Its safe to say.....

Baby number 2 is on the way! Yes I am feeling absolutely exhausted and sick. Which completely stinks but I know it will be all be worth while. I am due December 16th (that was pretty much Avery's due date) And we just hope and pray I will carry this baby full term. Its scary thinking the baby may come early like Avery. We will just have to wait and see. 

Avery is a big girl.

Avery has officially learned how to climb up on our dinning room chairs.  She hasn't been much of a climber until now. Last night she climbed up on the chair and stood up tall and of corse we scolded her and told her to sit down. But she is very strong minded and didn't listen so we take her off and put the chair up against the table. But Avery always wants her way and I think she is already in her terrible twos and ends up throwing a huge tantrum trowing herself on the ground screaming bloody murder! Its actually quite entertaining. Last night chris also offered Avery a cookie so her new word for cookie is coo-coo. It is hilarious. Avery is growing up so fast she has now started putting words together to make really short sentences.  Like no no puppy. Or mmm yummy. Bye bye daddy. Night night baby. Things like that. She is so stinking' cute. I love her more than she'll ever know.

Avery Loves her Daddy sooo much! When he gets home from work she runs and give him a big hug. She is truly a daddy's girl. She even has a daddy dance she does, which is hilarious. We will have to get that on video.

Daddys Girl

We also went to see the tulips at the tulip festival. Ya there weren't any tulips yet. I hear its been too cold. But we had fun walking around the gardens.  Avery just loved being outside for once and I did too for that matter.  We did find a couple of bunches of flowers. Avery sniffed them and said pretty. And she was awed by the waterfall.

Avery's first trip to the zoo!

So we went to the zoo this weekend for the first time and it was sooo much fun! Avery loved it! She loved looking at all the animals we saw. She also perfected her monkey sound and tiger sound. Grandma Sandy came with us and enjoyed pushing avery around in her stroller. Avery loves animals so much and just pointed and laughed and watched all of them.

Avery's Growl

NO NO NO.....

Avery has started the NO phase. Every time you ask her a question, without hesitating and with a lot of attitude. She replies NO! It is the funniest thing I have ever heard. And the thing is, is half of the time she does want the thing that I am asking and gets frustrated when I don't give it to her. I think its our fault because half the time she is being told NO don't get into that NO don't do that.  Avery is a busy body and loves getting into the dog food and water, playing with daddy's 360 and opening drawers and throwing every item out of them. I have lost so many things its crazy. From my BeBe necklace to our thermometer. Who knows where they are now.  So I have decided I need to start saying YES more. To counter act this new phase she is in. 

McDonalds!

Today it is rainy and cold out so me and my sister in law lacie decided to take the kids to McDonalds to play. It was a mad house there since we went at lunch time. We both have decided to only go after 1:00. Avery had a blast of corse. She loves running around and playing. She made a friend with a little Polynesian boy about her same age. He was truly in love. It was so cute he helped her up and down stairs and followed her around.  That was our adventure for the day. Now it is nap time.

Swimming with mommys cell phone

Today I learned to never leave my phone where avery can get it! I left it on the toilet while she was in the bath and she stood up grabbed it like a ninja and then proceeded to play with it in the tub.  She thought it was so cool; but I on the other-hand cringed while I thought of how all my photography appointments, clients phone numbers, and everything else for that matter that keeps me sane and on time to things is gone forever..... what can you do though. I guess the upside is I get a new phone :)

Easter Egg Hunt

Avery during an easter egg hunt. She didn't get many eggs because she was too into opening the eggs and getting out the candy!

I Guess we are bloggers....

So Chris has been trying to get me to start a blog so our family can be updated on all the new things going on in our lives. Also I think he's tricking me into actually keeping something like a journal. :) So updates.... Avery we all know is a little stinker, this morning we watched one of her favorite movies Lady and The Tramp. She proceeded to bark like a dog the whole movie. Its so funny. I think deep down she thinks she's a puppy.  Yesterday was quite the day. Me and my dad sat on the edge of our seats all afternoon coordinating 5 computers at the same time so we could get stadium of fire tickets. Miley Cyrus is going to be the headliner and we all know that everyone in crazy about her right now. With all the hype and craziness we thought for sure we wouldn't get them. But hey my dad was able to hook up to a computer at his work and.....he got them! We were sooo excited, I was screaming and jumping up and down. I'm sure our neighbors heard  and think I'm a total nut. What's funny is we don't really care about seeing Miley but it was so fun to work together to get the tickets and be all crazy. Here's a picture of Avery actually enjoying eating spaghetti. She is such a picky eater and this is the first time she has eaten the meat sauce. Til' next time bye bye.
