Avery's 2nd Birthday

I can't believe our little one is two years old! She is the sweetest energetic little girl.  She's really starting to be her own person-good and bad when it comes to boundaries ;).  We took her to her 2 year appointment and she's doing well.  Her projected adult height is 5'4'' and she's right around 24 lbs. now. This morning we went to have some blood drawn for allergy and celiac panel.  They'll give us the results in a week.  We're just so lucky to have a happy healthy little girl!
Saturday evening was Avery's 2nd birthday party at our house.  We ended up just grilling out and it couldn't have been more perfect.  There was a 50% chance of rain, but it held off for us.  Avery had the best time playing with her little friends and spending time with family.  Thank you to everyone who helped out with the party.  I couldn't have done it with out you.
Please continue to keep Amy in your thoughts and prayers.  She had her first head and neck radiation treatment yesterday.  She will have 5 days in a row of treatments then a little break, then 5 days again for 3 weeks.
One last aside, I went to the OB yesterday and I am already 3 cm dilated and 90% effaced. The doc says she hopes I make it through this weekend!  She's predicting he'll come on his own next week, but the plan is to induce if we get to 38 1/2 weeks and nothing has happened. We will keep everyone posted :).
