Pictures

Here are some pictures that I have taken over the past week or so. Avery and I have had a great time this summer just hanging out playing and reading books. We have a few more weeks to continue the fun!



Avery's eyes have become hazel, they are really pretty.



Avery is talking to the camera. She has been "talking" so much lately. Expressing her wants and need in her own little noisy way.



Avery loves Elmo, watching him on Sesame Street and playing with one of her many Elmo dolls.



What?



Chris brought this cat head home around Halloween, it laughs this crazy laugh. It always scared Avery to the point where she would start to cry and have this look of fear in her eyes. Well the other day Avery got it out and started to play with it. She is no longer scared of it and likes to get it out and make it laugh.





The other day Avery went over to her hippo walker and took out all the blocks that were in his belly and decided to climb in. She then got mad because the hippo wouldn't move when she was trying to walk. It was really funny, i wish i had a picture.

My friend Ella is 2

Avery went to her friend Ella's birthday party today and had a great time. She played with some of Ella's toys and took her first bounce on Ella's big trampoline.

Here she is after the party all wore out from having fun.



This picture is of Ella and Avery from a play date they had a few weeks ago.

Bubbles

Lately Avery has not been enjoying bath time and it has taken both Chris and I to keep her in the tub long enough to wash her. So I decided to try some bubble bath the other day and it worked like a charm.

Spaghetti

For dinner the other night we had spaghetti. Avery wasn't very impressed and most of hers ended up on her tray, hair and the floor. It was her first time eating it so I'm sure her opion will change. Her newest favorite foods to eat are broccoli, peaches and plums.

Playing in Her Dome

Avery still likes playing in her Discovery Dome, although she likes trying to stand in it or holding on to the outside while standing.

The Perfect Walker

Abby gave us a new toy that Avery is loving. It's a blue walker in the shape of a hippo that eats blocks and deposits them into it's belly.

Buffalo Trip

This weekend we went to Buffalo to visit some friends. Avery had a great time meeting some new people and I enjoyed showing her my home town.

Avery did a great job riding in the car. She likes to look out the window and when I read books to her.



Avery had great fun playing with the Abby, Noah and Nick. She played at their house and we went to Noah's school and played on the playground. Both of the boys did a great job playing with her, they loved giving her toys to play with and she loved all the new things to touch and put in her mouth.

Noah wanted a ride on the stroller with Avery.

Avery and Noah playing.




Avery is getting really good at sleeping in hotels. Here she is playing on the bed before she went to sleep.



We took Avery to a neighborhood playground that I played at growing up called Garrison Park to play before we hit the road. Avery was fascinated with her daddy's bubble gum.





Rosie was very happy to see Chris when we got home. So happy that she wanted to sit on his lap.



Avery felt the same way about seeing Rosie and didn't want to leave her side.
