So Avery and I have been vacation for the past week. We have been to the aquarium, the beach and the Children's Museum. She loved the fishies at the aquarium and I know this because I heard the word Fishies about 5000 times. We found a spot at Wrightsville Beach that had little pools for her to splash and play in. Her favorite thing to do was find sea shells, we came home with a bucket full!!!! At the Children's Museum, there were soooo many things for her play with. We both were a little overwhelmed at first, but we took on everything they had for us to play with one at time! Each day ended with lunch, ice cream and a nap. Not a bad way to spend a vacation. Now it is time for the weekend to spend with daddy and let him on some of our fun.

So I have about 6mos of catching you up on all of the exciting things that have been going on. Avery is now running and talking our ears off. She is repeating and mimicking everything we do. (so now we really have to watch what we say and do) She loves to read books, play outside, eat chocolate and shop for shoes. She is all girl!!! She hated the snow we got this winter and loves sweet tea. Avery is my little southern bell, no yankee in her at all. She just gets sweeter and sassier by the day. Avery hates getting dirty and thinks it is a big deal when she touches a leaf or a flower. Shoes, Chocolate, Side (outside), Eat-eat and bye-bye are her favorite words. She loves elmo and dora. Jason bought her a pair of Dora crocks she refuses to take off, even though they're too big for her. She is coming into her own with a sassy, silly and sweet personality. Avery has been soooo much fun I can wait for the terrible 2's! I download most of her recent photos on my facebook account but I will post as many as I can to catch up. Sorry for the delay but we have been so busy.
