8 Months

Dear Ava,
I can't believe that I gave birth to you 8 months ago- you are growing up so fast. You still continue to amaze me. You have such a wonderful personality, and the older you get the more your personality is coming through. You are so easy going, gentle and an extremely happy baby. You are doing more and more lately and it is obvious from your huge smiles that you are very proud of your new discoveries.

I love how you have learned to clap. When you clap you always have this huge grin on your face!
I love how you think sneezing is hysterical
I love how you are so determined to crawl- you will figure it out soon:)
I love how you nestle your head in my shoulder and bounce up and down- I like to think it is your way of hugging me.
I love how you cuddle with me in the rocking chair and smile each time i bend down to kiss you.
I love how you get so excited to see daddy when he comes home from work.
I love how you run around the house in your walker, and will chase after me.
I love how you look so peaceful when you sleep.
I love how you like to sing, and will sing yourself to sleep
I love how excited you are to see me when you wake up in the morning.
I love how inquisitive you are.
I love everything about you, I love you.
I love you more than I ever thought I could love. Happy 8 month birthday Ava!
Love,
Mommy
