Yes, it's true. Ava is finally pulling herself to standing and cruising around the furniture (very slowly). It's fun to watch her discover what she can do and to watch her discover the world around her. I have to say; however, that I'm kind of emotional about it all. She has grown up so fast, and I feel like I've missed her babyhood. I have been here the entire time, of course, but I can not believe how fast the time has flown. It seems like I brought her home literally yesterday. I am really struggling with her growing up much more than I did with the other kids. For some reason, because I know I probably won't have any more kids, dealing with these little milestones has been a challenge. The idea of never having my own newborn in my arms again is really sad. When I experience that sad feeling, I should probably just think of pregnancy, and the horrible nightmare that it is. It's amazing! That sadness immediately vanished!

I know I say this in every post about Ava, but that is one beautiful baby!!
I agree with Jen! She has the most beautiful coloring.
Just call your miserable sister (my pants are fitting like sausage casings these days) and you'll be over any misery or sadness you may feel instantly. That's the other trick I know of.
She is beautiful, I just can't figure out if she looks more like you or Brian.
And, if it's difficult to remember the downside of pregnancy, it's pretty fresh on my mind these days, so I'd be happy to remind you!
