Avery Update (little over 13 mos old)

-Avery spends 90% of his days walking from one end of the house to the other.

-Never sits still unless Sesame Street is on (Thank God for Elmo!)

-He loves eating and will try just about anything. Always wants what Mommy & Daddy have.

-Favorite foods: bananas, grapes, animal crackers, string cheese, gold fish, ravioli, peas

-He has learned how to drink out of a straw quite well and loves some apple juice boxes.

-When he isnt eating he usually has a bottle hanging from his mouth.

-Hates paci's but still has the urge to suck so thats where the bottle comes in.

-Started calling his "ba-ba" (bottle) a "ga-ga" this week.

-He claps and says "Yeah, yeah, yeah" while shaking his head yes when he sees us making him a bottle.

-Avery who didnt have a bad attitude at all for the first 12 mos of his life now has quite the attitude.

-He has attempted to bite Mommy a couple of times but usually will stop himself and shake his head "NO" before he does.

-He has 16 teeth and more coming in... hence the biting.

-Still takes a morning and afternoon nap but they are shorter now.

-Still sleeps from 7pm-8am (give or take) each night

-Wears a size 5 diaper and has for awhile.

-He knows where his nose and mouth are and will show you when you ask. =)

-Still loves bathtime but has started throwing any and all toys out of the bath each time so we have shortened his bathtime to avoid getting soaked.

-Avery can crawl up on the couch with the help of his PB Kids chair. This is the reason for all of the bumps and bruises lately.

-Baby signs: More, All Done, Eat, Milk

-Avery has a new laugh and its pretty funny. He fake laughs really loud...all the time.

-He LOVES all the toys in his playroom and knows where everything is. It's so cool to watch him go get a specific toy.

-Avery looks to be thinning out as he grows taller. (Maybe its all the walking around)

-He attempted to crawl out of his crib so it is now on the lowest level.

-Still has to have his aquarium and lullabies on when sleeping.

-When he gets tired he will go find his "mimi" (his blankie) and carry it around until I lay him down.

-He loves playing with Sophie and Bama. He always thinks they are chasing him...haha.

-Avery loves dancing to "Imma be" by the Black Eye Peas

-He has thrown a couple of fits where he lays on the floor and hits his head on the carpet. So sad!
-He is super smart and amazes me everyday. =)
