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

Let me go outside please!

Hi again baby girl.You are growing up super fast. You are a daredevil for sure. You will climb on anything and everything. What a busy little girl you are!Time out and hand swatting are now are a part of your life. The funny thing is that you don't seem to mind. As a matter of fact you seem to find it funny. This is frustrating and humorous for adults. If possible you would spend all your time outdoors. We have battles over staying on the sidewalk. You are very stubborn sweet girl. As always Grammy loves you! 05-15-2012 Avery

Fun times

Hey sweet baby girl. You have spent a lot of time with Grammy this week and it has been great! You are babbling new sounds. When you get mad, you say nananana really loud. You stomp your feet and clap your hands. I can't keep from laughing. You have a ways to go before you catch up to your momma at this age! She was a champ at temper tantrums. You spent last night with me and Papa at the farm. You loved the bull that mooed at you. You held a June bug. Rocks and dirt are your friends. It was great fun! I love watching you grow and change. As Always Grammy loves you! 04-22-2012 Avery

Miss Independent

Hi sweet baby girl. Boy are you a stubborn little girl! You want to do everything without help. That causes showdowns sometimes.
When you get mad you run away and cry or lay face down on the floor and cry. You are very dramatic!
I think you are heading full blast toward the terrible twos! It promises to be bumpy but wonderful!
As always, Grammy loves you!
