Sweet PEAS

My baby is 2 today. Time flies so fast. I can not believe she has been in our lives for 2 whole years now!

I wanted to write a few of my favorite things about Avery, it is hard, because I have a lot of favorite things!

1. She is cuddly. (At least when she wants to be.) She will give me the biggest and tightest hugs. I absolutely love when she will hug me and just let me hold her.

2. Her word, "please". The cutest thing ever. She has been a little slow to talk. It is coming slowly, but surely. One word that she knows well is "please". It sounds like sheez. We LOVE to hear her say it! I need to record it!

3. Her kisses. She loves to give these big open mouth kisses. Every night before bed she has to go around and give each member of the family a BIG kiss. So cute!

4. Her spunk. If you know Avery, she is FULL of spunk. I will admit, sometimes it drives me crazy. But there is truly never a dull moment with Avery around!

5. Her love of everything "girly"! She is the girliest girl! She loves taking care of her dolls. It is a rare moment in our house if she doesn't have a doll, blanket, and bottle in her hands. She loves purses, shoes, clothes. Once, several months ago, we were in the mall and I tried a pair of really cute shoes on her. When I went to put them back, she cried and cried and cried. Now I know that I better be serious about the shoes if I try them on her.

6. Her smiley eyes. Avery and Paisley both have smiley eyes. Their eyes show so much emotion. I always say that we could cover up Avery's face except her eyes and we would know exactly what she was feeling, especially happiness. Her eyes "smile"!

7. Her dimples. I always wanted a child with dimples. Avery's aren't too deep or prominent, but they are there. She has one on her cheek near her eye that we saw from the minute she was born. My mom and I call it her "mad dimple" because you see it mostly when she cries.

8. The way that she is SUCH a mama's girl. Seriously, it is kinda sad, sometimes. She wants me to do everything for her. She often times won't let Dave do anything for her because she wants me. Most of the time, I love this.

I love my little girl so much. She has brought so much joy into our family. Easton and Paisley love her to death. Easton loves to give her kisses. He told me last night that he would walk 200 miles to give her a kiss! I am so thankful for her and all she brings to our lives, even the craziness!!!
