AUGUST 1ST

Little Miss Ava,

I can't believe you are 4 years old today!

Where has the time gone? It feels like just yesterday we were celebrating your 1st Birthday! We had a party at Aunt Sarah and Uncle Brad's house, and you had so much fun! Mommy had a special "birthday girl" outfit made, and you started walking right before the big day! You didn't have much hair, but I still thought you were the cutest little girl!



With a blink of an eye, we were celebrating your 2nd Birthday! We again partied away at Aunt Sarah and Uncle Brad's, and you were so much more excited about your Birthday! You loved opening all your presents, but weren't a huge fan of the cake ((not much has changed!)) Mommy had another "birthday girl" shirt made, and you looked so adorable in your pigtails!





I blinked again, and you were THREE!! I took the day off work, and you, Aunt Sarah, and I all went to the Dallas World Aquarium and spent the morning looking at all the fun animals. You loved the otters and the flamingos! After lunch and a nap, the crew ((Mommy, Daddy, Aunt Sarah, Uncle Brad, Miss Brittany, Sissy, Greg, Joey and Erica)) all headed to Adventure landing to ride go-carts, play put-put, and eat pizza! You had a blast, and wore your "Little Miss Birthday" t-shirt and the staple pig tails!

And today, you are FOUR! You have a ton of hair, and brilliant smile, and a laugh that melts my heart. You are a spit fire--always keeping Mommy on her toes. And on the flip side, you are such a sweet, well mannered little girl! You are always saying "I love you" and "please, thank you". You are so smart! You go to preschool at The Whistle Stop Station, and you love your teachers! Tonight we are going to the Circus with Aunt Sarah and Uncle Brad, and then we will go to Chuck E. Cheese tomorrow with your family. You can't wait!

I am so lucky to be able to say that I am your Mommy! I am so excited to see what your 4th year has in store for us!

I love you baby girl~

Love,

Mommy
