Avery's Mexico Shirt

On our cruise we bought Avery this shirt but this is the first day she could wear it and I still have to use a ribbon in the back.  She looked so cute that I had to take pictures.  She was sad at first but she got happier.

She loves to watch the movie Ratatouille so we watch little segments here and there.

This is the "I'm tire" pose.  She sucks two fingers on her left hand and with her right brings up her blanket to rub under her nose, it is too cute

Abby's First Bread

This is my first bread!!! Mom found the recipe for me and it turned out pretty well.  Every week I make two loaves and I am getting much better but there is still room for improvement. I've also been making recipes out of my new cookbook "Deceptively Delicious."  In each recipe there are vegetable purees... so I have been steaming and pureeing everything.  We had beet pancake for dinner the other night.  Brian said they were good but he couldn't get past the fact that they were pink and had "beets" in them.  Avery liked them so we will be having those again.

She's All Girl

These pictures are for Oma!! I was talking to Oma this day on the phone while Avery and I were on our morning walk. Avery was pushing her little car around that she use to ride in and accidently tripped and scrapped her knee.  This is her first day of scraps so I thought we needed to document it.  I also thought Avery looked so cute in this outfit that I needed to show lots of pictures. 

She's more girl and less baby...how sad

Avery loves her doll

Here's the scrap, it was bleeding but it's okay now

I love her little blue eyes they make me melt

Brian says the people in Haiti use to do this while they worked, they said it was comfortable--apparently Avery agrees.

She has the cutest little faces

LOVE HER

This one is a little blurry but Avery makes this face so much that I thought I would show which part of me she got!!!!

VALENTINES DAY

Avery's first time down the slide by herself

We were visiting the next door neighbor and Avery thought she would stick her face against the screen...well you can see what happened when she did that.

These were the flowers Brian got us, Avery liked this one especially so we let her play with it.

One more time

A COUPLE OF AVERY'S FIRSTS

Avery loves to reach up and get into the makeup drawer. This was the first time she got the lipstick open.  She knew just where it went.

Avery's hair has always been too short so we finally were able to put pigtails and bows in last week.

She did really well letting me put them in.  Our little cutie is growing up!

We were doing laundry so Brian pushed Avery around in the basket, she thought it was great and knew her stuffed animals would feel the same.

This is my new hair cut, I didn't like it at first but I am getting use to it

She cracks me up!!!!
