Avery's walking!

Nana and Papa
Nana Judy and Papa Bob visited us last week to help with Avery while Guy was away at Young Life camp. During the week Avery got really good at saying "Nana" and "Papa", in fact, she started making "Nana" sound more like "NAAAAANAAAAA" and then a quick "Papa". At the end of the week we blew up a new mini-pool avery was given for her birthday and while having fun there she started echoing my mom with "naaaanaa". I caught it on video- too funny!

More swim video!
Wanted to post another quick video clip of Avery yesterday in swim class. The teacher encouraged us to try and float the kids on their back to see if they would get used to their head getting wet. This is the step prior to dunking them under the water. Avery was amazing! I put her on her back and she just layed there, so mellow, like she was waiting for me to bring her food and drink- ha! She just looked at me- not afraid at all. Check it out...
Averys swim lessons
This has been a fun week as I've taken Avery to her first swim class! The class is Mon-Thur from 10:20-10:50 at the local community center and it's been great. Guy is out of town at Young life camp so my mom and dad are here and it's been fun for them too. They've done a great job taking pics and video at the edge of the pool. The greatest thing is that Avery LOVES the pool! She smiles and laughs and even loved being dunked under! (mommy was the most nervous about that part but Avery did great). Here is a short clip of class yesterday.

Stairs!
Our new house has 2 sets of stairs so we've had to get the baby gates going and watch Avery closely. Turns out she loves them and is pretty agile. She can only go near them when we are right nearby. It's so cute to see her scurry up- with us right behind her. I like that the stairs are carpeted- more padding for her. She's quick and strong. i think we have a little athlete on our hands!
Almost Walking!
We've had such fun watching Avery develop every single day. It seems each day brings more words (Nana, Papa, Daddy, Mama, Baba, Ouch, Hot, cheese, shade) She's a talker! She's also started using her two "push" toys- encouraging her to stand up and take a few steps while holding on. It's very exciting to see her so confident and strong. Check her out!

Adventures with Avery
We got a few short snippets of video during Avery's first easter egg hunt with Guy's office. It was a bit difficult because it had been raining in the days prior so the grass was wet and muddy. We didn't want avery getting all dirty so we would bend her down over the eggs so she could grab them- not exactly the most graceful egg hunt, but she LOVED holding the eggs. She wouldn't even put them in the basket- she wanted to hold them the whole time. Classic!

Fun in the Sun with my Nana
Sunny days are here again!
Fun with Nana
Nana Judy is visiting this week and we've been having a great time! I always love when my mom visits because Avery gets to spend time with her Nana and it gives me support and help. Avery has been crawling up a storm and Nana has been spending a lot of time around the house watching her crawl. We have an area set up in the living room that is safe for Avery to crawl freely- basically a circle of furniture as barriers. On this day, we brought her into the other room to crawl around, but kept having to turn her around when she found a non-baby proofed area. She's also babbling alot and has a few key words- "Hi!" and "up" when we pick her up. It's amazing to see her develop. I hope you will enjoy this new video!

She's Crawling!!

Pretty in Pink- my yoga baby
Avery and I played dress up the other day, putting her in a pink hat and dress that are a bit too big but so darling on her! I couldn't resist taking some candid pictures as she played. She is 9.5 months now and each day her personality gets more engaging. She is laughing, babbling and crawling backwards! We love watching her each day. The other picture is what I call "yoga baby". As she learns to crawl and sit up, she continues to explore how her legs and feet work together. She was playing and grabbed her foot into what looked like a yoga position. Who knows what she'll try next?!
Special time with Nana Judy

Belly Laughs and the towel
Today Avery and I were hanging out at home and she was feeling a bit fussy so I put her on my lap while I folded some laundry. The funniest thing happened. I folded a towel and patted it down to straighten it and Avery cracked up so hard! It's the best belly laugh I've heard from her. I patted the towel again and she cracked up again! It was so random and funny that I slyly got the video camera and got some fun footage. I hope this makes you laugh too!
