And She's Off!!!

Avery has officially begun crawling!  It seems like we have been trying to get her to crawl for a couple months now.  Even my friends at work were trying to teach her...

But, every time, she would collapse to the floor and cry.  Then out of the blue last Saturday, she just started crawling.  Here is video proof of her moving Sunday morning!

Now that she has begun moving, everything has changed.  Last week I could put her on the floor in the kitchen and she would play while I was cooking and now she is gone within a minute!  

We also have a few other tricks now.  For example, Avery has discovered that she has control over her tongue and loves to play with it.  Enjoy!

And finally, thanks to Thayre and the baby-sitting kids, Avery can play the "Sooooo Big" game.  Sometimes she just throws her hands up and waits for us to say "Soooo Big!"

Last weekend Avery got to meet her Great Aunt Jan and Uncle Rich and some of Dave's cousins.  Avery definitely has a new buddy!

Other than that, I am officially on summer vacation and looking forward to being a stay at home mommy for awhile.  Avery is too and woke me up at 6:15 this morning and then proceeded to start taking apart my kitchen.  

We are going to visit friends, family, the zoo, the Discovery Museum, splash pads, the pool (in our backyard, thanks to Grandma and Papa C!) and plenty more.  First up for the summer, some planting in our backyard!  I will get pictures up of that soon!  Until then, here are a couple more!

Ready for her soccer days!

Avery and Daddy love playing soccer together.  Sometimes it is hard to tell who enjoys it more!
