My Little Best Friend

I am really terrible at keeping up with blogging. I have the greatest intention and then fail time after time. I've always been told that when you get bucked off the horse you need to get right back up and in the saddle again. Here I am....YEE-HAW!!! It is after midnight but I cannot NOT record this sweet memory of my little best friend! My little best friend has beautiful blonde hair, deep blue eyes, a nose crinkle that can be seen from miles away, two dimples that melt your heart and a laugh that is beyond contagious. She is who I share all of my secrets with, who I sing Disney songs at the top of my lungs for and of course who I spend all of my waking time day after day with. She is my #1 side kick. we are together 24/7(no but seriously...I wouldn't have it any other way). My little best friend is 8 months old(HOLY FLAMMING COW, WHERE OH WHERE HAS THE TIME GONE)!!!! Her name is Averie but I like to call her Aves ;) 
  Daddy is at work right now and has been all evening. It has just been me and the babes. We went window shopping together, ate a delectable torta together(yum yum), layed on all sorts of beds at the nighty night store together (mattress store...we are in the market) and then went to prom together!! Yep, you heard me right, PROM!!! How many momma's can say that...haha I was my daughters first prom date(poor girl...lol)! Tonight was the modest Is Hottest prom for our stake and three others. I decided to go and check out all of my YW's stylin dresses/gowns(all uh-mazingly gorgeous of course)! I dressed Averie up in the cutest/fanciest dress we had. She was a doll. She L.O.V.E.D it! She was in a trance watching all of the kids dance and run around. The lights alone were enough to keep her entertained for a year or two. It was so stinking sweet. Melt my heart. But alas I must be honest, I was a LAME SPICE prom date. After about 20 minutes I was over it. Ready to go home and get my comfy cuddly on. Averie was DEVASTATED to say the least. She fought tooth and nail when I tried to get her in the car seat. As we were driving home she kept letting out the saddest cry sighs. I think I broke my child's heart. I think I broke my heart...haha. It was a tender moment. I knew that those little noises were pleadings to go back. I should of but I didn't. I know I'm a debbie downer but I was tired what can I say. Tonight my love for my daughter grew(if that is even possible). I for the first time had an I am a mommy moment(me an ACTUAL mommy, so cool)!!!!! The way she acted made me think back to how I acted when I felt like my parents were making me feel left out or not letting me do something I had my heart set on. It was a surreal moment. One that I will never forget. It opened my eye's. I saw Averie in a different light. She wasn't just this CUTE adorable baby I was taking care of, she was MY cute adorable baby! As she held my finger on the car ride home my heart swelled. I am beyond grateful that my Heavenly Father has blessed me with miss Averie Nicole. He Loves me. He Loves me so much!
