{Ava, Christmas 2004}
I’m sorry, you’ll have to forgive me. This is shameless baby picture posting.
I woke up this morning thinking about this picture. It was as though Saint Lucia herself walked into my room with a tray of warm smiles and sweet baby cheeks.
I’d trade in my scarves for a chance to squeeze those cheeks again.
Now, if you’ll excuse me I have to go find some tissue. There is just too much sweetness in that picture.
I think this is the first baby picture I’ve seen of Ava. I’d heard she was a beauty. It wasn’t a joke! And really, not much has changed.
That’s Swedish isn’t it? My college celebrated Saint Lucia day.
Ava sure is a beauty! I love her little rubber band wrists in this picture.
oh, she is so sweet!! i feel myself getting a bit teary as well….
Beautiful babe!
Saint Lucia Day. I’ll have to remember that one. I love the name Lucia.
What’s your fave pronunciation?
‘LOO-sha’
‘loo-CHEE-ah’/'loo-SHEE-ah’
or
‘loo-SEE-ah’
??
I remember that day well. How she has grown! Soon she will be old enough to wear the candles on her head and bring in the Swedish treats to you and Hungry Man in bed. She is, after all, part Swede!
yup, she’s a doll baby. I love those opened mouth grins those are the best. Along with those type kisses. drool and all…yeah, can you pass those tissues please.
