Mommy's helper...

Just a little update on our girl. Avery is doing so good, she amazes us every single day. We still have those moments where we stop and look at her and can't believe that she is here. I have those moments a lot when I am rocking her to sleep at night. Sitting in the rocking chair with Avery bundled on my lap, and the stars from her light up ladybug glowing on the ceiling and Kenny Loggins, "Return to Pooh Corner" playing on the ipod. I get teary eyed and think how blessed we are to have her in our lives.

Avery's vocabulary is growing everyday, more and more words are being added, and she recognizes so many actions, and things, and it's the neatest feeling in the world to watch her learn and take in new things everyday. She is a climber, climbs on everything!!! She is the best helper at putting clothes in the dryer though. I hand her the wet clothes and she puts them right in the dryer for me, and then closes the door-great helper!! She always wants to close a cupboard you are in, or drawer even if you are still using it.

Avery takes role call a couple times a day. It goes like this, Mama, Dada, Koko, Teddin', blanket, Dora (her Dora blanket). At least we rate before Koko, and Teddin' most days-lol!! Koko is her stuffed cat, and Teddin' is her pink teddy bear. We always used to say to her, "Go get Ted n' Koko", so his name became  Teddin'-cute!!

Avery is still wearing most times 6-9 months on her bottom half, but also 12 months. On top she is in 12 months. She is a very happy girl!! The best thing in the world is to hear her laugh, she has the cutest belly laugh. She loves to show off her belly, and tickles your belly and your feet at any chance she can get. She still loves Dora, her very best friend I think. She will sing the Dora theme song, and dances during the, "We did it" sequence. She absolutely loves music, she will run around and twirl, and raise the roof, and clap, and swing her hips, and roll her shoulders, and it's hilarious!! She can high five, and do knuckles now, and says yes, quite often, and the word "UP", with great enthusiasm.

All in all life is good, better and better each day!!

She is so beautiful. We brought our daughter home in April. I'm so amazed how a little love can make these little ones thrive.
