Right now as I type this, you are up way past your bedtime and you are throwing a ball around the living room and running to get it! It seems to be your new favorite game!
We had a busy weekend. Tiffany and Christian were here. You LOVE Tiffany. When she's around you want all of her attention. Your Aunt Leah (Daddy's sister) had a baby boy (Ethan) on Saturday. Lola (your counsin) spent the whole weekend with us, so it was hectic!!!
Friday night you were up for THREE hours in the night!!! Daddy and I couldn't figure out what was wrong and we felt bad that you weren't able to sleep. We tried everything and eventually you fell asleep in between us in our bed.
Last night we went to church and then ordered pizza like we normally do on saturday nights. You do so well at going to your class at church and you always seem to have a good time.
Today you went to the store with Daddy and to do a couple of errands. You love to go places alone with Daddy and get so excited when you're getting ready to leave.
You are dressed now in your little heart jammies and you look really cute. You are SO pretty and your hair is adorable. It's so long!!! You love Adilynn and you guys have really started to play more and more lately.
You are 18 months old now and I can't believe it. You are growing up so fast and mommy loves you so much. You are my little firecracker.
I love you,
Mommy

Sweet Pea
Avery-
Today you slept till 8:00 am!! (yay for mommy!!) We had a fun day at home and went out and did some errands. Aunt Heather came over for dinner and we had tacos. You love the meat, beans and rice, even though you make a big mess with it.
You took a nap for almost 3 hours and was in a really good mood when you woke up. You and Adilynn took a bath together and then you ran around naked after your bath! You and Adilynn played and played, and pushed your babies around in your strollers.
I dressed you in your jammies and daddy tucked you in bed. You have started saying "night-night" when we lay you down. It's the sweetest thing.
You have started saying "hello" when you pick up a phone, and yesterday you saw a baby and said "a baby!"
Yesterday I took this picture while we were in the van. We were on our way home from Wal-Mart and I looked back and you and Adilynn were holding hands!!!
You had a follow up appointment last week for your pneumonia and sinus infection. You got the all clear and you are totally healthy. And you weigh 23 pounds!
You have been pulling out the bathroom drawers and then standing in them. And you also climb on your bookshelf and stand on top of it!! You like to climb on it. You also stand on the drawer on the stove, grab the handle and hoist yourself up to look on the countertop. It's so cute!!!
You are a blessing and I love you!!!

This weekend
Sis,
You are tucked in bed asleep as I type this. Daddy called me into your room to look at how you were sleeping. It's so cute!!
We spent the weekend at home, with Tiffany and Christian. You slept until 8 am yesterday (saturday)! It was SO nice!! You played all day and then we went to church last night. You do really well at going to your class and you don't cry. After church we got pizza from Dominos.
Today we were at home because it was too cold to go do anything. You took a nap and then we had tacos for dinner. Daddy gave you a bath and then tucked you in bed.
You are SO much fun. You are so playful and you have the sweetest laugh. You are just starting to become interested in playing with your babydolls, and you carry them around over your shoulder.
We love you so much and you are such a blessing. I am so glad that I am your mom and you are so special!! I love you!

Avery,
Today was a fun day at home. Daddy is still out of town, and won't be back till Friday. You like to "talk" to him on the phone when he calls. Today you woke up at 6:20 but thankfully went back to sleep until about 7:45. You had cereal and a waffle for breakfast. We played all day and cleaned house. You continue to chatter all day long. You slept from 1 to 3 today and then we got ready and go had dinner with Aunt Heather. We ate at Logan's and you did really well. You ate steamed broccoli, rice, sweet potatoe and a hard boiled egg. After that we went to Aunt Heather's for awhile, and even Nana stopped by. You played with Belle and with Nana. We came home and you had some oatmeal, then went to bed. You were a sleepy baby.
You will be 18 months on the 10th. I can't believe it. You can say mama, dada, adilynn (ada), byebye, papa, nana and lots of other words. You repeat a lot of what we say. You also like to throw things away, and throw things away that you shouldn't!! Like our silverware!
We will all be glad when Daddy gets back on Friday.
You are snug in bed. I love you. You are becoming sweeter and sweeter everyday.
Love,
Mommy

A busy day
Avery-
You were so sweet today. Once again, you spent all day playing and chattering up a storm!! You love to follow Adilynn around and do what she does. Today you guys cleared everything out of your closet and pretended that was your "house." It was really cute.
We had to wake you up early today because daddy had to go to the airport. He is in Washington all week for work.
You had leftovers for lunch, and for dinner we had eggs, beans, bananas and oranges. You love juice and milk too.
You newest word is "truck" which sounds like "guck." You like to look out the window and look at the squirrels and the birds. When you see one, you say "mama" so I will come over and see them.
You and Adilynn took a bath after a bedtime snack. You still like a bottle with a little bit of warm water in it for bed. You also still like you pacifiers!! I'm trying to figure out how to wean you from them!!
I'm so glad you are my daughter. God blessed me with you.
I love you,
Mommy

The Beginning
Dear Avery,
Today you woke up early, around 7. You have started sleeping in till 7:30 or 7:45 lately, so 7:00 seemed so early to me. I got you out of bed and we played for awhile. Adilynn and daddy were still sleeping so it was just you and me. A rare treat.
We spent our morning at home cleaning and doing little stuff, while you spent your morning chattering up a storm and following Adilynn around. I think your favorite thing to do is to wait until Adilynn has her baby dolls arranged perfectly, and then you run over and grab a doll and take off running! It's quite funny to watch, although Adilynn usually ends up crying!
Daddy and I are working with you on NOT throwing yourself onto the floor when you are upset. We always make you stand up and you usually calm down after that. We like to say that it's a good thing you're cute because it makes us forget your tantrums! But thankfully they are short lived and then you are onto something else.
You took your normal three hour afternoon nap, and then went to Sam's with daddy. You LOVE to go out with daddy. You will follow him around whining until he picks you up because you think he is going to leave without you!
You have been healing nicely from your pneumonia and sinus infection. Antibiotics twice a day for ten days. You do great at taking your medicine for me, probably because of the bubblegum flavor.
We enjoy you so much. You love to wrestle with daddy and for him to chase you.
We are blessed to be your mommy and daddy and we would do anything for you. We pray for you daily that God will always be near to you and that you have a close relationship with Him.
Love,
Mommy
