walking and talking...

Avery's favorite thing to do is walk around the house and "talk" on her phone! she will gab gab gab and then say "mama"! its too funny! she also loves to try to catch target, he is usually too fast for her but he's going to have to watch out because she is getting faster at walking!!

Avery meets santa

We took Avery to have her picture taken with Santa a few weeks ago! She did surprisingly well! I expected a meltdown but she sat very good until the end. They took alot of pictures but then the computer froze so we only got to pick out of 3!!! here is the one we chose;

too funny!!

Avery and Emily

Avery just loves Emily, and loves having her ride in the car with her. I took this video on Friday.... love Ave's giggles;

MAUI

I haven't been keeping up with my blog lately :( but I figured it was time to add some new info! I just recently got back from a mini vacation!!! My friend, Nicole was going to Maui (her dad/stepmom and brother live there) and she asked if I wanted to go with her! Who says no to MAUI? I hopped on her flight (standby of course) and got to spend 4 amazing days in maui. We did lots of hiking and seeing the beauty maui has to offer. Avery stayed behind to have some alone time with daddy. It was the longest I've ever been away from her and I missed her ALOT! Here are a few pics from my trip;

13 months

Our lovebug is now 13 months old! I'm going to try to keep these updates going for another year... we'll see if I can do it!

• Avery is quite the chatterbox, she sure has alot to say
• Lately, she has been eating everything she can see. I'm thinking it may be a growth spurt but she is constantly hungry! She's also definitely not a picky eater, so far!
• She is walking like crazy!
• Her hair is getting a little bit thicker now
• She has started grinding what few teeth she has! It drives me nuts but she melts down if I tell her to stop!
• I can't wait for christmas this year, I think Avery will really enjoy it
• She can sign please, put her hands over her ears when we say "earmuffs" and even does the "choo choo" sign when she sees a train!
• If you show her a duck she will try to say it, she says "du" sometimes it sounds like she adds a "k"
• Her two favorite words are still mama and dada!
• She would probably be completely content all day if someone was reading to her!! She LOVES books! I will walk into the living room and she is sitting in a sea of books!

stairs

We don't have stairs at our house but apparently Avery knows exactly how to get up them! She's only tried a couple of times before this and never made it past the first 2 steps... but she knows how to get to the top NOW...
