Those. 3. Words. Almost as good as I Love You. And even better when they come from a two year old.

Of course I love that Ava is talking now, so she can tell us what she needs/wants. But the best part is when the words she says are ones where you can tell she is learning to love through what she hears frequently from us. Today, I got my first “I missed you” from this little love. She got into bed with me early this morning (after not sleeping with me last night), and wrapped her arms around my neck and said “I missed you”. It was so sweet and totally made it even more difficult to get out of bed, as I just wanted to cuddle all the cuteness that is my sweet Ava. So here is a throwback of one of my favorite pictures of this little angel. Love you baby!
