Avery, Avery, Avery

I'm thinking it is time for an all about Avery post, since it has been a while and she is just growing so much that I feel it necessary to document about our fierce and sassy second born.  

Avery is quite the independent little lady these days - let's discuss a little further.  She will do everything "myself" and without help and dare I say it, with a little attitude.  We don't use a stroller, she's way too cool for one.  She doesn't hold your hand - pssssh - she's got this!  She doesn't sit in her chair at dinner anymore and will only sit stand in a regular chair at dinner.  Crib, what crib???  Not only can she climb out, she chooses the bed every time.

So needless to say - Jeremy and I must face the facts that we are heading into the (terrible) 2s!!!!

Avery is so verbal now.  She can tell you what she and everyone else is doing.  Her all time favorite thing to report is that her friend Nina at school cries EVERY.SINGLE.DAY!  The conversation at pick up usually goes like this:

Me:  Avery, how was your day at school?

Avery:  Good.  Nina crying!!

Me:  Awwww, again???  What did you do?

Avery:  Hug, Nina crying!

And it pretty much goes on like that for the next 10 minutes!

On the flip side of all of this, Avery is my cuddler and will ask for random hugs throughout the day.  She loves to give kisses and always tells me "I love you more."  She is obsessed with Riley and will do anything she does.  She's also hilarious!  Boy does this kid have quite the sense of humor!!!

We're so lucky to have Avery and we loving watching her grow. 

Evidence that she is too cool for both a stroller and a hand.

Don't worry, you don't want to get me out...

I'll do it myself!!!

Did you say I was too small to help build that deck?  I'll show you!!!

Did I mention how super silly she is???  Well here's some proof!

I don't need you to read to me, I'll do it myself!

I think the stance and look says it all!
