The biggest change in Avery lately is the amount of words she can say and objects she can identify. Gar and I have both been off for Christmas for 10 days and what a difference when we are both home with her all the time!!
These are the words she can say:
Mama, Dada, Grandma, Grandpa, more, juice, cat, Koko, Jesse, Homer, cheese, yes, no, flower, nana (Banana), apple, what, egg, stairs, cart, blue, red, purple, arm, baba (baby), ball, Dora, Boots, Yeye (from Kai Lan's show, it means Grandpa in Chinese), cup, goat, fish, frog, owl, please and many more...
She also says these phrases together:
"There they are", "more juice", "more juice please"
If you ask her a question that requires a yes or no answer, she will tell you either yes or no.
We have a big board book that has 100 words in it with pictures and she has picked up so many of those words, and recognizes so many of the objects we are dumb founded!!
Avery had her 18 month well child on the 29th, and she now weighs 20.2 pounds, and is 30.5 inches tall. Dr. O was impressed with all of her words, and said that that was a lot for a child her age. Of course we are proud parents!!
Christmas was a lot a lot of fun!! To have a child in the house and stay home on Christmas morning and be a family was more than we could have ever dreamed!! Of course we over did the presents, waiting for 3 years!! But I will say she has played with everything. She loves her shopping cart and food, and my parents got her the Little People barn and she loves that, and the cell phone that Gary's parents got her. Of course Dora was a BIG presence in our house on Christmas. Avery woke to a Dora tent set up in the living room from Santa. She is a little afraid of it, but looks in the tunnel constantly, and watches the cats run through it all day long. She will get used to it and use it but we want her to do it on her own. But Mommy & Daddy have both been in the tent and crawled through the tunnel trying to entice her a couple of times, (the tunnel is a little tight-lol)!!It was a magical Christmas in the 3 Newts household-just magical!!
Hope you all had a great Christmas and Happy New Year!!

This is so exciting to hear. It sounds like she is going to be a little smarty. Thought of the three of you throughout the holidays...beyond happy that you and Gary got to experience the wonderfulness of having your own child at Christmas time. A child changes so many avenues of your life, doesn't it?! Love-EMayne
Yes definitely!!! It was a dream come true!!
Happy New Year!!
