Avery update

Avery had her 15 month check up today and I am happy to announce that she is officially on the charts! 

This is big people! 

Here are her stats:

18 lbs 6 oz......3rd percentile

29 inches tall.....15th percentile

17 3/4 inches (head circ.).........25th percentile

Avery is always on the move. She is taking  several steps on her own, but crawling is still much more efficient.  The last couple of days she has started to stand up from sitting on her own.  We took away her binky a few months ago. The adjustment wasn't too bad, it only took a week or two to get over it.  She  drinks from a sippy cup, but she still has a bottle right before bed.  We are still working on words.  She says mommy/mama, daddy/dada.  She says lots of other gibberish, and has a few funny phrases (still gibberish) that are her favorites. She is doing really well on solid foods, but still eats baby food as well.  Her favorites are yogurt, applesauce, sliced bananas, mandarin oranges, diced peaches, diced pears, cooked carrots, ice cream, popsicles.  Anytime we are eating and she isn't, she gets right up in your face with her mouth open like a baby bird.  She usually still takes two naps during the day.  She is starting to learn what NO means...but usually just smiles at you and does it anyway.  She thinks it is funny to watch our reaction as she turns the dish receiver off and on while we are watching a show.  She also loves to empty any drawer or cabinet that is not locked, and scatter/suck on every item she pulls out.

She is a funny happy little girl that loves just about everyone.  She gets more and more personality everyday and we love her to pieces!
