Avery 13 months

I can't believe my baby girl is already 13 months. She is so much fun, and a joy each day. We love her lots. Here are some pictures that I took of her today.

She is always making this face when she is happy, excited, hyper or when she thinks she is being funny.

Look at her go. You probably can't tell by these pictures, that she screamed, for about 3 hours this morning. So we went to the Doctor. She has another ear infection and she is teething, and she has some mild congestion. Poor baby! But as you can see, she is already feeling better. Unfortunetly, she has had 4 ear infections in 2 months. Ever since I weened her. She got her first one 1 week after being weened. So we are going to go see the ENT and discuss tubes.

Here is a little about Avery at 13 months. She talks all day long. The words that she says that we can understand are Mama, Dada, Bah (ball), Uh Oh (a favorite) baba (baby) and her newest is Papa (but we are unsure what this is in refernce to, we are thinking either Grandpa or Puppy, or maybe both). She is very affectionate, always giving hugs, wide open mouth kisses or blowing kisses. I love when she walks up to me and hugs the back of my legs. As you can see, she is always on the move. We spend all day going from one room to the next. Her newest adventure is getting into the cabinets. She loves to dance, play and tease. She is a great eater and eats almost anything that we give her. But she does love to share her food with Sam. The other day I caught her sharing her Dum Dum. She is shy around strangers, loves to sing, and is still a good sleeper. She hates getting dressed or getting her diaper changed, in fact, she will SCREAM if we attempt to change her diaper before she eats in the morning. That is a tough one. She is always making everyone laugh and can entertain us for hours. We play a game where I steal her binky and put the handle end in my mouth, then she gets it back with her mouth. She must think that I want a binky too. Today she found her Thermometer binky and brought it to me and tried to put it in my mouth. So sweet. We love her so much, and are grateful that she is apart of our family.
