Baby girl,
You are loving your new mobility. You are everywhere now. It is so fun to watch you explore. You are learning what 'no' means and you are not a fan. You are generous with your kisses and Grammy loves that. I was calling you hurricane avery today. What a mess a little girl can make. (You know I dont mind).
When you were a newborn I would rub your cute little feet. You still like me to do that. When you are taking your bottle you put your feet in my hand for me to rub. I love this.
Again, Grammy loves you and am so blessed to have time with you.

grumpy girl crawling
Dear Avery,
You are crawling everywhere! You are fast too. You stayed with Grammy today. You were quite the grump most of the day. Temper!! If you just take your nap without so much fighting, you would have more time to play.
At some point today, you decided to be happy and was so much fun. Loved crawling around with you and watching you explore.
Regardless of how grumpy you are, I love having you. You are an amazing little girl. Grammy's girl always.
Love you, Grammy 08-08-2011 Avery

My sweet Avery,
Boy, are you crawling now! You are so curious. My daddy (your great grandpa) used to call your mother "nibby" because he said she was nosy. He adored her. I am sorry you can't get to know him.
I was looking at your hands today as you slept. Your little knuckles are indented so cute. You have the longest fingers. Papa wants to teach you piano one day.
Your first tooth has broken the gum this week! You chew on everything you can put in your mouth. More teeth to come.
You love to wave and play peek-a-boo. Your dimples are the best. Everytime you giggle you get hiccups.
Well baby, that is all for now. Grammy loves you! 08-02-2011 Avery

A little late but not too late to start.
I became a Grammy on Oct 19, 2010.I had full intentions of beginning to record in writing the wonderful days with sweet Avery but have not as if yet. I have lots of pictures and videos but wanted to write from my perspective my thoughts of her. So this blog is going to be written to her so one day it will be a love letter to her from her Grammy Barb.
To my dear Avery,
You are my first grandbaby and was I excited for the whole pregnancy! Me and your momma are great friends as well as mother daughter. I love your mommy with all my heart. She involved me in the steps of preparing for your arrival and I felt I kinda knew you already.
The day you were born was the most wonderful day! When I first saw your little swollen pink face, I said, "she looks just like Brittany". It was like looking at your momma's sweet face all those years ago. Oh, the feeling of looking at my granddaughter for the first time! There is absolutely no words to describe. It is instant love but different from the instant love of looking at your own child for the first time. You were beautiful and perfect!
The first few weeks were a whirlwind for me. I wanted to see you everyday but wanted to not overstep my boundaries. Your momma and daddy were doing such a great job, they did not need me to come over all the time but did allow me to very often. I just wanted to hold you and look at you.
Boy, the next few months flew by. You were starting to smile and giggle. Looking at your hands and feet. Rolling over by yourself. You were changing everyday. Finally, in Feb 2011, your momma went back to work. It was not finally for her but it was for me because I got to keep you on the days she worked. Just like Heaven to me!
It is now the end of July 2011 and we have had great fun. I have watched you go from only milk to some solids and since you are with me all day, I get to watch your reaction to foods and learn your likes and dislikes. You are trying sooo hard to crawl and have for your momma and daddy. You are pulling up and love to stand up as much as possible. On our days you spend a great deal of time standing and sitting on me. I do not mind at all. We spend almost all day in the floor playing and learning. I am reminded as I watch you sleep, that you are a true miracle. The Lord healed your momma's womb and gave us you. I spent alot of time saying thank you Lord for this precious child.
One last thing before ending today, I must mention the nasty little habit you have now of throwing temper tantrums. As temper tantrums go, you are really good at it. You momma was too, so I have been trained. hehe 07-30-2011 Avery
