Mine

It's no secret that having a baby has consumed my life. Maybe it sort of snuck up on me or it could have been intentional (I mean, she's a beaut. How could you not be obsessed?), either way, my child is the center of my world. It's a interesting concept in that when you are younger, it becomes the ulimate quest to find the meaning of life. Being a great education, partying/ living care free, obtaining that dream job, finding true love, or just 'being' and experiencing the tranquility of the quiet and undisturbed. But as soon has you have a child, it sort of becomes tunnel vision. At least it was for me. Everything that I thought was important just fades away and all I can see is Ava when I close my eyes. I still have a sense of identity post Ava's arrival. I'm still a student. I'm a daughter. I'm a wife. I'm a friend. But she makes my life that much richer.

After nap cuddles are my favorite.

Check out how wide I can open my mouth, Mom!

I'm going to be the first to say that it takes a village to raise a baby. It was clearly ment for two (or more) people hence why we are suppose to get married first. My husband is a great father and it's clear in Ava's adoration for him. And my mom, who likes to remind me that Ava calls her 'mama', make everything that much easier. Props to my family.
