[@natashatagen-dye3437]

As a collegiate level ballet dancer (pre professional), it makes me so so sooo excited that Anavaeh is interested in ballet and dance. Ive been dancing my whole life and it is definitely a commitment so get ready for a longgg, but fun, journey :)

[@amyrivers4093]

Congratulations you obviously have natural talent. I really admire the dedication ballet takes especially to the point you've achieved.

[@nandinos]

She's got a ton of confidence! Love to see it! I think in an earlier "did they change their name" kind of video, she did know that her name was Serenity before. Now that it's been a while and she's older, she only remembers Anavaeh!

[@mollymillar3040]

She’s such a little spit fire! Best personally and I can tell she has such a good heart!

[@DevynDrums]

I can't imagine a little girl or any young child being in foster care and just being forgotten about, I'm so glad someone was able to place her with y'all and that y'all could reunite her with Braxton and bring them both into your family💙💙

@@narcissaclink3653 I thought at 66 I was too old to do foster care. Someone told me to check with the county I live in. I would love to help some children with a home even if it's an emergency placement! I have been making huge tote bags to give to the local agency for kids when they are moved from their homes. I was told that many kids have no suitcase and put their belongings in garbage bags when they are being removed from their homes. I find this so sad.

[@lynnesawri2805]

How could anyone put that sweet girl in a shelter and forget her she was so precious (still is). I absolutely love Anavaeh’s personality and the things she says cracks me up. So glad she became part of your family where she is loved and has grown into the sweet girl she is. ❤️

[@Tia.H]

Shelley, I love that you encourage your children to express themselves in a positive way, you focus on each child giving them one-on-one attention and how open you are about the topic of liking boys and/or girls! By doing this, you're building your childrren's self-esteem, making them feel seen and heard, and making sure that they know tha tthey can come to you about anything that's on their minds without the fear of judgement.

[@micaelaweber1095]

They complete 180 that she did! She was so quiet and shy when you first got her and now her personality is BLOOMING!! Makes my heart sssssoooooooo happy! Way to go Anaveah!!

[@GenniferJordyn]

She’s grown up so much! I love seeing her personality ❤️

[@LolaWeatherly]

Anavaeh is mini Lacey! When I first watched you all, I thought she and Braxton were biological along with Lacey's sibling set and Spencer and Weston since they resemble so much of you and Jared. I love the sassy in her! She is the cutest! She has a very bright personality! I didn't recognize you at first since you showed that throwback vlog, your hair was much darker Shelly! Would you ever go back to your hair that brown color again? I don't think I would recognize you because you would look like Mindee since Mindee has that kinda dark color. I say, Shelly, blonde suits you but you can rock anything! Could you do this for all of the little kids?! I love their sweet personalities. I would love to hear an updated version of Cynthia's Q&A from almost 3 years ago!! Or would love to see a Q&A of Jonathan and Cody, if they feel comfortable being on camera at separate times. Would love to hear them answering some questions since I have some. Also for Brinley and maybe good for Kason and Trey’s hair, maybe you should Mindy McKnight Hairitage treatments because might be helpful for them. I’ve been watching Brooklyn and Bailey a bit so , that’s why I brought it up. Cynthia is such great sister for letting Anavaeh playing songs. Can’t wait for Halloween this year to see what everyone is. The other holidays too ! I love you all! Have a great day!

[@BetteDavis19]

Anavaeh has grown and flourished in ways that she may never fully understand but we see it. When she was little she always seemed scared and on the verge of tears afraid of getting in trouble.

I think Braxton is hearing impaired but dont know about Anaveah. Their biological parents were special needs so they started talking later than other kids.

Anaveah has absolutely flourished since joining this family. I remember at first she was a little hesitant, no surprise, I bet new parents and all those siblings could be overwhelming. I remember there was a period of time way back when where she always seemed to be in time out. Look at her now though! Always smiling, a happy confident girly girl who loves her big family and especially her older sisters. I love how close she and Brinkley are. All the kids are growing up so fast, can’t believe how many are 18+ already and they seem to leave the nest pretty soon after. I did too so shouldn’t be surprised!
