Avery: The 16th and 17th Months

Today, Avery is 17 months old! We love her more and more everyday. She is in the phase where she repeats a lot of what we say. She has learned the word pretty, box, water, baby, please and thank you, and more.


She loves to laugh and be silly with mom and dad. She has recently begun to say hi and bye to everyone she sees.


Avery loves to take things out of boxes (like band-aids) and put them back in. At daycare, she usually helps clean up toys before she leaves and helps find missing shoes. She is very alert and always seems to know what is going on around her.


Here is Avery on Easter Sunday. She looks so tall in this picture! 


Avery and her dad went to paint a piece of pottery for me as a mother's day gift. What a sweet idea! Matt was so brave to do this with a toddler. 

I look forward to the next months of her growth and development as I will be staying home with Avery full time. I will share more about that in my next post!
