Lately with Avrie


New Tricks for Avrie
2007/08/10 - All I can figure is that this girl must love the sound of her own screeching because she does it all the time for no reason that I can tell. Attention? Sounds like a terodactyl screech. It's especially great when the other two join in the screeching. HELP ME!!!
2007/07/29 - She is so dang cute! Lately when she falls, rather than immediately bursting into tears, she will pause a moment and look at me to find out how she should react...her face is priceless! She has a sad but determined expression as she pants heavily mustering up the courage to fight back tears and move on! Priceless! She's up and at 'em in no time!
2007/07/29 - This girl loves a challenge...she loves to carry and move things that look impossible for someone her size! She cracks me up as she moves a giant stuffed animal, stools, a big plastic rocking horse twice her size...she likes to pick them up and move them accross the room! Quite the sight...like an ant carrying off lunch!
2007/07/29 - At 23 lbs. and 32.75 inches, Little Miss Smartie Pants did great at her developmental evaluation last week. She blew them away with her vocabulary and problem solving skills. Go Avrie! She gets it from me I'm sure.
2007/07/29 - Has had an entire week of great days in a row! WOW! She's very calm and happy, sweet! We'll keep her! Sleeping through the night too! What a gal!
2007/07/22 - I'm learning that Avrie doesn't do well in confinement (what 20 month old does?). Needs space to wiggle even if just to pace - even a small space. Sitting still on a lap for more than a few stories- too much energy!
2007/07/22 - Was the first to be sick when our family took turns with a nasty bug. We were down and out for 3 WEEKS! Avrie hung in there- had it the longest of anyone!
2007/07/22 - Getting a wee bit easier each month. She is either in a great mood and so happy or just the opposite and miserable and lets everybody know it. Tummy problems contribute? Definately a sleep connection! But she is quite the charmer!
2007/07/22 - Wow- More and more words. She can say almost anything it seems! Amazing. At the zoo, she goes nuts naming all the animals. She nearly jumps out of her skin in excitement!
2007/06/19 - Loves to cuddle mom! Loves moms undivided attention on her lap. When it's Avrie's turn on mom's lap just move over or be moved over.
2007/06/18 - Got 4 more teeth...her smile is no longer missing her 4 k-9 fangs. She has great teeth and a beautiful smile!
2007/06/18 - Can say Annaliese and Adeline! So cute..."Anniese and Alline"
2007/06/18 - I can't believe her vocabulary! It is taking off! WOW! She can say about anything! Starting to say complete sentences too! Unbelievable!
