A Good Week

Hi! It's been a good week for me. I had my first week in the big baby room at daycare, and it went very well! I really like it there and I've already made friends with everyone. It's a little strange that I am the youngest baby now, but the other babies motivate me to keep on getting stronger and trying new things. Everyone else is walking. I think it looks fun, so I am going to work on that. It will take me a few months, but I'll get there. I stand really, really well. Next, I am hoping to start cruising! My teachers were a little concerned about the older babies picking on me, but I stand up for myself. When they try to take my toys, I tell them who's boss. They listen too! I am very loud, so they don't really have a choice.

I have a new game I like to play at home. It's called Escape from Mommy and Daddy! When they try to change my diaper (not my idea of fun), I like to escape and crawl away, giggling all the way. I get out of my room and make it down the hall before they catch me. I think they like it, too, cuz sometimes they just let me get away.

I went to the doctor today for my 9 month visit. I am a growing boy! I weigh 20 lbs already! I'm really tall, too. Mommy calls me long and lean. The doctor also said my ear infection isn't going away. If it isn't gone after this next round of antibiotics, I have to go see an Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor. I think that means tubes. Not sure how that is going to go, but I will keep you updated. Other than that, I am doing really well and developing like a baby my age should.

I hope you like my new pictures. I was having fun with my parents last weekend. After Mommy fed me, I went and woke Daddy up. I think he enjoyed it.

Have a good week. Hope to see many of you at Thanksgiving!
Hugs and kisses,
Avery

Big Boy, Big Changes

Hi there! So much is happening here, I don't know where to begin.... I guess I'll start with the biggest change around here, we moved!! I love our new house, there's so much to explore and get into. The stairs are fun to climb up, although Mommy and Daddy went and ruined my fun by putting up gates. I still have fun, though, there's lots more to get into.

I am moving up to another room at daycare. It's still the baby room, just the big baby room (for 9 months to 15 months). I really like it there, one of my favorite teachers, Ms. Jana, is there and I already have two friends, Ethan and baby girl Charlie. I will miss my old teachers, Ms. Melody and Ms. Meredith, but will see them often. I think my bestest friend Alyssa is moving up soon, too, so I am excited about that!

I've been hitting some more developmental milestones, too. I'm developing so fast, my parents can barely keep up. You all know about my crawling. I'm fast!! I can also stand up, and figured out if I stand in my crib, my parents come running fast! I can also crawl up and down stairs when my parents let me. I'm getting more teeth, too. 2 on top and at least one more on the bottom.

In other news, I have my 4th ear infection. It doesn't bother me that much, just when I sleep at night, but my new meds are helping a lot. I hope this is my last.

Do you love my pictures this week? Here I am taking my first bath in our new home, trying out my new carseat, and hanging out with my Aunt Katie during our move! So many new things in the past few weeks, and I love them all!

Talk to you later!
Love,

Beer Me!

Here I am playing with one of my favorite toys.... the refrigerator! I love the cool air and to play with the shelves and drawers. Anytime Mommy or Daddy open up the door, I'm right there sticking my head in and playing! It's so much fun.

My First Halloween

I had such a great time on Halloween! I went to daycare in my dinosaur costume and everyone thought I was adorable! Then I went trick or treating with my friends Alyssa and Josh. Alyssa pooped out and slept the entire time, but I had a great time! Then afterwards, we went back to Alyssa and Josh's house and played, while our parents had pizza and hung out. By then, Alyssa had woke up, so we had fun playing in our costumes. She looked so cute as Minnie Mouse.

Here's a picture of me in my costume. Aren't I scary??

Love,
Avery

Little Explorer

I had some fun this weekend exploring our new home while Mommy and Daddy painted this weekend. I'm really finding my way around. I'm really glad I figured out how to crawl!

Hugs and kisses,
