Avery's favorite toys

Avery is "loving to love" anything that isn't actually hers...plastic bottles, the rug, daddy's shoes, the diaper bag, lotion bottles, and of course, outlets. Her newest favorite word is "boom,boom,boom." She sounds kinda' like a car. It's funny. She also loves looking at herself in the mirror...she's her momma's girl! We're working on drinking from a sippy cup. She usually just plays with it. We also wanted you to know that Shawn and his bears beat Brainerd Friday night...HUGE!!! Brainerd was undefeated in our district and ranked 3rd in the state! We won 57-55. The biggest win of Shawn's career!

Young Life Doug Richesin Concert

 
Doug Richesin put on a concert last night in Sweetwater as a Young Life benefit. It turned out to be an awesome experience. He is incredibly talented. Two of my Young Life girls, Kayla Beth and Amanda, came to help out with seating. Cam, Derek, and Daiquan were stuck doing parking...it was freezing!!

Avery's first Tellico basketball game

 

Avery got to go to the JV girls basketball game today. She helped her daddy keep the clock. She got pretty into it! People always ask why I don't bring her more. Probably because Momma's a wimp and it wears me out!

Saying Momma!

Okay, so maybe Avery has no idea what she's saying. But, she did start saying, "mamamama" yesterday. Her extensive vocabulary also includes "dadada" and "bababa." However, "Momma" WILL be her first real word. She also got up on her hands and knees for the first time. She didn't last long. She would rather combat crawl...it's pretty awesome.

Tellico Bears

Shawn and his team are 13-5 for the first half of this season. We are seeded around 5th in our district right now and hoping for a good finish. He's been working really hard and has some good boys this year. Wish us luck as we begin the second half of the season!

Playing in my room

This was the first time Avery sat by herself for any extended period (3 minutes!). We got her this giraffe for Christmas. She's starting to figure him out. She'd rather put the balls in her mouth instead of his!

The Most Wondeful Time of the Year

Christmas was wonderful! We spent the weekend at Mimi and Poppi's, and Avery had a blast opening all her gifts. Her favorite part was eating the ribbons and paper, of course. She was a ton of fun!

New blog...thanks again, Lindsay!

I always get the websites from Lindsay on how to post pics...can't do anything on my own! :) Anyway, here is our new blog to see pictures of Avery as she grows. She's six months and getting bigger (and smarter, and prettier!) every day. She was 15 lbs. 10 oz. (50th percentile) and 26 inches long (55th percentile) at her six month appointment. Shawn got me a new camera for Christmas. So, I'm trying to learn how to use it. Hopefully, her pics will get better and better.
