dear ava,


tonight you had tons of fun looking like a bag lady and jumping from the couch into my arms. i sewed you the yellow coat and you loved it (which is wonderful because you're becoming increasingly difficult to impress in the clothing area) and wouldn't take it off. then you added a hat and boy, were you set. daddy and i were rolling on the floor laughing at your quirkiness. you have such a zest for life.


i love you oh so, so, so much,


mama
