Eleven Months - Ava

My Sweet Baby Girl is just getting so big! Can you believe that she is almost a year old?!? This past year has just flown by!

Ava has recently discovered berries and has fallen in LOVE! Previously, my Little Miss took a dim view towards any fruit we put in front of her. Peaches...NO! Bananas...NO! Pears...NO! Cooked Apples...NO! Pineapple...NO! Grapes...well...maybe. Raspberries...YES!!! Blueberries...YES!!! She is becoming quite the foodie at such an early age.

Ava's fourth tooth recently broke through and I just love her toothy grin. She is starting to take a few steps on her own and really wants to walk but doesn't quite have the confidence or coordination yet. She is crawling up onto anything she can, loves to dance, and has learned how to stick her tongue out and make funny faces {thanks Papa for teaching her that}.

Ava's current stats are:

Weight: 22 pounds 10 ounces
Height: 29 inches

I think Ava looks a lot like her brother in this picture.

Ava is quite the mover and shaker. She is always on the go and does not sit still for very long.

This reminds me so much of Noah at about the same age.

My three babies!

After taking pictures, Noah suggested that they take a silly picture. I just love these silly faces!

The Story

Our son, Noah Stone Jackson, was born with a very rare genetic disorder called Fraser syndrome. Among his many challenges are one “hidden eye”, a narrow trachea (which required him to have a tracheotomy), an imperforate anus (which required a colostomy), difficulty swallowing (which required a G-Tube for feedings), the fusing of his vocal chords (which means he may never speak), and club feet (which are being corrected with braces). Our family is on an amazing journey together. We are learning to walk along this path that God has planned for us, trusting in His infinite love and wisdom. We are taking each day (or each moment) as it comes and relying on each other, our friends and family, and our God for strength. We have a long road ahead of us filled with several more surgeries, lots of recovery, countless hours of therapy, and many trips to specialists around the state. Every day brings us challenges but they pale in comparison to the smiles and cuddles from our little man. Noah is our son, a true gift from God, and we cannot wait to see where this adventure leads.
