For those of you that follow this blog closely (ie Chelsea), I apologize for the lapse in posts. For some reason, there were a few posts that got saved as drafts instead of being posted on the blog. I fixed the problem, and those posts are below. That still leaves a little bit of time since posting, but we have been busy. This post should make up for that, but hang on because it's a long one. Avery's first birthday is fast approaching, and we've been busy preparing. We're so excited for it! There has been other news since the last postings as well...Avery is going to have another cousin, making a total of 13 (all 6 and under). Nic and Brooke (as well as Cody and Tasha) are expecting. We are so excited for all the little ones! Take the poll to give a vote on girls or boys for the two cousins to come. Now, on to the star of the show...AVERY!
It appears that Avery has quite a sweet tooth, just like her dad. Jeremy has been giving her sweets lately, probably too many. Here he is giving her a Valentine's sucker. She loved it!
Jeremy and Avery have a new "trick." Any time that Jeremy has a piece of gum, Avery is so fascinated with it. If he sticks part of the gum out of his mouth, she tries to grab it, but not with her hands, with her mouth--so funny!
Avery really loves to help in the kitchen whenever I'm cooking or doing anything in there. Her favorite thing is to help unload the dishwasher--even if the dishes are dirty. So, in order to occupy her time while I'm trying to get things done, Avery has a drawer all of her own. She will spend forever just taking the dishes in and out of the drawer.
During the lapse in posts, Avery has also gotten a couple of new teeth. The top two teeth are coming in. For a while, one of them was coming in a lot faster than the other, so it looked like she was going to be a snaggle-tooth. It was hilarious! However, now she's started to get the second one too. So she's more balbanced. I'm not sure how well you can see the teeth in this picture, but it was the best I could get.
Jeremy and I have worked really hard to give Avery a security object. Supposedly it really helps babies to sleep, especially in new environments, like when visiting grandparents. We obviously don't have any other children to compare it to, but it seems to work--she's pretty attached to her blankie. She is so cute. She lays down on it and cuddles up to it no matter where she is. She gets into her "sleeping position" with her butt up in the air--so cute!
I think that's just about all of the cute pictures that I have for now. I will try not to make any more large lapses in posts, Chelsea (thanks for bringing it to my attention). I'm sure there will be lots to share, with her birthday coming up so soon--hard to believe it's almost been a year!! Stay tuned!
