How did this happen?


My baby is getting OLD! I can't believe Ava is already 9 1/2 months old. I don't know where the time went, but it seems like we brought her home yesterday. I can't imagine having a better baby. She has always been an AMAZING sleeper. She has woken up in the night maybe 7 or 8 times since we brought her home. She now has two top teeth along with her two bottom teeth. She has always been content to just watch and is just now starting to push up on her hands and knees. She will probably be a late walker, which is completely fine by me. I want her to stay little as long as possible. Even through teething and a nasty ear infection, she still has a smile on her face most of the time.


It is bitter sweet to know that this is most likely the last time I will have a baby. I get sad when I think of never again experiencing a new child or having a newborn, but I am so looking forward to raising the kids I already have and getting them all to a point where they are self-sufficient and IN SCHOOL. I love them though, and I wouldn't have it any other way!

My boys had fun with Andrew and Noah too. They play well together. Maybe while the older ones are in school, we'll get the other two together. Great blog, by the way. I never write very much on mine, so it's fun to read everyone else's. Talk to ya soon!

She is so beautiful, Natalie. I think that she looks a lot like you.
It is sad that the younger ones seem to grow up so much quicker!

I'm with Dan Rascone when I say that she is a gorgeous child!
