9 months

Oh Sweet Ava-Girl.




How can you possibly be 9 months old?


I want to change your name to Ava Joy because that is what you do...you bring J-O-Y to your mommy and daddy...and pretty much everyone you meet.

You are cruising the furniture like it is going out of style.


You got your first tooth on Grandma Bella's Birthday, August 13th.


You are starting to eat more foods, but prefer to self-feed. Some of your favorites are: garbanzo beans, cheese, tortillas, oatmeal with some cinnamon, and last night you gobbled up peas like they were chocolate chips!


You sing/squeal your way to sleep during the day.


You are so laid back. You just go with the flow. It is wonderful. It is refreshing.


You still are up once or twice at night, but just for a quick nursing (when will you give momma a b-r-e-a-k??)


Your brothers adore you. They drag you around the house. They make you belly laugh -- loudest, sweetest sound on earth!


Ava Shannon Best -- you have changed our lives. You have added so much J*O*Y to our souls...like, down deep, so far down deep that it hurts. Every day your personality shines more and more...and every day we love you more and more.


You are our precious daughter and we thank God for the gift that is YOU!!
