My How Ava Has Grown


It only seems like yesterday my little Ava was born. Sometimes I think how quickly the last 4 1/2 years have flown, and where has the time gone. Was it such a short time ago I was changing her diaper and feeding her a bottle. I remember when she was learning to walk and barely saying words. I thought Ava would never learn to talk or sleep in a big girl bed for the entire night by herself. The thought of taking her "binkie" away, or potty training seemed like such a big task. Just the other night I went in to her room before I went to bed and I looked over her and I couldn't believe how much she looked like a little girl and no longer a baby or a toddler. Often I find myself watching her playing and learning and I think to myself, there will never be another time period more precious than right now. A part of me is so excited and I think how much we have to look foward to. But a big part of me is sad because my "first" is growing way to fast.....
