Changes

The past few weeks Avery has been making some big changes. She is showing us how much she really understands the things going on around her.

Earlier this week Avery picked up her swimming bag and starting walking to the front door with it, while waving and blowing kisses at me.

Yesterday Avery packed Daddy's laptop bag for work. She included his test strips, phone, a hair bow and a teething ring :) Then waved as he left for work.

She has also learned where we keep the keys for the garden door and realized she is tall enough to reach them. She now picks up the keys, walks to the door and uses the keys to unlock the door. Ok, granted she is not actually unlocking the door but she definitely gets the overall idea.

Avery also now loves the bathroom and kitchen. Two places we would like to keep her out of. Recently she discovered pushing the buttons on the washer/dryer (in the kitchen). This is all fun and games until she hits that horrible button that locks and unlocks the door. It makes a clicking noise that for some strange reason sends her immediately into tears!


Our weather has been absolutely beautiful lately. Great temps in the upper 70's and mostly sunny. Ok, I admit we do get some rain but overall I can't really complain. On the weekends we try to get out to the Heath for picnics and play time.

Recently we also revisited one of the city farms. Avery was not very impressed the last few times we visited the farm or zoo but for some reason this time she LOVED it!

She wanted to pet every goat. The only time she got worried was if they got too close to her face. This gives us hope that she will remember Pepper who she hasn't seen in over eight months, and I'm not exactly sure what she remembers from eight months ago!
