Ava,

Your dad and I have loved you from the day we found out I was pregnant! Maybe even before we found out! I had prayed for a little girl and how lucky was I that god gave me you! You put a smile on our faces every single day. I always knew I would have two boys! I joke that that is why I had triplets because god knew I needed my girl! I feel so lucky to be your mom! I know that when you read this one day you are going to be the exact same as you are now. You have had the same little personality from the first day we met you! You are a funny little girl! You also get prettier every single day! That might be a problem because you are the biggest flirt I have ever seen! You love the boys. You also like to give kisses! As long as you only share your kisses with your brothers we will be okay! You love your brothers and you are always one step behind Knox where ever he goes. I'm afraid you two are going to be trouble. You can be a little mishevious! I've caught you going through the dog door several times! Apparently you like the taste of dog food! You also still love Layla! You look for her every morning when you wake up! Layla and Coco always go with me to get you out of bed and every morning you greet us with a squeal and a smile! Your dad and I fight over who gets to get you out of bed! You are so happy and excited to see us! You are pretty much always happy but you still have your fake cry and you know who to use it on! It doesn't work with mommy! You also have a little yell that you do if you want a bite of something! Gigi is trying to teach you how to say "Bite" but you haven't mastered that yet! You also think it's funny to bang on the table or you tray when you want more food. The boys have picked up on this. You are all little copycats which can be funny and not so funny at times! You play so hard. You are always busy doing something! I think because you play so hard you are the easiest baby to put to sleep! As long as you have Mr Frog you are a happy baby!

Ava, we love you and can't imagine our lives without you! Thank you for being you! Perfect, pretty, smart, funny you!
