my other sister is here now. along with her little man drake. he is 18 days older than ava. they do love each other because they are cousins. but sometimes they may not like each other. i have noticed that my little ava is not always so sweet. she is feisty. strong. and determined. and although i am glad my girl is strong like her momma. she can be a little bit of a bully too. we are working on the words be gentle. but we are loving watching our little babes interact and play. its a special time.
i am feeling good. tired but good. went to dr yesterday with ava and she is getting better. but not totally yet.
maybe she just wants to be a little sicky like her mom. but either way we are good and my sister becky is helping a lot. i do not realize how exhausted i am until i have someone here to help me. its nice to be able to relax a little bit and not run after ava all day. and nap time is dream time.
not much going on today. not that my heart is not full of stuff to share today. it is. but i am too tired.
so instead...
ava in her mommas hat. its precious. she love love loves to wear my hat. and i like that. not when she tries to grab it off my head in public. then i get a little embarrassed. but i do like that she wants to imitate me. because one day she may not want to be seen with me. so i will cherish this.

ReplyDeleteLib, I love the first pic of Ava. She looks like she's posing for you. She's precious! I'm glad she brings you joy and smiles...something to look forward to when everything else is a little tough. We are praying for you all often!
ReplyDeleteI'm new, and took your word for it by going back to the beginning. And I couldn't stop reading. You are an absolute rock in the world of brave. I have goosebumps all over. My fingers are crossed for you and I can't wait to hear your journey into good health.
ReplyDeleteYou love Ava so well I am sure she will always want to be seen with you! (Okay well maybe not always...but most of the time ;)
ReplyDeleteI'M catching up on some posts...I'm watching drake today...the boys are all asleep. Sounds like ava and bo would make a good pair. Poor drake gets so tired of bo screaming and rough housing him all day. By 5 that boy can't wait to see his daddy! That little ava is too cute! So happy that she gets to spend time with aunt beck and drake!
