Avery's First Laptop

Although Avery is still slightly under the weather she seemed to enjoy playing with one of Grandpa's old laptops. Before long she will be a computer-pro.

Poor Sick Avery

On Friday night after our family walk I noticed that Avery had a fever. Her temperature was 102.5 so on Saturday morning I took her to the doctors and found out that she had a virus. So this weekend we took it easy and tried to make Avery as comfortable as possible. All in all she was in good spirits considering she was sick.




She spent some time playing outside with her daddy and some bubbles which seemed to make her feel better.




She listened to some books which is one of her most favorite things to do.




Here Chris was playing with her when she took an interest in his mouth, she found the inside of his mouth to be fascinating. She couldn't resist a quick touch.




I think she sees a cavity (just kidding)

A Fun New Toy

Thanks to my dear friend Abby, Avery loves her new toy. You drop small plastic balls and watch them travel in different directions. It lights up and plays music. Avery loves playing with it!

What Grandparents Will Do

Grammie and Grandpa came over this afternoon for a visit. After an exhausting night at work and only a few hours of sleep Grammie thought she would get creative when feeding Avery her lunch. It worked!




Avery enjoyed playing with her grandparents very much!

Afternoon Nap

These are a few pictures I took after Avery woke up from her afternoon nap.
What a cute smile!



Avery likes to point at everything now. She normally walks around the house (with someones help) pointing in the direction she wants to go.



Avery tends to sleep on her stomach. She tucks her hands in close to her chest and sticks her butt up in the air. It's really rather funny. Here you can see her hand print from where she was sleeping on her arm.

Independent Eater

Avery has began feeding herself. I can put small pieces of food on her tray and she will pick them up with her fingers. She likes having a little food in both hands and then she takes turns shovels one hand after the other into her mouth. I would say only 70% actually makes it while the rest lands on the floor for the dog to eat later. It's fun to watch her but meals tend to take forever.

Walking!

Avery took her first steps yesterday, three full steps towards her mother. These were not falling forward steps, she was standing on her own and took three deliberate steps. It was very exciting.
