Dear sweet daughter,
The past few weeks have been a little emotional (understated!) for us as we prepare for baby Hannah Alice & realize that our little girl is growing up. The past 2 1/2 years with you have been far greater than we could have ever expected. The joy you bring us is like none other, and we thank God daily for what He has taught us through being your Mommy & Daddy.
- Love for life, your family & friends
- Good nature - most of the time:)
- Love of singing and dancing
- Moving into your "big girl" room
(1-month-old)
- Inquisitive questions about Hannah & practicing your big-sis techniques with your baby dolls & animals
- Request to say prayers before nap & bedtime...& "pretending" to hold Daddy's hand during prayers if he's not home
- Giving up the paci in 1 day - 5/9/10 (because we forgot to pack one for Grammie & Biggie's house)....you asked about it for only 3 days - Mommy & Daddy were probably more sad about it than you...who knew!?!
- Asking each night, "Where are we going tomorrow??"....like, "What's on the agenda?"
- Potty training - you're not in a huge hurry, but you'll get it eventually:)
Oh, there's so much more we could say, but for the sake of boring you....
We love you angel girl, & are so proud of the "big girl" you are becoming!
Some of our recent memories & favorites about you....
- Love for life, your family & friends

Avery- you a such a lucky girl! And congrats on giving up the paci- what a big girl!!!
She is beautiful and seems so sweet. I know she will be a great big sister. I'm guessing you are days away right? Although from the looks of the last post...you hardly look pregnant. You know that's not fair to look that good full term, right? :) Best wishes on your labor and delivery of baby Hannah. Can't wait to see her!
WHat a sweet post. I love it! Avery is going to be a great big sister!
Awww...I remember those emotions! Avery is such a beautiful little girl and is going to be such a good big sister. Good luck and can't wait to hear the good news!!
What a special post! I remember feeling that way our last few days as a family of 3 and then just like that the amount of love you have in your heart just doubles!!! Can't wait for Baby Hannah!
Oh how the time has flown by..... It seems like only yesterday when Avery looked so big in that boppy and now we are excitedly awaiting Hannah to have her turn! Avery - a precious little girl whom we adore! And now we will have two darling girls to spoil! XOXO
How sweet! You just think she is a big girl now, she gets to be even bigger as a Big Sister! I think literally too, as I swore my mom and mother-in-law gave Hallie extra food and lots of treats for she seemed so much heavier in two days. Can't wait to meet baby Hannah!!!!
Avery...you are AWESOME!!!
Made me cry!
Oh, this sweet post brought tears to my eyes. Love you, sweet Leslie Family!!!
Avery is going to be a great big sister - she is just adorable! Will be thinking of the family this week as Hannah makes her big entrance!
Avery - you're so lucky to have such a sweet and thoughtful mommy and daddy! I know you are going to be an awesome big sister. "Big Girl Avery" is going to have to find a new nickname for you because you are definitely not a baby anymore!
Oh, so sweet! I have tears in my eyes! We'll be praying for you and baby Hannah tomorrow. Get ready for lots more emotions!!
I love this post. We enjoyed the videos of Avery dancing around. I especially like the pic of Avery in the pool with Boppy in the background cleaning it, haha.
Congratulations, we heard everything went well and Hannah is here! Cant wait to meet her!
