Avery @ 15 months

Avery is truly a delight.  She keeps us laughing and on our toes.  She has learned the fun in running away from her mother when I want her.  She teases her brothers.  She loves her Dad, of course.  And she is very emotional, heaven forbid we tell her "no"!
I love that she can keep herself entertained and happy.  I love her hugs and kisses.  And I love her chubby belly.
She can point to her body parts (nose, eyes, ears, mouth, belly, finger, and toes). She likes us to sing patty cake, itsy bitsy spider, and popcorn popping.  She enjoys trying to use utensils by herself, she's really good at using her fork, but the spoon and applesauce is a little to messy for me.  She can say a few words: dada, mama, that, and aha.  And she is finally keeping her clips in for longer than a minute!
At her check up last week she weighed 23 lbs (50%) and was 32 inches tall (95%).  Unfortunately, the doctor thinks she may a have a mild case of cough variant asthma, so she needs to use a nebulizer before bed for the next little while.  She screamed at first, but the last two nights she has sat like an angel while we did it.  She's becoming such a big girl.

Avery really is a joy in our home.
Love you baby girl.
