The Big TWO!

First birthday, eating birthday cake!

Two years ago today at 3:08pm, our number 1 daughter, Avery was born! I can't believe our little girl is two years old. Her attitude is that of the typical terrible two year old, but I still want her to be my baby! She is daddy's little girl and mommy's world! The past two years we have learned a lot about our little monkey. A few things we have learned:

- She was born with an attitude! She came out screaming and hasn't stopped since!
- She loves fish, doggies and babies.
- She is a girly girl, loves shoes, purses, make-up, and her sunglasses.
- She didn't get hair until just recently, I was so jealous of other moms who got to do their babies hair!
- She didn't get her first tooth until after she started walking. I love her big toothy smile.
- Luckily, she loves fruits and veggies and will eat just about anything!
- Is a great sleeper, I have no plans on moving her out of her crib until she is 18.
- She has go-go gadget arms---can get into EVERYTHING! The other day she got the dreft off of the dryer and continued to spray herself down with it! UGH!
- She loves music. I could sing "Popcorn popping", " 5 Little Speckled Frogs" or "I am a Child of God" all day long and she would still be wanting more.
- She loves water and you will find her playing in it no matter where it is...doggie bowls, puddles, toilets...eek.
- She loves her daddy and her baby! She is a great big sister and tells me "No, Mommy! Mine!!" and removes my hand from D and starts to hold her hand and smother her with kisses. D is her Nanney! It is such a sweet site!

We are blessed to have her as our daughter, terrible two's and all. Happy Birthday Avery! We love you.
