Avery is 20 Months Old !!!

This is super late, as Avery was 20 Months Old on July 17th, but this precious time absolutely must be documented. She is rapidly growing and changing, blossoming really. Each month seems to bring some new dimension of her personality, and we delight in the discovery!

She is quite the climber, and frequently finds herself in the most interesting places.

She LOVES the Ripley dog, and "Ree-Reep" is so sweet to oblige Avery's intense desire to snuggle, and/or pet the belly.





Her favorite thing to do, by far, would be to watch a video entitled "Baby Longhorn". ("BABY Hah-Non" is how it comes out when she says it... over & over.) It was a gift for Reilly (when he was a baby) from Uncle Mike & Aunt Honey, and it's awesomeness has stood the test of time. Avery's favorite part of the video would be, when the Longhorn Cheerleaders are featured. She says, "CHEELaaalaaaa" and puts her hands in the air while twirling in a circle! (Yes, it was unavoidable... cheerleading is in her genes! Mommy is so proud!)

I just LOVE her chubby little hands in this one...

And now a few shots from Avery's typical day.... first, some giggling.

And joining in with whatever Bubba might be doing.

Looking for kitties.... "Mow Mows" as her Aunt Honey calls them.

Lots of kisses and hugs...

And a few moments spent catching up on her reading ...

This one's a real page-turner.

Taking her babies for a stroll... she's such a good little momma.

And of course, a few laughs with her bestest girlfriends, Lambie & Strawbeary.

Sugar and spice and everything nice... that's what our little Avery is made of. (Okay, maybe a little more of the spice than anything else... but that's how we like it!)
