Sound Machine

Someone suggested buying a sound machine to try and help Avery sleep better and it worked!! She is the worlds lightest sleeper and it has helped a ton. We used to always go in and kiss the girl's goodnight, but had to stop with Avery because she would wake up. I would crack open the door and she would bolt up. Then it would take her almost an hour to calm back down. Now she listens to the ocean really really loud all night and sleeps for the most part a lot better. She is still getting up a couple nights a week, but is also sleeping in a lot later as well (like 7 instead of 5:30!). Avery has really developed a little personality in the past couple weeks. She is learning to walk behind her push toys and is getting really good at it. Addison likes to cheer her on as she does it. Avery loves bananas and her favorite thing to do while eating them is to smear it in the sides of her hair. It makes her hair really crusty and stick straight out. It makes us all laugh when she does it. We've taught her sign language for the word more. She is catching on how to do it and it is really neat to see. She gets really excited when I say, "More" to her and she will do it back at least once a day. Avery has finally found her voice. For the longest time I thought she was going to be really quiet and reserved. Now she blabbers and calls all day long! She says, "Ma Ma" the most, but has said, "Da Da" as well. It's mostly when she wants to nurse or be held though. Today when I was helping Addison brush her teeth Avery was trying so hard for me to pick her up she pulled my pants down! She started giggling and it was really cute. Avery gives me hope that I'll have a good eater in my family. This girls eats and she eats good! She'll eat almost anything that I give her and eats double what Addison eats. It funny how different they are. Avery now how almost three teeth with the third one being her top tooth. She just discovered eating watermelon and loves it! Avery is almost 11 months and is changing so much every day. She's entering that wild woman phase at church now that she's much more busy:)
