Finally....

I don’t even know where to start…Avery is 18 months and growing like a weed. She is just hilarious! Some of her favorite things: reading books, being outside, riding in her wagon, shopping, playing with friends or should I say bullying her friends, and can’t forget DANCING! The girl LOVES to dance…anything to do with dancing or music, count her IN! We still enjoy going to storytime, seeing our friends on playdates, going to the zoo, Hawiian Falls (our local waterpark) and Little Gym (although we are looking into gymnastics!)

We have recently moved, so we are all getting adjusted to our new house and schedule. Avery started pre-school this year and she is doing great…teach says she’s a pro! She goes 2 days a week from 9 to 2:30. I thought it was going to be a tough one, but on the 1st day of school, she gave me a hand wave and said bye-bye. When I went to pick her up, she didn’t even want to leave. We get a daily report on activities and fun she had for the day, which is nice. We are already working on a collection of art.

This summer our family vacation was awesome! We went to Schlitterbaun and Sea World. Avery had a BLAST! She LOVED Shamu….even today if you ask her “How do you call Shamu?” She moves her hands up and down. Avery and Brad really got to spend sometime together and bond. I would have to say she is slowly becoming more of a Daddy’s girl, but I also think it’s because she is realizing he is a softy and does whatever she wants.

Avery is a bit of a chatter box these days. Her new favorites are: what? and why? aren’t we so lucky!!! She loves to repeat everything you say. Brad and I have really been watching our vocabulary and haven’t heard a curse word yet, but we will see how long that lasts (not that we just curse a lot, but sometimes a word does slip out here and there).

We have just gotten a new addition to the family….Papa bought Avery a beta fish, his name is Red. Avery not only LOVES her bubba Chief, but also her new fishy Red.

Hopefully, now that things are starting to settle down from the crazy summer we had, I can do a better job of updating the blog. Here are some recent pics...still working on finding all my picture CD's from the move…..Love you all and see you soon!

What's New

Avery is just a hoot a growing like a weed! She is just learning all kinds of new things everyday....she gives high five, talks up a storm (loves to mimic), loves to be outside, read books and boy can that girl eat!

As most of you know Avery has been sporting a mullet for quite sometime. At the one year mark we were supposed to cut it. Well her hair is finally coming in and the mullet is slowly fading, so we have put the first cut on hold.

Our 1 year check up went well...she is still petite for her age, in the 25 percentile, proportionate from head to toe. Avery is an eater....constantly eating....I just don't know where it all goes.

We are still keeping pretty busy and loving every minute of it. Swim classes are going well. Avery loves the water and is just a natural. The Little Gym classes are so much fun....she is becoming such the little acrobat. We still go to storytime and have met all kinds of new friends.

Way too Long...

Well it's been way too long since we have posted anything....we have just been some busy lil BEE's. Let's see where do I even begin. My camera broke, so we have missed some shots, but that's ok ITA was right there to step in.

Avery is starting to talk alot more, definitely has the walking down and is working on running...she always wants you to chase her. Her cousin Kyler has shown her how to play with cars. The other day I caught her with her sippy cup, pushing it like a car and saying VROOM, VROOM! it was hilarious! She is about done with the bottles...we are down to 1 a day, done with baby food and diapers (oops! getting too far ahead of the game, just joking on the last one!) Some of her favorite things: read books, read books and read books, bananas, climb the stairs, take a bath, play with her cousins and her BUBBA chief, and ride in her wagon and car! We just started swim lessons and are looking forward to summertime at Hawaiian Falls! we had sooo much fun last year, this year is gonna be even better!

Avery recently turned 1! I can't believe it....my baby girl is just getting so big....this past year just flew by. These past couple of months...we have been busy working on getting ready for her 1st birthday party. We had her party last weekend and then headed down to San Antonio for a family BBQ this weekend. I would say both events went well, we had great turn outs and we are all just pooped out!

So I am getting to work on sorting out all the pictures and will get my act together and start posting them for you all to see....escpecially her 1 year photos!
