This is how to . . .

Baby Avery isn't so "baby" these days. She's really starting to be a little girl, complete with toddler tantrums and all.

She started daycare about 6 weeks ago, and although we wish one of us could be home with her all day, she seems to like going there and is learning a lot. She comes home with a craft or picture almost every day and has recently started singing the ABC song - so at least we're getting something for our money!

Speaking of singing, she's also taken to a song by Sugarland called "Stuck Like Glue" where she claps, dances and sings the "uh-oh" parts.

She also has a lot of new words since the last post - off the top of my head: A-ry (Avery), oop (poop), nas-ee (nasty), doggie and ovv-ooh (love you).

Well, let's get to the good stuff: the photos.

In the airport on our way to our ski-trip in Utah with Grandma Wanda. One of the few times I've gotten her to color.


At the condo in Utah










A place called "Monkey Mountain" - she's too little to ski so we had to find some good entertainment for her. She's holding a random piece of string cheese that she found lying around the place, which she subsequently carried around for the entire 2 hours we were there.






In case you were wondering, this is the proper way to wear 3 pairs of pants at once. And admire your work.


This is how to eat prunes. And be proud of keeping yourself so clean.


This is how to ride the dog like a horse.


This is how to walk around with a bucket on your foot. Not everyone can be so talented.


This is how to be unimpressed in a photo. Ginger took lessons in that course.


This is how to do yard work with a smile.



This is how to be awesome in a "Princess" towel (courtesy of cousin-Shannan).



This is how to have fun in the bath . . .

February Fun

Here's some photos of a few fun events that we've done recently:



getting ready to roll . . .


A visit to the nearby golf course - fun for baby and doggies:








being pulled around on a sled is exhausting


Visit to the Cleveland Childrens Museum - very serious playing happens there.



the "bank teller" pretty sure she could have banged on that keyboard all day. I shutter at the thought of the amount of germs on that thing!


"drivin the RTA bus"


"water exhibit" - pretty much all she wanted to do was to chew on the rubber ducks like she does in the tub. awesome.


"making lunch" is hard work


"grocery shopping" - spent most of her time doing this - was NOT impressed when started trying to put all of the groceries back on the shelf in effort to move on to the next thing.
