Avery at 18 months

At 18 months, Avery is still a bit of a skinny thing. She weighed in at her doctor appointment at 20 lb 15.5 oz. Avery is talking a lot more lately! New words that she says:
day do (thank you)
hi
bye-bye
snaaa (fruit snacks)
dee (drink)
sigh (outside)
dooo (shoe)
nie-nie (night-night) Avery also calls her pacifier "nie-nie" It pretty funny. She walks around the house yelling "nie-nie, nie-nie, nie-nie" when she is looking for her paci.
key (blankey, although she sometimes call her blanket "nie-nie" also)
chee (when she notices I am taking pictures she will say cheese)

Avery is kind of a picky eater. The only vegetables I can get her to eat are potates baked like fries, and corn on the cob. She loves fruit, yogurt, pasta, and sweets of any kind.

She is a little dare devil, and she loves to climb and jump off of things. In church a couple of weeks ago she stood up on the folding chairs and tried to jump over to the next chair. Crazy girl. She also will lay on her stomach and fall head first off the couch. I have to move really quick to grab her leg and slowly lower her down. Otherwise she lands right on her head. Not so awesome. Avery definitely keeps things lively!



Avery takes her blanket and paci everywhere. When we drive somewhere I will let her bring the blanket, but she has to leave it in the car when we get out. And after I take away her blanket, she always asks, "nie-nie?" Like she is asking, can I at least bring in my paci?









Daddy reading Avery her favorite story book.
