Sorry it took so long to update...Averie does love beets! Which I expected...I even tried them...they don't taste as bad as they smell, but they didn't taste good! She also fed herself greenbeans this afternoon for lunch. She kept picking them up then putting them down. Every once and a while she'd eat one and have a puzzled (what is this yucky taste in my mouth) look! But she ate 90% of what I put on her plate, so that's good!

Well, her cold is slowly improving, she still has a runny nose and a small cough. And still no teeth, although, yesterday when I was wiping her nose and she was yelling at me I noticed a little white peeking through on the bottom gum!! So, we'll have to keep waiting on that too. I will be shocked if she gets four at the same time!!! Poor thing. She has been a little extra needy lately. But just a little. And she was up at 12am and again before 6am But teeth would explain all that. We'll let ya know!


Averie can push her car backwards...and she always checks the trunk to see what toys I sneek in there! Picture 4, claps and says "A...." (as in yay!) What a cutie! :o) Mama loves you so much!

HATS ON to AVERIE!
Here is Averie in her new hat from her Grandpa. Doesn't she look cute!! She kept taking Grandpa's hat off this weekend, so he bought her a hat of her own. She only kept it on for this picture, then off it came!

Lately she has been very active and playful. She can't sit still!!! She goes from toy to toy and back again. It is a lot of fun to play with her and to watch her discover things and learn how things work. She has also been fighting a cold. She has a cough and enough snot pouring out of her nose to fill up a bath tub (well, not really...but it seems that way)! She sneezes, and snot comes shooting out her nose, than she takes off crawing at hyper speed when she sees me with the tissue coming at her. She hates having her nose wiped! I think all kids do! Well, I better go up and get her, she is a jabber jaw (just woke up from a nap). Oh yea, and still no pearly whites popping through?!??? How long does this take?? We'll keep ya posted! 

We walked to the park today! It was pretty nice out. I did put Averie's mittens on after the swing...they were pretty chilly. She also did the slide and loved it! It was a fun time (the whole family went)!! 

Can you see how swollen the top gums look (especially our right side)?
COULD IT BE?
So, Averie has these white bumps on her gums! They are swollen and she is sensitive about them. I think they are teeth getting ready to pop through...but am not sure! They are on the top and I can get a good look at them when she does her cheese face or I tip her upsidedown. I will try to get a picture, but am not sure how well it will turn out. I just noticed them on Sunday. Any thoughts on this??

Averie~ one month - nine months


Averie~10 Months!!
At 10 months, Averie is doing so well! She is crawling all over the place. She is also pulling up on toys, couches and anything in her path! She also moves from thing to thing standing up and picks up toys from the floor while standing. She is very brave about that. We've had a couple of spills. She eats anything and everything (green beans are still her least fav, though). She really loves table food and will probably be switched over to only that very soon (I still like baby food out of convenience for now). Averie is also nursing three times a day (breakfast, lunch and before bed). She is starting to jargon (baby language). She is pointing at things and "feeding" us her toys and food. She sleeps from about 7:30 pm - 7:30 am and takes two 1 1/2 hour naps each day. She talks to herself in her crib before and after each nap and at bed time. It have been so great watching her grow and get so big these past ten months.

So, for all of you out there who haven't posted a comment for Averie...it's time! We're calling you out! No more lurking! Please leave her a message...she would love me to read them to her!

Here I am hanging out at Rece's Birthday on Saturday! I had so much fun!! 

Just a silly face to say have a great weekend!! I am going to Rece's Birthday party on Saturday. It should be so much fun! I am even staying the night at his house. I will post when we get home! 

Averie's New House
Well, it will be official in a week...here is Averie's new house! It is in country, but only about 15 minutes from Spring Meadows so it isn't way out in the boonies! We will have almost 3 weeks to paint and do some updating to it before we have to move in. That will be so much fun! We can't wait to get started! It will also make Averie's 1st bday even closer! YIKES! Can she really that old already?
