Happy 2 Years Avery!!
Dear Avery,
Another year has come and gone, and now you are 2! Wow..where did that last year go? We thought you were big when you turned one. In a year, I can't believe all that you have done. You are a running, jumping, dancing, singing, talking machine! Again, each day you somehow manage to yet even more joy and happiness into our lives. Right now some of your favorite things to do are to sing the ABC song..of course this is your own version, but it gets better and better each day. You are hilarious when you sing the Bitsy Bitsy Spider song..complete with all of the actions. You tell us you love us multiple times a day, and each time our hearts melt just a little bit more. You are the light of your grandparents' eyes as well...with those same words of I Love You Bapa - Nana - Damma or Dammy or whoever is lucky enough to be on the receiving end of those words, and with your hugs, kisses and squeezes.
You love to hide, chase, climb and be tickled. You grow smarter each day with your growing vocabulary and amaze with each new thing you learn to do. Right now you happen to love Dora, Abby Cadabby (Adabadabby..as you say) SpongeBob (you squeal and jump each time you hear the song) Puppies, and Baby Doll. You LOVE your blankie and still love your bottle..though mama and daddy are really trying to work on that one. You love to be a puppy too! You are such a good mama to your baby doll. You always make sure she has her bottle and gets burped. You take her for many walks in her stroller all around our house. You always call for her (Baby-Doll) first thing when you wake up and you make sure she is okay. You love to color with your color crayons, or as you call them "tully tans". You are becoming quite the independent lady, and insist of buckling yourself into your high chair and carseat and you even like to try to put on your own pants! You still love to snuggle, and daddy and I often fight over who gets to rock with you to sleep each night. We love to wake up to your kisses and hugs in the morning, and LOVE reading books with you. You can't get enough books. We have them stashed all over the house so we are never far away from one. You especially love books that have the moon in them. For some reason, you just LOVE the moon. You also love your cousins!! You love the time you get to spend with Donner (Conner)...A-E (Ansley) or No-No (Noah). You love when you get to play with Noah and Ansley's puppy Tucker also, and are very good at telling Tucker No-No!
Your favorite foods right now are Yo-Gos, Cheese, Goldfish, Mac and Cheese, Toaster Strudels, Yogurt, Apples, Oranges, and......french fries..but we try not to have those too often. You love to run and play outside. You love to go to Lori's to see your friends Zachy, Baby Catherine, and of course the puppy Molly. We are so lucky you have such a wonderful place to go while mama and daddy have to go to work. You get to go to the library each Tuesday and are always learning new things at Lori's house. You are our favorite little helper and love to help mama and daddy out in any way you can. You love to hand us things and help us clean up! You usually sing a song when you do this, which of course we love! Your faces you make crack us up daily! Your excited face is the best thing ever and you are usually willing to share it with us!!!!
As you can see, you amaze us each day. Your words you use are countless and I've lost track! You pretty much hear it, say it and you've got it! (Mama and Daddy need to be careful!!) We are always surprised with a new word that you use! You have lots of nicknames..you are our little Lou-Who, Avers, Avery Lou, Lovey. But most importantly, you are the sweetest, most beautiful little thing in the world. It is safe to say you are definitely a Daddy's girl, but I know you love your mama too!! Your hugs and kisses let me know for sure! Watching your personality develop makes us so proud. You are becoming such an independent little thing, with a personality the size of Texas! You are smart, sweet, loving, funny and beautiful! We love you more than you can ever even imagine, and that love grows deeper each day. We love you so much Avery Ellen Bahn. Happy 2nd Birthday to our Avery Lou. We LOVE you.
Love,
Mama and Daddy
