baby sister.  They are the best big brothers.
Ava has the best personality.  She is sweet, sassy, and funny all at the same time.  She is really tough, good thing with these boys around.  She is so smart, she repeats so many words, the other night she said "accident" as plain as day, and said it twice, just so we'd know she did.  She just seems to understand so much, and is pretty much cooperative.  She transitioned into her bed so easily.  The last one, not so much...and even still not so much, so I love her for that.  She does so good at church and the fitness center nursery, so Mama doesn't feel guilty for leaving a crying baby.  She is super ecstatic and might give a cute whine when I return, just to let me know I was missed.
When I got pregnant with her, I wasn't happy about it because I wasn't ready just yet for another baby.  I knew the moment I got pregnant, yes, I do.  Too much information to go into detail about, but I do know this without a doubt.  I will never forget my pregnancy with her though, because is was during this time that I got real with myself concerning my relationship with God, and grew so much, physically, spirtually, and mentally.  So from the beginning, she has blessed my life.  I love her so much and am so happy to have a daughter.  She is pretty much amazing.  Happy Birthday my sweet girl, you are a blessing always!
