Ahhhhhhh!

My buddy Camden

I went to Nashville with my parents last weekend and had the best time! My buddy Camden lives there with his parents, Jeremy and Amy. I haven't seen him since I was 3 months old, but we hit it off right away! It was like we were always best buds. Our parents think we are really cute together and of course they are right! We're the cutest boys EVER! Camden is going to be a big brother in October, so my little sibling will be close in age to his little brother. Then we can all play together. More reasons to go visit Nashville again soon!

I'm all tuckered out from my trip, so I'm going to go rest now.
Talk to you all soon.
Love,
Avery

Big Brother

Hi! I'm sure most of you have heard by now that I am going to be a big brother in December! I'm really excited about it, but my initial reaction wasn't as positive. When Mommy told me, my exact words were "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!" But now that I know I will have a new playmate, I like the idea.

Here's what else I've been up to:

Hanging out with Mommy.

Like my bandana? Daddy wears one to the gym and I like to look like Daddy, so I have to wear one, too.

Napping with Boo. He's my security blanket!

Looking out the window is still one of my favorite things to do. I peer out everyday, watching for Daddy to come home from work.

I gotta go! It's a nice day out and I want to go play. Talk to you soon!
Love,
Avery

I want to play with my puppies!!!

What a week!

Going for a walk in my shiny new car! I love this thing! Walks are so much fun. I like to wave to all the neighbors as they pass by. Before long, we will know all of our neighbors.

The great outdoors! This is my favorite place to be. Rain or shine, I want outside! Here I am hanging out on our back patio. I love it here.

Helping Mama with the laundry. She loves it when I "help"!

This is me taking a nap. I've been working on doing it on my own lately. Sometimes I don't quite make it to the lying down position.

Playin' with my cousin, Wyatt. He's awesome! I hope I get to play with him again soon.

I'm a travelin' man...

Kissin' my puppy. I love my Bails! Madi isn't into the kissing as much.

As you can tell, I've been a busy boy lately. We spent a couple weeks traveling around, visiting friends and family, but we're settled for a few weeks anyway. I'm tired from all the traveling. We had a great Easter with my Grandma Hannah's side of the family, and I finally got to meet my cousin Wyatt. What a cool dude. I'm enjoying the new found freedom that I have with walking (I mean running!) and am keeping my parents on their toes. They are loving every second of it.

Talk to you all soon! And I hope I see ya soon, too.
Love,
Aves

Hello!!

Hey there! Hope this finds you all well. I have been a traveling man, as of late, so I have not had much time to update my blog. Last weekend, my parents and I went to Minneapolis to visit our friends Tom and Janis. It was a long trip, but very fun! I made pals with their bulldog, Tank, and showed them what it will be like to have a toddler. They are expecting their first baby in July, so I am excited to have another friend to play with!

Here's a look at what I have been up to:

I've discovered that I love to climb in and out of things, most of them I can't fit into! But I try anyway. This is the puppies toy basket. I throw out all their toys and climb right in. The problem is, I get stuck and have troubles getting back out. Mommy and Daddy have been more than helpful with that. Once I'm out, I'm right back in!

More climbing! I see mountains in my future..... I even climb on the ottoman, which is a no no. But I do it anyway!

Eating! One of my favorite things to do. I'm still messy, but I am such a good eater. Here I am eating my Dad's famous turkey chili, which is soooooo good! You should try it, YUM!

More traveling this weekend... we're heading to Uncle Stephen's tonight for a BBQ and I get to finally meet my cousin, Wyatt, then off to Marion tomorrow to hang out with more family, then it's off to Grandpa's. It should be a good time! But I will most definitely be a tired boy by Sunday. I'm not so good of a sleeper lately. I'm getting all 4 molars right now, and man do they hurt! Everyone in our house will be happy once they completely break through!

Hope to see you soon!

Hugs and kisses, Avery

Still lovin' to play ball

I still love to play ball! Only now, it's a little more fun because I got the safety gate involved. I love to throw balls, blocks, my socks, my bink, the puppie's bone, anything I can get my hands on, over the gate! I could do this for hours, and I generally do.

The after photo! After I got done, I made Daddy clean up my mess! All just so I could throw it over the gate again!

Maybe we can play ball together the next time I see you! Hope that is soon.

Love,

Avery
