Ava at 29 Months

Two things are very exciting to Ava at 29 months:

1. That her baby sister is coming to live with her.  She is so excited for this event.  She often talks about how she is going to change baby sister's diaper and give her a bottle and dress her and hold her.  She thinks baby sister is going to be another one of her baby dolls.

2. Christmas is coming.  She loves all things about Christmas........baby Jesus, Mary & Joseph; Santa Clause; Elf on the Shelf; the tree; gifts........she would like candy, toys & books.

Ava at 28 Months

Ava is so much fun at this age.  She can communicate exactly what she needs to us and have complete conversations with us.  She is a funny little girl full of ways to make us laugh.  She loves to play with her baby dolls.......which seems to be her favorite toy since birth.  She also loves building castles with blocks, playing outside with daddy, reading books.  

Favorite memory:  We pray every night and some nights after we have thanked the Lord for daddy, mommy, Ava, baby sister and all the other friends and family that Ava can think of, I pray for her future.  I pray that she will grow up to have a heart for Jesus and be a godly woman and make a difference for God's kingdom.  She listens, but has never acknowledged what I am saying.  Then, one day we were talking and Jesus came up and she said, "I have Jesus in my heart".  It touched me so much to know she hears what I am praying over her.
