MY PUMPKIN
Hello! I have had an exciting few days! I got to paint on my pumpkin Friday (see pictures in order above) and I got to go to Columbus on Saturday-Sunday! I had a great time! The pumpkin painting was fun. I mostly wanted to eat the brush. The paint squished between my fingers but I managed to put some on the pumpkin. I think most of the paint ended up on me though!

When I went to Columbus, I got to play with my friends Theresa, Joey and Olivia. I even stayed at Olivia's house! It was fun. I got to see her toys and add a couple to my Christmas list! I am handing out candy tonight...you won't even recognize me if you stop by!! BOO!

MY WEEKEND WAS GREAT!
I got to play with Rece all weekend! We watched our teams win (for a change). We went to church, dinner at Applebee's, played with toys and let our moms' go shopping while we played with our dads'. It was fun! I can't wait to see Rece again. Next time I will visit him! Well, gotta go! Time for bath, books and bed! :o) Nighty, night!

YUMMMM, this lid tastes good. But I'm eyeing that snickers bar!! 

Mommy says: Averie fell asleep on the way home from Kroger...her poncho got stuck on her head when I tried to take it off. She didn't mind :o) 

APPLE ORCHARD
On Saturday I went to the apple orchard with my cousins Maddie and Max. It was so much fun! We saw horses, pigs, cows, peacocks, chickens and goats! It was chilly so I was mostly in the sling with mom. I watched the animals and my cousins running around. I had a good time. I also played at my cousins house all day long. They have some cool toys! Well, mom says it is time to get ready for bed! Nighty night!

PUMPKINS!!!!
Today I went with my mom and dad to pick some pumpkins! It was a great time! I even got to sit on pumpkins and hold on to pumpkins...I also took FIVE of them home! I am so lucky. Mom and dad are going to carve them in a couple of days! They will carve one just for me :o) I hope you enjoy these pictures! I had a fun time picking out the pumpkins. We also went to Johnston's and got cider and apples! Yum! I tasted cider and liked it, but wasn't allowed to have a lot. Just a taste! Well, I better get to bed! I'm tired! Nighty, night! 

I just decided this morning that I
should start holding on to things
and standing. You know, piece of
cake! :o)

BATH TIME!
I had a blast last night during my bath! My mom bought me a bath mat so I can sit up in the tub now with out slipping and sliding! It's great! I also took my bath before bedtime for the first time. I think we are going to keep it that way! It is nice going to bed clean! That's all for now! Nap time! :o)

7 MONTHS!!!
Mommy says: I can't believe she is 7 months! Boy how the time has flown by! Averie is doing so many great things these days! She is learning to use her voice (screaming and talking and carrying on), she is rolling across the room and eating many different things! She tried rice crispies...she didn't really like them or dislike them...still a little too young I think! She does eat her food well though, she also drinks from a cup (regular and sippy) and loves sharing food from mommy and daddy's plates when we'll let her! She loves mashed potatoes! Averie is taking two naps a day now (as I type). One in the morning 10-1130am and one in the afternoon, 2-330pm. They are usually 1 1/2 to 2 hours. She is still sleeping 12 hours at night(730-730). Averie is a happy girl! More updates later!

MY WEEKEND! (Here I am, at the wedding)
I had a great weekend! I went to my Aunt Shawna's (and Travis's) wedding! She looked beautiful and happy! I wore a new dress and tights my mom bought me! I was the loudest one in the church...they heard me giving my support! I didn't go to the reception, it was for adults only, but my grandma came and watched me and we played and had a good time!

Than on Sunday I went to dinner with my whole (mom's side) family! My aunts, uncles, cousins, grandmas and grandpa were there! We went to Smokey Bones, it was good. I got to have a little taste of mashed potatoes and cinnamon apples. I kept wanting more! I also kept drinking water out of my mom's cup! I'm so silly sometimes! Well, I should be going down for my nap! I slept in today, til 8:15 am...mom let me so I am ready for daylight savings time in a few weeks! Bye bye!!
