Loving watching her grow

Hey again sweet girl! You are so much fun right now. You run, play, dance, help and wrap some of us around your finger. On the days I get to take of you, when you wake up and see me, you say "Ge". Then you say " Mom at work, Dad at work". You are happy and ready to face the day. Life is such an adventure for you. Your speech is improving greatly. You try to say everything and usually understandable. One of your favorite words is NOW. Patience is something you are learning but does not come naturally. I love the time I get to spend watching you dance. You are a very good and dramatic dancer already! You and your mom and dad are settled into your new house. It is beautiful and will be full of memories as you grow. I am so blessed to watch you as you grow. These are times I treasure in my heart! As always, Ge loves you!! 01-30-2013 Avery

New Year and talking

Happy New Year sweet baby girl. It is now 2013 and you are a little more than 2 years old! What a fun year it has been. I have got to spend a lot of time with you and I have loved it! You are really starting to talk. You can say several words and try to say everything. I have been calling myself Grammy all this time but you have changed that. You call me Ge and will correct anyone who calls me Grammy. You call Papa Pop now. It is so fun to communicate with you now. I love hearing you try so hard. You now have a crush on Marco the mouse from Angelina Ballerina. You actually act shy and smile when someone asks you of you love Marco. Christmas with the family was so much fun. You and your mama and daddy came to Stella and stayed for the weekend. You love the farm and all the space to run. You moo when the cows moo. It is super cute. I can honestly say that when I feel sad, your smile, giggles and hugs make things right again. You are so loving and sweet. I am excited about what this year brings. You will change so much and I am so blessed to be able to have the chance to watch you. You are an amazing little girl! As always Ge (previously known as Grammy) loves you! 01-01-2013 Avery

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
