Christmas Cheer and a Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone! I thought I would share some pictures from my first Christmas. I had a great time hanging out with my family, spreading Christmas cheer, and of course opening gifts. I hope you enjoy the photos, as much as I enjoyed Christmas.

Wishing you a Happy New Year!
Love and kisses,

My New Do

I got my first haircut over the weekend! Thank goodness, my hair was getting long! My ears really tickled, so I'm glad it's shorter now. My Aunt Katie cut it for me at the salon she works at. She said I was the bestest first haircut ever! I barely even noticed she was cutting my hair because I slept through the entire thing! I was tired from all the Christmas celebrating we had done over the past few days. Speaking of Christmas, I had the best time! I couldn't have asked for a better Christmas, and I am so glad I got to spend it with my loved ones. I will post pictures from Christmas later. In the meantime, here's my new haircut. Aren't I handsome?!?!

Love,

Avery

I Can't Wait for Christmas!

Well, Mommy tried to upload my video from the other day, but to no avail. She says "the stupid thing is slow!" Don't worry, I'll have Daddy fix it.

In the meantime, I've gotten myself into some mischief. I found the Christmas presents under the tree and managed to rip the bows off of most of the presents. I love it! I cannot wait to tear through the wrapping and open my Christmas presents!! My parents keep trying to stop me, but I'm pretty darn determined, and they are getting tired from chasing me. Mommy says I'm becoming a little boy and a feisty one at that.

Only two more days until I can tear through the presents for real. We'll see if they make it that long.....

Merry Christmas!

Ears and Tubes

Hello everyone!  I've had lots going on here, with being snowed in, having lots of doctor's appointments, and getting ready for Christmas!  My Mommy took me to the Ear, Nose, and Throat doctor this week.  The nice doctor said I shouldn't be getting this many ear infections and thought that I would be a perfect candidate for tubes.  I had my pre-op physical yesterday and I have been cleared for surgery!  I get tubes on January 2nd.  My doctor said its a simple procedure and I will only be out of Mommy and Daddy's arms for 15 minutes.  I know this will help with all of my infections, so I am ready to get it done and over with.  We've had a lot of sleepless nights over here.... I'm ready to be sleeping through the night again!

Speaking of that, I now have EIGHT teeth!  Boy can I chew!!

I am looking forward to seeing many of you at Christmas!  I have been a good little boy this year.  Until then, I am sending lots of hugs and kisses and Christmas joy.

Love,

Avery

p.s.  I will post another video soon.  The internet was really slow today, so I will try again later.

Here Comes Santa Claus!

I went to visit Santa this weekend! We had to stand in line for a long time, but it was totally worth it. I told him what I wanted for Christmas, and he told me I was a very good boy. I think that means I will get what I asked for! I am really enjoying the Christmas season. Mommy and Daddy put up the Christmas tree. I haven't tried to knock it down or anything. I'm trying out this nice thing, but I love to be naughty too! I am really looking forward to hanging out with my family on Christmas and of course, opening up presents on Christmas morning!

Hope to see you all soon.
Hugs and kisses,
Avery

Cruise control

I've been working on trying to cruise using the couch and other pieces of furniture, but low and behold, all I needed was a box!  This is my first attempt.  Not bad if you ask me.

Gobble gobble!

I had a great Thanksgiving weekend, and I hope you did, too! I actually had 2 first Thanksgivings, one with Mommy's family and one with Daddy's family. I met a bunch of new relatives I didn't know on Daddy's side, which was very exciting. More people for me to play with and love!

I also broke in another tooth over the weekend. For those of you, keeping count, I'm up to 6 teeth now! I have 3 on top and 3 on the bottom. I think I'm working on #7, too. I'll let you know how that one comes in.

Here are some pictures from my fun weekend. I can't wait for Christmas, when I get to see all of my family again.

Hugs and kisses,
Avery
