Our Big Girl
Well last week, Wednesday, Avery decided she no longer wanted to wear a diaper. We have had this happen before but this time she was ready. So panties it was and since Wednesday morning that is all she has had. She is now 4 days accident free!! Our little girl is growing up. I cannot believe how quickly she trained herself. I told her while she was peeing that I was so proud of her, the next thing I know I am going to the washroom and Avery comes in "mommy I so proud of you". And she said it with the biggest smile and her head tilted just a little to the side. You know the cute head tilt kids do!
Weekend in Fairmont
Miki taking pictures of the kids upside down. We went to the hot springs but it was too cold outside to take any pictures so all we have from the weekend are pictures of the kids playing on the bed.
Thanks Christine and Kev for inviting us on you baby moon! haha. I am thinking Kevin was regretting it after half a day of Avery saying "Uncle Kevin do this, Uncle Kevin come here, Uncle Kevin what you doing".
This was Avery's bed for the weekend and she thought it was the coolest thing. Not sure why but she loved it.
Happy Birthday Avery
Its hard to believe our little girl is already two! Growing up too quickly. We had her party a few days and boy was it a good one. 35 adults and 10 kids under 3 years of age. We need a bigger house! Dad made another great cake. A 3D horse cake. I don't have a picture of the completed project so will need to get one off someone. Thanks to everyone who came to celebrate. This is Avery opening up her numerous gifts. Spoiled!
You can kind of see the master work of Dad.
All the kids!
This is Avery's excited face.
Opening presents from Auntie Candice
She could not wait until her birthday so we opened Auntie Candice's presents right when they arrived.
Her new hair straightner. Too bad her baby does not have hair. She pretended anyways.
Her very own Calculator (awesome).
Oh and big thanks Candice for the finger paints!! Avery loves them of course and wants to play with them at least once a day. Not my favorite gift out of the bunch.Better late then never
Avery finally decided she wanted to try on her Halloween costume and then insisted Dad take about 100 photos of her. Since this day she has worn it a couple times and even out when we went to a friends house to watch the football game. She is at the stage where she wants to pick out her clothes, dress herself, bath herself......
She even decides when she needs a timeout. The other day she was getting grumpy and started throwing her food (yes the she has moments of terrible two's which I joke and say it is the start of the terrible 16 year), anyways, she after she stopped she came up to me and said "Avery needs a timeout. I go to room and knock on door when better". I said "okay, sweet". She did this again yesterday when she was being bossy (yes bossy, not sure where she would ever get this from, must be her dad). She said "I come out when not so rude". She then goes to her room and comes out a little later and says "Avery so happy". And she is. It is amazing she comes out as a totally different happy girl. I bet all parents are so jelous!
She also decided it was time she wear panties. We will see how this goes. She insisted that she not wear a diaper so maybe that is a good sign. I cannot believe that she is going to be two in 10 days. If you ask her what she wants for her birthday she will tell you "bear toothpaste". Her toothpaste container has a bear on it and she brushes her teeth about 4 times a day.
Halloween
What a great smile!
Well prior to Halloween we would ask Avery "what do you want to be for Halloween" she would say "a princess". So we got her a princess costume. She told us that Carter should be Tigger. I knew in my head that once Avery saw Carter in the tigger costume that she would want to be Tigger. So we borrowed the Yoda costume from Bree and Preston as a back up. Thank goodness we did. Avery managed to squeeze into Tigger (the head piece did not fit).
All About Carter
Well Carter is just over 3 months old now and is growing more everyday. He is 17lbs, 24 inches long and I swear he said "moma" the other day! lolDad always has to get a picture of his kids watching some sort of special ball game. So on game 6 of the world series here is Carter in his ball outfit enjoying the game with dad.
Avery carrying the funny bag out!
She had to be the one to carry the bag, of course!
She is bent over laughing at it. I was in the kitchen and I could here her laughing from outside. She just thinks these are hilarious.
Avery helping to rake leaves
She loves the funny halloween bags that all the neighbors put their leaves in, so we had to go get some. She was pretty excited to be filling the bag with leaves. It took about 1 hour to fill one bag! Good thing dad is so patient.
