The amount of people that have said to me cherish these first years as it will go so fast is unbelievable. I didn’t really understand what they meant until now !. I thought that Ava would stay this little baby for ages but this is not the fact. Over the weekend Ava has learnt to roll half way !! ( all the way is just so much hard work !!) at the time it was so exciting, we were both sat there cameras at the ready to capture this on film to show everyone and to have for ever to watch back. The more and more I thought about it the…
