My Baby is TWO!!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Avery Ryan!!!!

How can it be that my tiny baby is two years old today??? Where has the time gone? I was in awe of this tiny little thing two years ago and still am! I can't believe it has been 2 years since I held that tiny 7lb. 1 oz. little bundle of joy in my arms. Now, I have to beg her to sit in my lap for 5 seconds! I love her more today than I ever knew possible! I truly can not explain the love I have for this child! She has stolen my heart and I never ever want it back! She is the absolute best thing in my life! I am so humbled and thankful that I was chosen to be her mommy! I remember that day, not as good as I would like, but can still go back to that moment when I met our sweet sweet girl! I had no idea what we were getting our selves into. I had no idea just how amazing it was going to be! I remember just looking at her as the nurses cleaned her off and weighed and measured her thinking "oh, my goodness, that child is mine!!!" I was so mixed with the amazing miracle I had just witnessed and terrified beyond belief at the same time! Knowing that I loved her and would lay my own life down for her, but still having no idea just how amazing it really was!! I remember watching Ryan just stare at her with tears in his eyes, just looking at his baby girl! I know they were tears of love and joy! I can not explain that amazing miracle that happened that day! Thank you God for blessing our lives soooo deeply! I remember holding her for the first time, she was so precious and so sweet and smelled sooo sweet! She was so tiny and helpless! Her whole life and well being laid in our hands! We were totally responsible for her! What a scary and amazing feeling! I loved that child so much, but today two years later I love her even more! I would do anything for this girl...anything with out a second thought! I am so thankful for the last two years with Avery! She has taught me sooooooo many things! She is the most amazing gift ever! She has turned from that tiny helpless little baby into an amazing, independent, strong willed, loving, joyful, sweet, beautiful, smart two year old! She amazes me everyday with how smart she is and how kind and loving she is! I still can not believe that God chose me to be the mother of this perfect little child of His! So, on your second birthday Avery I look back over the past two years with such fond memories! You made me a mommy!!! =) You have blessed my life and every single day for the past two years! Thank you for being the most amazing little girl I have ever laid eyes on! Thank you for showing me what it feels like to love some one soooo deeply it hurts!! Thank you for opening my eyes and heart!! I love you more than anything, you mean the world to me! Happy, happy, happy birthday honey!!!!!
