Avery is 19 Months Old !!!


This is extremely late, but needs to be documented regardless! As of June 17th, Avery is 19 months old, and has become a spitfire. Seriously, she is a PISTOL. Keeping up with her keeps us on our toes.


She has 4 new teeth, so that puts us up to 16.




She has become a great texter with Mommy's phone. (Which a lot of you may already know, since her texts are quite distinctive.)


She always says "YEAH!" Whenever she gives a high five, her Uncle Mike taught her that.

She loves to make "soup" in her kitchen, and offers bites to everyone in the house.

She is exuberant, and has a smile so infectious that we just can't help laughing.


She's looking less and less like a baby.


I see so many of the people I love in this one little face.



The sheer size of the bites she is able to take would astound you. Seriously, her mouth should be studied.

Her favorite food on the planet would be cupcakes. (A girl after my own heart!)
When given the option, she'll choose chocolate with white icing every time!

Whenever she gets sleepy, she says "Rock-a-Baby" and we rock with her favorite blanket (affectionately known as "B")

Her hair is getting SO long, and has a golden hue. To us, she is the most beautiful girl in the world.

We've taught her to say "CHEESE!!" (yes, she "cheezes" so hard that her eyes just can't stay open = adorable.)


And here are some "after bath hair" pics just for Mimi.




Just when we think she can't get any sweeter, she becomes more affectionate and even more lovely. Avery Adison, we are your biggest fans!

1st Swim



This is a little late, but our first swim day of the season was last month - at Nana & Granddad's. The kids absolutely couldn't wait to jump in !! But first things first, a few bikini shots...




It's been too long, and they are SO Ready !!!

Big Brother helped her put on her "floaties".



Okay, so Avery was a little timid at first. Lucky her sweet Daddy was there to put her at ease.




Daddy with his 2 little fish.




"Hi Daddy"


She's great at kicking!

Reilly popped up for a minute...





It's so difficult to get a picture of Reilly, since he is mostly under the water. As you can see here.



Think she's ready to get out now.

But not without Bubba.

The "after" hair. Yeah, that's our girl.

Ahhh summer... Here's to wrinkled toes and that unmistakable smell of sunscreen and chlorine.

Summertime


Welcome to SUMMER !!! We started it off last month with a summertime tradition... a good old water sprinkler in Mimi & Grandpa's front yard!

But first, we had to let the sunscreen sink in...

Her very first bikini.... could there be anything cuter?!


Avery is not too sure about this.


As it turned out, Avery could not have cared any less for the cold water spraying from that sprinkler, but Reilly was ALL for it !!!


What kid hasn't done this?

Bring on the summer !!!
