Once a shy and at-times reserved toddler, these days Avery is a bit of a wild child - often running around with a huge smile and loud laugh and at times acting naughty. (“Just joking!” she’ll call out when she does something she knows she’s not supposed to do.) The one thing that has remained unchanged about her, though, is her sweetness. Some examples: The other night I commented that my back was hurting and she came up to me, patted the couch and said, “Rest now, Mama.” I was playing silly one day by asking who her sister was, and she responded with a “My Zoe. I love her.” And when I burst into tears after a doctor’s appointment with her the other day (details on that coming soon), she looked up at me with concern and said, “It’s okay, Mama.” I picked her up and she proceeded to touch my face and tell me it was going to be okay as I held her in my arms.

(sniff, sniff)
