The Beginning

Dear Avery,

Today you woke up early, around 7. You have started sleeping in till 7:30 or 7:45 lately, so 7:00 seemed so early to me. I got you out of bed and we played for awhile. Adilynn and daddy were still sleeping so it was just you and me. A rare treat.

We spent our morning at home cleaning and doing little stuff, while you spent your morning chattering up a storm and following Adilynn around. I think your favorite thing to do is to wait until Adilynn has her baby dolls arranged perfectly, and then you run over and grab a doll and take off running! It's quite funny to watch, although Adilynn usually ends up crying!

Daddy and I are working with you on NOT throwing yourself onto the floor when you are upset. We always make you stand up and you usually calm down after that. We like to say that it's a good thing you're cute because it makes us forget your tantrums! But thankfully they are short lived and then you are onto something else.

You took your normal three hour afternoon nap, and then went to Sam's with daddy. You LOVE to go out with daddy. You will follow him around whining until he picks you up because you think he is going to leave without you!

You have been healing nicely from your pneumonia and sinus infection. Antibiotics twice a day for ten days. You do great at taking your medicine for me, probably because of the bubblegum flavor.

We enjoy you so much. You love to wrestle with daddy and for him to chase you.

We are blessed to be your mommy and daddy and we would do anything for you. We pray for you daily that God will always be near to you and that you have a close relationship with Him.

Love,
Mommy
