Busy summer...

It's been a busy summer...sorry for not posting, but hopefully you enjoy all of the new pictures.    Summer has gone by so fast.  It seems we've been a lot of places and done a lot of things, but at the same time if you were to ask our family what we did this summer.....we'd probably say not much.   My sister & I keep our parents on the go and often there's not time to take a photo...so much of the summer has gone by unphotoed...oops.   better luck next time.

My most recent highlight of the summer was going to Vacation Bible School!  I loved it and continue to sing all of the songs.  It was lots and lots of fun....sorry I have no pictures to share of it though.

Avery continues to grow lots everyday.  Last time we posted she couldn't yet sit on her own or eat solid foods.  Well now she's trying to crawl, gets into all of my toys, and eats anything and everything and she sings, squeals and babbles a lot!    

Daddy's gift


So today I pained a special project for Daddy for his new office.

Soon one paint brush wasn't enough, I needed two.

And well....two paint brushes really looked like a fighting stick or sword.....

and...oops I painted the wall. Mom called my project a masterpiece and then we cleaned.

Master of Mess making




While mom was finishing feeding Avery and getting the tub ready for a bath for the two of us, I thought I'd get a little head start. Turns out mom has some pretty fun stuff to play with. Once again, she wasn't quite as thrilled as I was.

I've grown a lot in the last few weeks and have come to find out that feeding myself is much more rewarding. You can hold me while you give me a bottle, but I'd much rather prefer holding it myself. And you can try to feed me with a spoon, but again, I'd much rather do it myself.

Avery 8 mo.


It's been a busy month: I sprouted a new tooth!

I can drink from a sippy cup.

I got my first digger while trying to crawl (there really is a bruise and a bump above my eye)

I'm mastering the art of eating cheerios!

Look at me grow!


all of 2 months ago my feet didn't touch...I just got to hang in my bouncy. But now mom had to raise it up, because I was bouncing too much and too fast! She really knows how to spoil the fun!

Bath time fun!


Now that Avery's bigger we can take baths together. It's lots of fun to have someone else to splash on. Mom always gets mad when I throw water on her!

My first fair ride


At our county fair (which is just a few blocks from our house) I got to go on my first ride at the fair. It was so much fun! I had fun looking at all of the animals and other fair stuff too!
