Our Avery Mae turned TWO! Dave took the day off of work and it was a fun filled day of celebrating. We started the day off with sprinkle pancakes with whip cream. Avery woke up wanting to go pet a dog so we granted her simple wish. We headed to the mall to the pet store. If you pay a dollar you can pick a dog and they put you in a little stall and let you play away. The girls picked a puppy that liked to nip so Avery didn't last very long. Addison would have stayed in there all day if we would of let her. We ate a quick lunch at the mall with Grammie and Papa before heading home. Avery got to open her gifts when we got home and boy was she happy. She was spoiled by her Aunts and Uncles and Grandparents. Her favorite gift was a little flower purse that she insisted on carrying around the rest of the day. Addison had picked her out a book about owls that she wrapped carefully. Addison did a really good job letting the day be about Avery. Avery shared a lot of her toys and Addison was happy to play with what she was given:) Avery took a good long birthday nap with made us all happy. Sadly I wasn't feel good at all and had thrown up at the beginning of the day. After naps Dave and I gave her our gift which was a mini trampoline. Her new phrase is, "Watch this!" as she jumps her way up and down. Avery picked macaroni and cheese and fruit for dinner. Avery's party theme was Milk & Cookies. The girls played a game with finding cookies hidden all over the house. We sang happy birthday and dug into a giant double layer cookie cake with pink frosting. We topped it off with mini milk jugs full of pink strawberry milk. We jumped in the car after our bellies were full and the girls were hyped up on sugar. We told the girl that we had a surprise for them. We took them to an indoor trampoline place and they LOVED it. Addison even made a few baskets in the basketball hood area. She was able to jump pretty high and got it in a few times. Both girls ran over and over into the foam pit. We were all worn out by the end of the night. Avery had a great day and is loved by so many people!
Avery's Favorites:
Food: Fruit snacks (she begs for them every second of the day!), Macaroni and Cheese and apple juice
Toy: Cinderella Baby doll and the shopping cart ( she runs it all over the house and crashes it mostly into the table and cabinets)
Words: Her language has exploded since we finished speech therapy about a month ago. She'll repeat everything and anything you say!
Favorites: Kitty Binky (it's so gross and we'll be lucky if she doesn't go to kindergarten with it!), a soft blanket wrapped over her while rocking her to sleep (I love that she still lets us rock her to sleep everynight), Swinging in the back yard (She could sit and swing for hours. Addison is getting pretty good and pushing her as well:), Getting into my makeup EVERY time I turn around.
We love you Avery Mae! This year has been a challenging one in learning who you are and how to communicate with you. We love your cheesy grin and how you swing your arm back and force and waddle when you run. I treasure the cuddles that you give me each and every day and hope that they continue for a long time!!
