She's growing up!

These days Avery either has her fingers in her mouth or she is busy chewing on some sort of toy, blanket or anything else she can get her hands on. She's pretty serious about it. All business.

Sometimes one hand just isn't enough and she has to suck on fingers from both hands.

Avery relaxing after a nice bath. Remember how she used to hate bathtime? Well, that is a thing of the past. She has a ruber ducky that she just loves to chew on in the bath. She'll pretty much shove her face under water in an attempt to get the the ducky to chew on.

These days, bath time = fun time. :)

She is also enjoying being read to a lot more. Avery stares intently at the pictures and reaches for them while we're reading. This time though, instead of looking at the book Avery just wanted to watch mommy while she read. What a sweet girl.

We were also able to take Avery to the beach for the first time. She didn't go in, but we were able to dip her feet in. It was cold but worth it.

Avery has recently learned how to blow rasberries. It's hilarious because she's all business about it. She hunches over trying to look at her mouth to see the bubbles she's making. Here she is in the car practicing. FYI, the picture is a little wierd because it was filmed looking into a mirror.
