Waiting For Ava

“But these things I plan won’t happen right away. Slowly, steadily, surely, the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, be patient! For it will surely take place. It will not be late by a single day.” Habakkuk 2:3

We got back from dinner about a half an hour ago. We went to a restaurant that's in the hotel. We have been there for at least four dinners. It is a buffet. Very good food. Terri has stuck to spaghetti and pork. I have been a little adventurous. Snails, Lamb, Foie gras. Just to name a few. The food is very good here.

I am sitting here watching Terri and Ava on the bed. Ava usually has a nap for about a half an hour or so in the evenings. When we got the paper work for Ava when we got here said that she sucks on a blanket when she goes to sleep. Of course we didn't get that blanket. So it has been a chore to put her down for a nap.

Tonight Terri took off her shirt and Ava is now laying in front of Terri with the shirt wrapped around herself. Terri is rubbing her hands and arms. Ava is holding up her hand so that Terri can rub it. It is so cute to watch.

Ava says thanks to Auntie Sherri for the shawls. It is the only thing other than Terri's shirt that she will let us cover her with. She will not let us cover her with a blanket at all. Nothing soft.

When Ava sleeps at night she moves her legs and feet around until she finds her momma. It's funny as well. She can be dead asleep but as soon as she looses touch with Terri her legs start to search for her. Believe me it's cute and all but we wanted to make sure we tried her in the crib last night. That went well. She only woke up once throughout the night and all Terri had to do was rub her back and side a little bit and she went right back to sleep.
