Visits from Nanas











We've been blessed recently with visits from both Nana Judy and Nana Patsy/Papa Gilbert. Avery loves spending time with her grandparents- singing songs and showing them all her hand signals. She gets lots of loves, hugs and giggles when nana and papas visit and we love having them spend time with Avery. Here are a few favorite pictures!

Gymnastics Class!







I met a neighbor on our street who has a son just 3 weeks older than Avery. She told me about a toddler gymnastic class nearby and we checked it out. Avery LOVES running and learning how to somersault and I love the social aspect and exercise we both get. Not only is Avery learning how to tumble, but she's also learning things like how to wait in line (not so good yet) and share with others (kind of doing ok). She loves to just run all over the gym and always wants to be with the older kids class. Enjoy these pics of our class!

It's been a long time!







I can't believe it's been 2 months since I've updated Avery's blog! Yikes! It's been a busy season for me with Young Life in full swing and keeping up with Avery as she walks, runs, talks now. Time is flying by!! I dont know where to start to catch everyone up. We've taken lots of pictures since the last post on Sept 5th so I'll have to gradually get some in here. It's November and Avery is very vocal- trying every word she hears us say. She LOVES animals- every day she tells me about "ditties" (kitties), horse (sounds like "hsss), doggies (woof, woofs), and cows "Mooooo!". We go on daily outings on our street to find the 2 orange "ditties". She runs toward them and squats down to get a closer look. Speaking of squatting- she's also very interested in "pee pee in the potty". We won't go into great detail, but suffice it to say we went out to buy a training potty because she's imitating everything I do :-) Avery also had her 18 month check up this week and is doing very well- 32 inches (1 foot growth since birth!), and is a light-weight at 21.8 lbs. The dr is very encouraged by how social and engaging Avery is with everyone- lots of "Hi!" "Buh bye!" and blowing kisses. Never a dull moment with our girl!
