"I a 'Dee'"

Yesterday, our playgroup had a halloween party for the kids. They all got dressed up and got to play, color and trick-or-treat. They all had so much fun. Avery was so cute, when you would ask her was she was, she would proudly say "I a 'Dee'". 

Ketchup...Please?

I don't know what the deal is with kids and ketchup, but my Avery caught the bug. We went out to lunch on Sunday after church and she was eating ketchup with her potato wedges. But the next thing we knew she had a spoon scooping up the ketchup! The funniest part was that she was so proud of herself for using the spoon. 

'Fall'ing for You

Today was the first day in so long Avery was able to play outside. Her and I were both thrilled! It was the perfect day at about 60 degrees, the wind was down and the sun was out! She was having so much fun throwing the leaves in the air and crunching them with her feet. Everyday I am reminded how truly blessed we are to have her and to share in all of her joy! Her laughter is contagious. 

Bounce!

I know it has been a while since I have posted new updates. Last week I had all four of my wisdom teeth extracted. I have to admit, it was quite a bit more painful and recovery was much harder than I expected. But now, a week and a half later, I am much better and almost 100%! 

It seems as though everyday Ave has new words and much more to say! Some of her new favorite words are 'tractor', 'elmo', 'daddy' rather than 'dada', 'kitty' and 'baby'. Yesterday I took her to Bounce with a few our of friends from playgroup and she had a blast! The first time we took her, she had a hard time keeping her balance but now she is an old pro and I can hardly keep up!

Ave is so outnumbered!

On Saturday, we went to the Corn Maize and had a blast! Ave absolutely loved it, but I think Ben had the most fun of all! Must be a country thing, he felt right at home with all that hay. We rode on the cow train, which was Ave's favorite, everytime she would see it she would say, "choo-choo, moo". We played in the corn box and the hay jump and left extremely dirty!

1st Trip to the Dentist

 

Examining her new toothbrush

Showing her pretty teeth

Today I took Avery to her very first dentist appointment. She did okay...well, besides screaming hysterically when the doctor tried to look in her mouth. I figure she'll eventually get used to that. But she really liked his assistant and loved getting to pick out a new toothbrush and a toy! And now the rest of the day, she has shown EVERYONE her teeth and she will say "teeths, pretty" like they are some big, new discovery!
