LBI 2009

We had a blast at the beach house this week. Avery had an incredible time with her 5 older east coast cousins and bonded with each of them. She particularly loved running around in the sand and sitting on the edge of the ocean playing with her beach toys. Thanks again to Grandma and Grandpop for making another yearly vacation possible!!!

18 months!

Avery's now a big 18 month old, saying lots of words - Up, More, Crackers, Moo, Quack, Neigh, Mama, Dada, Bye, Hi, Hot, Cold, No, Bath, Bubbles, Push, Banana, Eyes, Nose, Knees, One, Two, Juicy, and more.

She can get up and down off the couch by herself, open and close doors, play with a bucket and shovel at the sandbox and pet her cats Missy and Monty (although she calls them nah-nah).

She is also increasingly independent, wanting to brush her own teeth, or feed herself with a spoon or fork.

Here are some new pics... and we'll do another update after our vacation at the beach!!!
