Avabelle's Letter

I wanted this letter for Ava's baby book, but dad said no.

Dear Avabelle Gray Cobb,
First of all we loved your name when we heard it. Actually dad liked Avabelle and I liked Avabella. We found it from a name website and REALLY loved the meaning Avabelle means beautiful breath of life. Wow! That hit home for us we thought this is what our baby girl is going to be. It really fits your personality well because that is who you are to us. Your middle name is dad and brothers first name. Gray is a family name that we thought sounded pretty with your name. We loved how you would be able to be Ava, Belle, or Avabelle. I don’t know why dad named you Avabelle because he always calls you Avacakes J. It is a very sweet nickname for such a sweet and delightful girl. You slept with us until you were 7 months because you always liked to cuddle and that’s moms favorite thing to do. You slept on the outside of the bed so dad wouldn’t roll on you. I never slept well, but I loved having you in my arms. You have an amazing smile and personality. I see people smile when they see you. You light up a room when you’re in it because you are so full of life. I hope you always keep that magic that you possess inside because it is an amazing gift. You were here two days before your due date because we wanted Dr. Romy Mason to deliver you because she delivered your brother and she’s an amazing person and doctor. She wasn’t on call the whole next week so your were induced two days early. You were dad’s birthday present early because your birthday is May 10th and his is the 14th. I was so excited to have a baby girl. I would dress you as if you were my doll everyday, and you would always smile and let me. My favorite thing about you being a baby was how you loved me to hold you. You lived in the baby carrier until you could walk you loved seeing every new thing you could. I would tell dad you liked being held because you were super smart and your brain needed to be stimulated. He didn’t care you’re his baby girl and he thinks you’re the cat’s meow. Mom and brother think your pretty special too. Here are five virtues that we would love you to live by in your life,
Respectful yourself and others
Empathy for others
Responsibility for you own actions
Self-reliance.
Make good choices
Love,
Mom and Dad
