6 months and oh how we've thrived!!!

Avery is now 20 months old!! We've been home 6 months, and Avery is just thriving! She is learning new words everyday, and she amazes us with the amount of new things she can do now. She is learning her colors, and shapes, and numbers. She now can point to her nose, mouth, eyes, hair, head, feet, toes, fingers, hands and ears when asked. She recognizes the numbers 1-6. She says new words everyday. She can say ladybug, phone, circle, square, bubbles, Koko, Homer, Jessie, red, purple, pink, blue, donkey, sheep, pig, cow, duck, name all the characters in Dora the Explorer, and a ton more...

We are having a hard time right now with her tubby. She hates having her hair washed, screams bloody murder. Starts to scream as soon as you get the tub out and until you're done. The water is not too hot or too cold, and we have one of those buckets that has the rubber on it so it doesn't get her face, she has a ton of toys but... she just hates it, but she still gets a tubby every other day. Hopefully she'll get over it soon!!

She has about 6 teeth coming in now all at the same time. She's pretty good though. It seems she's more restless this time other than in a lot of pain. She is talking all the time...all the time!! She likes to yell at the cats...A LOT!! Poor cats. She loves to chase you around the kitchen counter, jump on Mommy & Daddy's bed upstairs while hanging onto our hands. She can do knuckles, and high fives, and climbs EVERYWHERE.

Avery loves hotdogs, ham, a little chicken. She loves rice, and cheese. Vegetables are corn, broccoli, and carrots. Apple juice is her preferred drink, but she drink a lot of milk also.

Avery is doing just beautifully!! Still about 9-12 months on her bottom half, and about 12 months on her top half, and size 3 shoes.

We are looking forward to decorating a little for Chinese New Year. It is the Year of the Rabbit, and it starts on February 3rd-coming right up!!!

Leave comments if you read the blog. I don't post as much anymore, just busy, but love to hear from people!!

Happy Chinese New Year!!
