Silly, silly girl!

We are loving this 18 month age with Avery.  Sure, there are days where she is more difficult than others, but overall, she is really funny!  Let me show you the ways!

Recently, Avery wants to help us with our chores, inluding picking up and putting everything into empty clothesbaskets.  Sometimes this includes mama.


Or sometimes Avery and mama!


Avery also loves to dance and sing and yell and giggle.  This is her dancing at Auntie Ashley's condo on her birthday.


For each holiday, Ga and Papa C. send Avery stickers.  She has recently begun really understanding how they work.  Or so we thought she did.


Avery has done a really great job of using her utensils.  She can manipulate her fork and spoon to get every last piece of food during meals.  Well, except when it is yogurt or oatmeal I guess...



Bath time is a time for all or her friends.  And every night we say hi to them, wash them and kiss them goodnight.


Even though we give her a bowl for her snacks, sometimes it is just easier to lay them out all over our table.


For the past couple months, Avery has loved putting shoes on.  She tries every night and usually all of her shoes end up in the living room.  The other night she decided she was going to wear daddy's slippers instead.


A few weeks ago, we celebrated Lucas' third birthday.  They were so excited to play together!


Sharing her toys with Aunt Judy and Aunt Donna


Avery made Lucas a book for his birthday full of pictures of the two of them together.  Avery liked reading it with Auntie Robyn...


and then listening to both of her GiGi's read it to her over and over again!
I love this picture!!!  <3


And speaking of reading, Avery reads all the time!  Instead of us or papa reading to her,



she has begun reading to us.  It is the sweetest thing I have every heard.  Each morning and afternoon on the way to daycare, this is what she does.



Love from Bloomington!

Winter, winter, where are you?

With the up and down temperatures lately, we are not quite sure what season it is, or how to dress!  Thankfully,we did get some snow, and Avery was so excited! 


















Avery was so excited to get outside and go for a walk in the little bit of snow that we did get. 



















Another favorite activity for Avery is playing dress up!  She loves this tutu and recently has started wanting to wear mine and Dave's shirts, shoes or jackets! 



















Just a few extra pictures of her super cuteness! 

She loves her new Sesame Street dolls from daddy!


Kisses at dinner  :)

Last weekend while I was grocery shopping, Dave sent this picture.  Avery was having her snack and then proceeded to take out all of my measuring cups and then sort her cereal into the measuring cups using a measuring spoon!
