Magical Words

Avery said the most magical words a parent can hear for the first time yesterday..."I Love You". Artie and I have been waiting for this to happen since we tell her we love her like a million times a day! She's such a chatter box and picks up everything, but for some reason was waiting to say these words. That's fine because they came yesterday, a day that-clearly from my last post-was kind of a dark day for me...so to hear "I love you, mommy" made all of the darkness go away and melted my heart. When I got her out of bed this morning. I told her I loved her-like every morning when I get her up-and she said it back, so I know yesterday wasn't just a fluke:)!! I'm one happy mama right now!! Don't worry about Artie being left out because once he came home from work, Avery greeted him with an "I love you, daddy" and Spencer was not to be left out either as she told him "I love you baby Spencie"...I know it will be a really long time until Spencer can say I love you, but I can't wait!!

Oh my gosh- I bet that was incredible to hear! I am so thrilled for you! I am currently just waiting to hear my guy utter anything remotely sounding like Mama- instead I am typically greeted with- buh-bye.. buh- bye!

Oh my goodness! How incredible Steph! I can't imagine how that made you and Artie feel and what perfect timing!!!

Colten wanted me to tell Spencer that he has the same blanket bear and that he takes it with him in the car all the time!

I loved talking to you the other night!! Love you guys so much!
