Avery is 15 Months Old



Yes, she's every bit of those 15 months. Translation: she's a handful. Into everything. Even more so than Reilly was, and that's saying a lot. She's gonna be feisty, this we know. Good thing for Joey that he likes his ladies that way. ;)
And she can hide it well, as evidenced by the following picture. She looks practically angelic, I'd say.


And she LOVES books. Before naptime, she requests at least 12 before she's ready to go to sleep.






Her new favorite things to say are, "Hi Baby" and "Oh Baby". So stinkin cute. She's repeating so many new words, it's exciting! And, running!!! Man, that girl is fast!! (Especially while toting something she shouldn't be.) And so sweet. She loves to give hugs, snuggles, and kisses. She likes sneaking up behind us, especially Reilly, and giving a kiss on our backs. She loves her baby dolls... in her own way. She says "BABY!" like she hasn't seen the thing in a month, then kisses it, and immediately throws it to the floor. (That is not a learned behavior, by the way.)

She loves talking to her Grandpa ("PawPaw") on the "hand phone", and says "Mimi!" every time our front door opens. I really love that. :) She loves watching Baby Einstein videos, and I know when she wants to watch one because she stands in front of the t.v. saying "Moo-e". She also has a keen fashion sense. Frequently while we're perusing her closet, I ask her what she would like to wear, then she grins and grabs whichever item that catches her attention.
She adores her big brother, and he couldn't be more nurturing towards her. It's funny watching Reilly chase her around the house, and heartwarming when they both burst into hysterics when he catches her. She has a great laugh, a cackle really. It's truly music to my ears.

All this adds up to one very cherished baby girl!!! We're watching, little strawberry, and can't to see what you do next!
