Avery Update

Since I've been writing most about Camryn lately, I thought I'd fill you in on some of the interesting things Avery has started doing in the past week or so.

1. She takes her clothes off and says she wants a bath almost every day. Sometimes several times a day.
2. Going along with that one, she'll often take off her diaper with her pants still on somehow. One time Merrick went in her room and found her diaperless and the diaper she had removed had a little surprise in it (number 2). Luckily she hadn't taken the diaper off before nature called. Although yesterday she did pee on the floor... Does this mean she wants attention, is it a phase, or is she getting close to being ready to potty train? Who knows.
3. Oh my personal favorite is she started going in my closet and pulling all of the clothes off the hangers one by one and making a huge pile in there, along with all over the house.
4. She's been learning her numbers so this week we started having her count to ten whenever she's in timeout (which seems to be quite often now that she knows just how to get into trouble!). "Two, free, four, hive, sis, seben, eight, ten." That's pretty cute.
5. She loves to try to put the binky in the baby's mouth whenever Camryn's sad. Partly cute, partly scary that she'll shove it in there too hard!
6. Oh now when she cries out at night she just says "Daddy daddy daddy!" over and over until she finally goes back to sleep. The other night Merrick counted and it was 43 Daddy's in a row. I think last night was even more but I didn't count.
7. She's become obsessed with this one JoJo's Circus episode called "Charlie the Clown Baby" where JoJo helps babysit her baby cousin. I have it saved on the DVR and she watches it at least 5 times a day (it's only 10 minutes long). It's got a cute lullaby song that she likes. Plus she loves helping me take care of Camy so I think that's why it stikes her so. Speaking of clowns...

(Another ketchup mess... I thought it resembled a cute clown face though!)

Well that's all I can think of. She really loved spending time with both of her grandmas when they came out. I think she really just craves the attention now and is trying to make herself heard. She's learned so many words in the past few months it's been so fun. She knows most of her letters, numbers, shapes, colors, animals, etc. Plus she can even recognize 6-7 words when we write them out. It's such a fun age I'm so proud of how smart she is!
