Avery has become quite the performer this month. Her tricks she performs are: wave, clap, "so big" (were still working on mastering), blowing kisses, she can say: Mama, Ball, Uh Oh, and she is standing up on everything. She has become quite fond of any music and dancing, as a matter of fact, High School Musical is mesmerizing to her. With any music and dancing she will become entranced and bob to the music by rocking her body or clap to the music. She loves Patty Cake and the Wheels on the Bus too. Her two favorite toys would be her balls and books though. She loves to play catch with her basketball or soccer ball and will clap and cheer for herself every time she throws the ball.
Avery is going through a phase where she has been deadly afraid of the bath and screams bloody murder when we try to put her in- although she used to love it. So... I have to get in with her just to slowly work her into the water. She has also been having some attachment, especially to Mommy, and is afraid of many things at first including the vacuum, mixer, blow dryer, and new faces. Not too surprisingly, she is big for her age and is still in the 95% for height and about 75% for weight. As she is turning 11 months, she is already wearing 18 month clothes and starting to phase into the 24 month clothes. She still gets the same compliment all the time- "She looks just like her Dad." We will see if her soon to be brother or sister, due July 29th will get the same compliment. I'm 16 weeks now and we're getting more and more excited to add to the family soon. Avery can't wait to be a big sister!
We took Avery to the huge Chicago Shedd Aquarium and she was quite interested in the animals- although I think her favorite part was the 5 minute cartoon video they showed prior to the dolphin show! ;-)
Since we've finally gotten some snow we have taken Avery sledding a couple times in the back yard. She wasn't quite sure what she thought about it as you can tell, but she rode along with her neighbor buddy, Lindey (3 months). After a couple minutes she figured out how to drag her hand in the snow as we went and was amused by that for quite awhile. Then we attempted to play in the snow for a bit and she tasted her first snow- you can tell she wasn't too fond of it! Lastly, Daddy had to dress Avery up in her Super Bowl outfit for the big day.
