Avery turned 2 on Friday!! 2. Where Avery is now is so great compared to when she was born. Her first 6 months were difficult, I'll be honest, but now she acts like a little girl should act and we just love her. She has a little ear infection and had a little temp this last week, but she's doing much better. She was supposed to have a procedure done (to get accurate pressures in her heart) tomorrow morning, but we're going to post pone it. Which means it'll be a little longer before we have a surgery date.
Avery looooves Dora and her monkey pal, Boots. She got a Dora house and accessories, passed down to her from cousins (thank you!). Avery had woken up crabby, but when I showed her the Dora doll, oh she got this "hew-hew" smile on her face and loves it all.
Avery can say momma, tissue, boots, cracker, apple, sleep, dad, and I can tell though it's not clear, Zachery, drink and "love you" and "'men" for amen.
We had a family party for Ave and had a nice time, despite Avery falling asleep after Zach helped her blow out her candle. Zach was very excited for Avery's party and even got a couple of things too. Zach was eying a little art set Avery got and said, "Oh, don't worry Mommy, I will share with Avery."
I feel like the older we get, the better we become. And in better I mean more gray hairs. Someday I'll be totally better. :)
We went bowling for Eric's birthday with the family and the kids loved it. Eric bowled well and I scored low. I do blame 1/2 of it on not finding a lighter weight bowling ball. Although I did get 2 strikes and a spare, I also blame to heavy ball on my other 3 gutters, okay 5.
Zach was wearing a sport headband on his forehead in this picture. I had one out and he asked what it was and when I told him he wore it like an indian for the rest of the day. Zach said, "Oh, I look beautiful."
