Here are some new pics for you to enjoy. Isn't she just precious? And her momma is so pretty.
It seems like Ava is changing so much these days. She is eating stage2 foods very well, not needing as much formula, and sleeps at night with just a quick wakeup for a drink. Not bad, considering. The poor baby is trying so hard to learn to crawl, but she just can't get it yet. Still not much to report on her language skills. Again, she is working on it. Her personality, however, is in full bloom! She is so funny. She certainly loves her people, especially her mommy. But let's face it...what's not to love?
I have had a such an aversion to writing lately. I think part of it is reading all those list-serv messages depresses me so much that I don't even want to THINK about Williams Syndrome. I prefer to live in my own delusional world where Ava is perfect. When I think about all the things that are "wrong" this pervasive sadness takes over and then I have a hard time shaking it off. And I am only a grandma; I can't imagine what it would be like if I were the parent and had to take on such overwhelming responsibility. I applaud all of you! Anyway, I love all of you so don't give up on me yet!

Hi Kim,
Although I don't have time to read all of your posts, I skimmed through a bunch of them. What a beautiful family you have and a neat blog! What a fun Grandma you must be!
We have a daughter with Ws, and although she isn't "typical," we tend to think she IS perfect. We have five older children and although Angelina was quite unexpected, she brings amazing joy to all of us.
My best to you and your wonderful family!

What great pics - love Ava's smile :)
I agree with the list-serv depression and I only skim through it once in awhile. BTW, you're not delusional - Ava IS perfect. Look how much joy she brings you - look at that smile and how much joy she brings others. If that ain't perfect... :)
Thank you so much for sharing the photos! And thank you for your friendship.

Ava has the most B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L smile. I too need to avoid opening many of the list serve e-mails or it gets too overwhelming. But I must say I have found so much support and help there also.Just focus on little Ava and how much joy she brings..... she is simply adorable!

Thanks for the beautiful pictures!!! Ava becomes cuter every week!
Like you, I don't want to think about ws, sometimes I have success, sometimes not. A few monts ago mainly I didn't have success, nowadays I try to forget Szabi has ws. it is a kind of self-bluff, but I need it for the survival :))))))
Love, Kati

Very Cute pictures I love the one with Mom that is one for hte wall :)
Wow, Ava is gorgeous. I love the new pictures!! I also agree with the listserve depression. I really tend to pick and choose what I read about. If the topic is much older than relates to Emerson I skip it. I will focus on her current needs worry about the rest when it comes up. Great hearing from you!!
