We're a perfect pair

One of my favorite songs from Ava's Jewel Lullaby cd has those words in it and every time I hear it I think of Ava and I. It is such a sweet song and I'd like to think that Ava and I make the perfect pair. I hate to be away from my little angel for too long and it seems that she doesn't like to be away from me either. Saturday was a busy day of running errands while Ava stayed home with Dad. I was in and out all day but never really got to play or interact with Ava as much as I normally do. When I returned home from one of my last outings I was greeted at the door by my sweet baby, husband, and doggy all waiting at the door for me. The instant Ava saw me she started to smile and kick her legs and when I grabbed her in my arms she just beamed even more and was kicking her legs so hard with excitement. It was the best feeling ever to get that kind of reaction from her. Normally we are joined at the hip but today was just one of those days that I took advantage of the opportunity to get out alone. It's amazing how much quicker my errands go and how much lighter I feel not having to carry her or the heavy diaper bag around! Seeing Ava's reaction as I came home almost brought tears to my eyes. Cheesy I know, but it totally confirmend how much she loves me even though she can't tell me.

Mikey has been so good at taking pictures of Ava and I recently so here are a few from this week.

This was when I came home from my errands on Saturday. Thankfully the camera was nearby, as it always is, to snap a picture of the two of us beaming with happiness. We missed each other!

I think I already have a princess in the making. She loves holding this wand. I actually think she forgets she is holding it sometimes because it is in that tight grip of hers.

Mommy and her princess

One of the few times I get to really snuggle with her anymore is when she falls asleep after I nurse her for the last time.

First time wearing jeans! They look cute on her but they sure don't look comfortable for a baby.

I found Macy laying outside Ava's door while she was napping. I think she is starting to warm up to her "sister".
