Dear Avery, Do You Know....

Dear Avery,

Do you know...

How much joy you bring to me? When I look at you, it is utter joy and sheer happiness. I am amazed each and every day how much more joy you bring me, even more than the day before.

Do you know....

That I would do anything for you? There is no limit to what I would do for you, if you needed me. If it meant I could shield you from pain, or protect you from harm, even if it meant me finding pain or harm myself, I would do it for you.

Do you know...

That there isn't a day that goes by that I don't thank God for giving me you? I am so honored that God picked me to be your mom and I thank Him for it, every single day.

Do you know...

How loved you are? I didn't know I could love as much as I love you. Sometimes, I feel like I am going to drive you nuts with kisses and hugs, because its all I can do not to hold you and love on you every minute of every day.

Do you know...

How much fun it is to watch you grow up? You are so entertaining, so amazing. To watch you learn to sit up, learn to talk, anything. It is my favorite thing.

Do you know...

How lucky I am? You were my very best surprise I have ever had in my whole, whole life.

Do you know...

How much I love your daddy and how much he loves you? I love him for so many reasons, and a big one is because he gave me you. And when I watch his face when he holds you and plays with you, it is pure happiness.

Do you know...

How much I am looking forward to getting to know you? You are like, the coolest person already. And it just gets better every day.

Love,

Mommy

Guess Who Has A New Potty???

This girl!! Jason and I took Avery to Target tonight to find a potty chair. We didn't know what kind to get. When we got there, she loved the Sesame Street one. It's the kind that sits on the toilet, not an actual chair. I've heard both reasonings on a chair and a pad for the real toilet. On one hand, the chairs are little and easier for them to sit on and they aren't scary to flush. On the other, the pad doesn't require you to have to clean out a chair and they teach kids to sit on the big potty from the get go. What it really came down to was that we just don't have a big bathroom at all, so keeping an actual chair in the bathroom would have been hard. So we got the pad. It has a little hook that you attach to the tank, so you can hang the pad on it. I love this! I have no intention of actually potty training Avery full out, just yet. I don't think she is ready. But I have heard it's good to have one that they can practice sitting on and get u...

Some Changes...

We've been going through a bit of a transition at the Whitehead household the last month or so. I haven't really talked too much about it because I wasn't ready, to be honest. It's just a lot of change and I've been trying to figure it out in my head. As of three weeks ago last Friday, I am no longer a full time work out of home employee. I can't believe I just said that. It's been the plan for several months now for me to go into real estate and it was always assumed I'd be doing that part time, while keeping my full time job. Plans kind of changed when Jason got his promotion. He'd always has a job that allowed him a lot of flexibility. In sales, especially after you've been in a position for a while, it just sort of happens that way. He could take Avery to daycare and pick her up, he could take her to doctor's appointments, he could even do chores around the house in the afternoon, while I was at work. I had some flexibi...

Just a little bathroom project....

Raise your hand if this is what your bathroom looks like after every round of baths at your house????
