Well, I really don't know how this happened, but Avery turned two just a few days ago. Two, TWO...that means she's been in our life for over 730 days and taken up 104 weekends, but she has loved us eary single minute of it. It's amazing to me to see how much a child can love you, I mean really. Their affection is completely un-conditional, you don't have to earn one little bit of it. They just love and that's it.
God really knew what He was doing when He created our little Avery. I'm not trying to brag here, but we have a pretty perfect kid. I started this blog because she was and still is doing all these amazing things, and I don't want to take for granted any of it.
Looking back makes me look forward to her future. I get nervous, excited, and sad all at the sametime when I think about. Panties will come into play this year along with her first sentence, though I'm pretty sure she says them now, you just can't understand it. She will start to understand and love her little sister...for that matter, this year her sister might just get old enough to play...that's another exciting thought. Avery will probably discover her favorite color, animal, and maybe even outfit. And MAYBE even start trying new foods, though no fingers are crossed on that one.
What the next 365 days hold, I can't tell. But I can tell you I've never been this excited about an upcoming year. Our family will grow so much as these two girls get one year older. The baby phase will have finally left the building, and we are so ready for it. I look forward to seeing Avery grow into even more of a litte girl, and my prayer is that her Daddy and I continue to be there to protect, teach, and love her every moment of it.
Happy Birthday, Avery Bryn, we love you!
