It's hard to believe that our little Avery is 15 months old already...next thing you know she'll be 15-years-old!!! Avery is an awesome kid with the best sense of humor! She seems to be moving right along developmentally (although I do frequently have moments of panic when I think she is lagging behind). This morning we sat and came up with a list of words that Avery knows without us having to prompt her and thankfully the list was much lengthier than I had thought.
Some of the things Avery say are:
dada, mama, Riley, Avery, squirrel, Otto, baba (which she says for both bottle and Babcha), Grandpa, bird, ball, hot, up, pop, bubbles, uh oh, please, bath, apple, flower, rabbit, all done, hi and bye bye. There are more but I think you get the idea.
Some of the things she does are:
she nods yes and no (although we're still working on the appropriateness), getting off the couch by herself, knows some animals sounds (but loves the sheep, pig and monkey most), listens to one step directions really well, eats even better, crosses her arms and says uh huh when she doesn't want something, and DOES.NOT.SLEEP!!!!!
Avery naps well most of the time and falls asleep well. But, she wakes in the middle of the night and struggles to get back to sleep on her own. Let's just say Jeremy and I lack more sleep now than we did when she was an infant! We're a very tired family. She has 7 teeth but with the way she eats, you'd think she had all of her teeth!!
Avery follows Riley and tries to do a lot of what she does. It's adorable - of course that is unless Riley is trying some daredevilish things that she shouldn't be doing.
We're loving Avery's sweet personality and watching her get better with her words and learning new things everyday. We'll head to the doctors in 2 weeks for her 15 month appointment. Can't wait for her stats!!!
Now for some pics of our growing girl!
