She loves putting her food on her head....

favorite game

This is Avery's favorite game to play. She runs and hides behind her chair then raises and expects an applause from everyone. She is a performer for sure.

Silly

Avery loves to stick her food on her head. Here is some mac n cheese.

Obviously I take too many pictures because she makes squinty faces when I pull my camera out. I guess she is anticipating the flash.

Avery also loves to take the laundry in and out of the dryer. So cute

Monkey

This little monkey has learned how to climb on the couch. She jumps and flops and giggles and  bounces around (usually off the couch to where I have to make some diving catches). She is WILD!

Big girl

Just the usual nightly thrashing of the house.....and dog

Valentines & Firetrucks

Valentines Day we came home to a firetruck across the street (didnt look like a big deal). Avery had a great time sitting at the window waving and talking to it. I think she liked the lights.

DeeDee's Daycare

We have been so so so so lucky to have my parents keep Avery while we are at work. Avery adores them and I don't know how would have survived this past year without them here. Here are some pictures from last week of Avery at DeeDee's daycare.

 My mom has been amazing with Avery from day 1. And with me. Thank God for moms. I don't know how anyone goes through this without their mom to call for every neurotic freak out you have as a new mom.

 They started going to Mother Goose at the library. This is what Avery does when you take her anywhere....she wants to RUN!

 wore them both right out

this picture reminds me....see how she sleeps with her hands behind her head. So cute. This is her new favorite sleeping position. Everynight when I rock her she does about 800 flips and turns and swats and pulls......then when she finally settles down, she throws her hands behind her head as she starts to doze. Love it. Here she is in a pic of the monitor (which I am obsessed with).
