6 Months!

I keep a journal, scrapbook, an calendar of Ava's milestones, but have always wanted to add to this family blog I started a few years ago. Just another way to keep important memories for her to read one day.

I still can't believe my little girl is 6 months old! It seems like yesterday I was holding my 7 lb 11 oz little miracle. I'm not going to lie, being a parent has been the hardest thing I have ever done. After work I am more exhausted than I have ever been in my life. Back in the day nothing would have stopped me from going straight home, into a hot bath, and straight to bed. Today, the minute I walk into the house on Kiowa Lane and see Ava's face light up when my eyes meet her BIG baby blues, the sleepless night no longer exists, the little darling first grader who tested my patience ALL day not longer weighs on my mind. All I want to do is hold her and take her home so I can make her smile until her little head hits the mattress of her crib and I can see her little grin through the dark when she awakes the next morning. Each day brings more blessings and surprises. Shaun and I are so amazed and proud of Ava each and everyday. I could go on and on, but I think I will just start by adding some pictures and a few words to get this blog moving in the right direction. I may be back tracking a bit in the beginning, so stay tuned...
