Dear Ava, You're 15 months old today! How is this possible?

Today is your 15 month birthday!  I can't believe how fast time is passing.  You had her well-check visit today with your favorite doctor!  You weighed in at 23.5lbs, is 31 inches tall and you have a huge head!.. But that's always been true.  You have 11... ELEVEN teeth through!  The top four, bottom four, top and bottom molars on the left side and the top molar on the right side.  You're currently cutting the bottom one.  Dr. White said that you are talking on a 2 year old level at least.  You can say phrases like "I love you", "The book", "All done"... and can say at least 20+ words.  Every day is a new adventure and new learning experience for you.  I just LOVE that you are getting to the point that you can tell me if you want a drink or a banana... or that you just went "pee-pee".. haha!  You can also tell us where your belly is, and point to our nose, eyes and ears.  You're following simple commands like, "Raise your arms!"  Such a smarty pants!
Today, I can't help but to be even more thankful for you and your safety and health after all the lives lost in the recent disasters.  God has blessed us beyond words with our little "bug"...YOU!  We only hope to be the mommy and daddy that you deserve.  We love you so much more then you'll ever know!

Love,
Mommy :)
You L-O-V-E "Duck-de" (Ducky)!  You cuddle him every night and naptime!

You definitely were not going to hold this sign for me... That's okay, though!

Cuddling "Duck-de"

You love your play food and insist on dumping it out 12 times a day!

"Where's your belly?"

In all this world, there just isn't anything more precious and beautiful to us...
