Blythe Avery Cushing I can't believe you are 2! I am excited because I see how much you’ve grown in the last two years, and I know so many special moments are still to come. But, If I am going to be completely honest, I am kind of sad. You are growing up so fast and there are no longer any babies in my household. The baby days are gone.

Over the last two years, you’ve amazed me in so many ways. You are the sweetest girl but have an attitude that shows me you are strong minded and independent. I know your strength and persistence will serve you well in life.

So what’s next for you? I can’t be sure, really. But I am certain that the sky’s the limit. I know that you will accomplish great things.
If the first two years of your life serve as any indication of what the next two will bring, I have to just push my little bit of sadness aside and embrace the part of me that’s thrilled about your growth. As much as I may wish for my babies to remain babies, I know you can’t be babies forever. You have to learn and explore. You need to grow and figure out who you want to be and what you want from life.

On this special day, I hope you are able to feel every ounce of love that surrounds you. I hope you know that you were born into a family that wants the very best for you.
