Catching up... again...

Sometimes I feel like this blogging thing is just a continual game of catchup for me. The good thing is that I should be starting laundry right now while Avery's asleep, but I need to catch up on the blog so laundry will have to wait! :)
Since I've waited so long, these pictures are definitely in no particular order. This first one is my favorite though; Daddy brought home a big present to his little Valentine and she loved it!We went to go visit Clay at the office one day and he has this treasure chest with toys to give to his patients. Needless to say, this picture was taken as Avery was digging into the treasure. It's her favorite part of the office (besides seeing her dad of course).
Thought I would throw this one in for my mom. It's water with lemon, not DP, but Avery loves having her own Sonic drink!
Avery is learning how to feed herself. Sticky foods that don't fall off the utensil when turned upside down are my new favorites. She's not too bad at it...She gets a little overzealous with the stabbing and likes to get quite a big bite before sticking it in her mouth.
Just a sweet picture of bathtime. I'd love to get some pictures of her in her bubble baths, but she is terrified of them. She won't sit down in the tub unless she can see the bottom. I know GayGay appreciates that!
The other day was a beautiful day so we invited Kellan and Parker to come play outside with us. It wasn't cold at all, Avery was just insistent on wearing her hat. I love these faces that the kids are making here.
We gave the kids some suckers and they were a hit! Don't tell Uncle Clint or Pawpaw, but suckers are one of Avery's favorite treats!
Parker wanted a sucker too.
Playing in the neighborhood water runoff... very sanitary I'm sure!Avery found a milk jug lid and would set it in the water and watch it float down the drainage ditch then run to go catch it. The game finally ended when she hit a small patch of moss and busted her tailbone a little.
The pain went away quickly when I asked if she needed to go inside to get Paci and her blanket, Cue. She apparently decided it wasn't worth leaving the water for.
Feeling big in Daddy's boots.
We had a fun season watching the North Lamar Panther basketball games this winter. Avery and Roselyn always showed lots of school spirit! And showed their basketball sense of style courtesy of Uncle Clint and Aunt P.
Just a sweet picture
Avery had a bout with the RSV bug several weeks ago... it was a mild case, but she had to do breathing treatments anyway. I thought this looked a little funny. She didn't think it was very funny and the mask only lasted for about a minute.
Well, I've come to the end of my pictures. We'll post again sooner or later (I'd count on the later though and then be pleasantly surprised if it was sooner!)
