"Mommy" Update

2 years and 3 days after I brought her into this world, my adorable daughter for the very first time ran up to me, hugged my legs, and said, "Mommy!" Tears welled up in my eyes!

For months and months, Avery's been saying Dad, and Papa, and kitty, and a million other words and names, but never Mama or Mommy. I am elated. I am finally and officially, "Mommy".

Here are a few pics from her 2nd birthday party and from the 4th of July. I can't believe she's 2. She's still my baby. Always.

Waiting for the fireworks to start!


Sweet little face, with a big scratch on her nose.


Crazy girl, her personality is really fun!


Singing with Mommy!


Watching fireworks with Daddy. A little scared, but she did great!
Thank goodness Barney was there!
