are you really two years old already?

Sweet baby girl, wow you are two years old!! That is amazing and hard to believe. The time has flown by. You have gone from being completely dependent on someone for everything to being very strong willed and independent. What an incredible journey it has been. The latest fun things are your love for angelina ballerina, dancing, Thomas the train and giving hugs freely. You are going to be a great dancer if you continue as you are now. You love markers and crayons. For some reason you want me to draw a sad face with tears so you can add more tears. You get very upset if I don't comply. Actually you get pretty upset anytime Grammy does not comply. Papa said you might be spoiled but I disagree! Your momma and daddy gave you a great birthday party yesterday. Lots of friends and family celebrated with you. I could go on and on but it is all to say how precious you are to so many people. As always, Grammy loves you! 10-21-2012 Avery

expressions and tantrums

Hi sweet girl. You are growing so fast. You are changing every day. You still arent talking but communication is usually not a problem. You have started making the cutest expressions. You are definitely a drama girl. A really sweet thing you are doing now is hugging and kissing freely. You run to us and hug us tight with your eyes closed and sweet sound. Today your tantrums reached a new level. You can really scream and cry when you are not pleased. Don't worry, your momma was a champ at tantrums. I am experienced sweet one. As always,Grammy loves you! 09-26-2012 Avery

little swimmer

Hey baby girl. Your are such a delight! It is so much fun to be around you. You have started pouting a good bit. Today you pouted three times during breakfast. It is super cute. You lower your head, stick out your lip, move your fingers and look up to see if you are being watched. It always makes me smile! Sometimes you pout for no reason. You just stop what you are doing and pout. You love the water. You kick and move your arms to help when I am carrying you in the pool. You will step off the side of the pool into my arms. You are such a daredevil! I bet you become a great swimmer. You are so close to talking. You makes so many new sounds. I am still amazed at how well you can communicate without talking. What a pretty little girl you are. You are super independent but like to be close to someone you know. I love this stage in your growth. You are an incredible blessin As always, Grammy loves you!! 08-02-2012 Avery

busy busy girl

Hey sweet girl. You are changing so fast!! You look like a little girl now. Not sure when that happened. You are so smart. You amaze me with all the things you have learned to do. You watch and listen to everything. Even though you aren't talking yet, you communicate very good. Somehow we have all learned what you want. You now take us by the hand and lead us to what you are talking about. Your temper is showing too. Screaming and throwing yourself on the floor are two of the things you do when frustrated. You are an amazing blessing. I can't imagine you not being with us. As always, Grammy loves you!! 07-12-2012 Avery

Loving little girl

Hey stinkerdoodle. I am enjoying this phase you are in. You hand out hugs readily. You will stop playing, crawl in my lap and give me a big two arms around the neck hug. (You do that for others too). You are so smart! You understand most everything we say now. I am ready for you to start talking. You are wanting to sit on the potty too! You are such a joy and blessing! As always, Grammy loves you! 06-20-2012 Avery

getting too big!

Hey precious girl. You are growing into a big girl fast! You understand most everything we say to you. However, you don't always do what we tell you. Hand swatting and time out are becoming necessary. It bothers the adults much more than you. You are saying more sounds but no words yet. I cant wait to hear your sweet voice say "Grammy". You are a very loved girl. Your parents are great and love you so much. You have several grandparents that love you very much too!Jesus loves you too! You are too young to understand about Jesus but you will. My prayer is that you will love Him with your whole heart someday. As always, Grammy loves you! 06-01-2012 Avery
