children grow older

i've been sitting at the computer doing some writing and listening to ava babble in her bed, (most assuredly NOT napping) knowing that this is how she'll look when and if i go to get her...absolutely perfect, and NOT like a baby but like a little girl.  i LOVE this face with an intensity that surprises me.  i love when she puts her arms around my neck and when she (more rarely now) moves in to give me open mouthed kisses.  i can't get over the fact that this is a little person.  a little person who doesn't speak words yet but understands, no problem.  a little person with a big personality, a little person with a huge destiny, a little person who's absolute perfectness and amazingness stuns me sometimes.

  2. She is SO wonderfully cute. However, someone needs to talk to her about not taking advantages of these naps. I would LOVE a nap right now, but no one offers them to me anymore. So tell Ava that she needs to nap so that her Aunt-by-association can live vicariously through her napping.
