22 months old

Avery Jo is 22 months old today

• She is such a good big sister. She loves to love on her brother, hold him and help bring things to me.
• She says "Oh" alot, usually when she starts a sentence or cries out.
• Her favorite songs to sing are "Cuckoo clock" "ABC's" and "Ring around the rosie"
• She started saying "mine" and "my turn" this month. sharing is a hard concept for toddlers but she is learning and doing good at it!
• Avery's favorite toys are her "make-up" and cell phone. She walks around with an empty bare minerals compact and buki brush and loves to "pretend" to put it on her face. She also walks around talking on her phone, she will giggle and say "thats funny".
• Avery has loved all her time with both sides of grandparents this month while we took care of her brother.
• Avery did her first somersault, on accident, she was doing her "trick" where she bends over, head on the floor and puts her arms out straight from her sides. She accidentally pushed off with her feet and did a forward roll. She loved it.
• She is very good at telling you "bless you" if you sneeze, especially her brother. If he sneezes and she's in the other room you'll hear her yell out "bless you bubba"
• She is obsessed with Elmo, Dora, Minnie Mouse and "old mcdonalds farm" (which is a video of nursery rhymes she got from Auntie Cici and Uncle A)! She has an Elmo book that has lost a few pages, but she still loves it!
• Avery learned how to jump this month, she can actually jump off the ground!
• Avery can sing her alphabet and only misses a few letters, she can also count to 10 and spell her name!
• Her favorite book (this week) is "Not Me" by Nigel McMullen which she calls the "jack book", I'm a little worried though because the book is about an older brother who blames all his mishaps on his little brother!
• BIG NEWS, yesterday morning when Avery got up she decided she was all done with her pacifiers. She threw them in the trash can and said "bye bye paci". She did great for her nap and last night without them. I am so proud of my big girl. She only used a paci when she slept and I wasn't planning on trying to get rid of them for awhile. She can definitely surprise us!
• I can't believe my little girl will be 2 years old in just 2 months!!!

Instead of posting pics of Avery from this month I will post pics of both kiddos at the end of each month and make a post of its own. So be watching, I'll try to post a link to those pics in a few days!
