As I am a virgin blogger- I hope everyone will pardon my novice ways and teach me more about sharing my life on the world wide web!
There is much that has already occurred in the Blake Packard household in 2012. The most important being our 5 month old Avalinne Joie has truly begun speaking...no we are serious. Among the goos, gaas, and spit laden rasberries, Linneey has begun to form papa and mama and cast them in our general direction.
We are about 90% sure that they are intended for us. Two nights ago we were awoken to a teeny tiny voice calling out mamamama papapapapapamamamapapapapapa. Although it was 2 am (again!) and my body was crying out- "No- don't do it- just let her self- soothe!," the thought of another child calling my name brought warmth to my heart and caused my will to weaken as I cuddled my beloved daughter.
And with all the babbling and talking shared with her extremly vibrant and vocal 2.5 year old sister- we are sure there will be many more sweet nights of awakenings from our little Jabber Jay- Avalinne.
I will do my best to update and post that which is truly critical for all the world, at least the world of the Packard family, to know about. We hope that all is well with you and yours and that this week brings many new adventures to pass along.
