Avery - 18 Months

Yesterday Avery turned 18 months old. It was her half birthday yesterday.

Avery has been learning a lot and seems to be getting bigger every day.

This was Avery's favorite toy at daycare.

She really looks like a toddler now and no longer a baby.

Eating a Snack

I love spending my days with her. She LOVES bubbles. It truly is her new favorite thing.

Playing with Bubbles

She also loves wipes and has to get a new one every time I change her diaper. She walks around "cleaning" things with it. I think she is going to be a GREAT helper one day.

She got her hair cut for the first time just yesterday. It wasn't really a memorable experience. I think I could have done a much better job myself. She wasn't even squirming.

Avery's 1st Haircut

She loves to play outside. However, she dislikes grass. Funny huh?! Matt says that we need to do something to change that for sure.

Avery has been "babbling" sentences a lot lately. I have NO idea what she is saying, but she is absolutely confident in her "babbling." She also uses/repeats a lot of words that we say. Her other favorites are "eat" and "bubbles."

Pretty Girl

She loves and uses the word no a lot lately. Someone I know suggested that we catch her on video and pull it out one day when she is a teenager. "Avery, do you want a car?" "No."  "Avery, do you want to date boys until you are 25?" "No." Ha! I really should do that now.

Avery loves to be on the go. She really doesn't love staying at home. I have to think of errands to run every day just to keep her happy. When we arrive at our destination, she usually yells "YAY!"

We have a little touch and feel book with Bible stories that Matt and I love to read to her. She always points to Noah and calls him "daddy." Do you see the resemblance?

Since I have been home with Avery over the last month, we have had some really fun times with friends. I can't wait to make more memories! I just love our sweet little girl.
