Tired, Sleepy Anna

Too tired to eat her snack...the Thanksgiving Holiday has worn her out!

Maw Maw and her Girls!

Cuddling with sleepy Anna!

Smiling -- Avery too interested in TV

All watching the TV

Avery our Budding Photographer!

These pictures were taken by Avery with the camera! She did a great job!!

Pilgrims and Indians!!

As a Family one night, we decided to make Pilgrim and Indian hats because Avery was telling us all about them from school! So here is our attempts!

My Little House Cleaner in Training!

Anna learning how to clean with the rest of us! Avery has been trained very well...I am sure I am turning them into OCD children just like myself, but Avery is actually a really big help with the windex and windows!!! :) Anna is also learning to cheese for the camera or make silly faces.

Random!

Anna's Kiss Face!







Anna Loves to Sit when you open the Fridge door...so silly!

Avery Update!

We had Avery's Parent Teacher Conference at school and it went very well. They did a 3 year-old assessment for her and she is excelling at all checkpoints. She is able to write her name, counted to 69, identified all her letters and their sounds, can use her fine motor skills to color and cut, can write the entire alphabet, listens well, takes turns well, and a list that keeps going. She is doing better with being nice to her friends with her words (which we had a time where she was not being very nice to her friends). She loves music, Spanish, and Chapel. Overall, the teacher said she is a joy to have and will do very well in school. She also loves to play "Teacher", wonder where she gets this from? She also has a big heart for a little boy named Henry in her class who is younger and has cochlear implants (hearing devices)...she is very mothering to him, makes his cot each day for nap and helps him get his implants to the teachers. Got to love her big heart and concern for others. Just a little update on Avery and her school!

15 months!

Anna turned 15 months on Halloween, so we had her MD appointment this week. She is doing great. We have made some diet changes to encourage her to poop easier and it has made a huge difference. She weights 22 pounds (48%), 30 inches long (30%) and head at 48.5 (97%). Verbally she is starting to improve each week. She loves music, loves dancing, and loves to imitate her sister. She is eating great and sleeping well besides when her molars were coming through, but I think we are now through with that for a while!

Halloween 2010!

Halloween this year was great! Our Doughnut and Doughnut hole were a huge success! Thanks Mom and Aunt Linda for making these costumes! Avery enjoyed trick or treating, but when asked at the end of the night..."what was your favorite part about today?" She replied..."passing out candy, so every kid got a piece." Too sweet. She was shy with trick or treat and was tired after about 30 minutes so she spend the rest of her evening passing out candy. It is nearly impossible to get a picture of the two of them together...here are a few of my failed attempts.
