Avery's 19 months...and a week or so





Boy is she a spitfire!!! She is upto all sorts of new tricks. some pictured above...she undresses herself and takes her sleepers off or sweatshirts...anything with a zipper...it's gone. She climbs up and across everything....including our pub table and chairs in the kitchen. Oh, and she has discovered her inner artist, as noted by the display on our wall :)

Along with the new physical skills, comes.. dun...dun...dun...temper tantrums! Phew...she sure gets mad if she doesnt get her way! The other day she slapped herself in the face along with a glass breaking scream - all because I told her she could push the buttons on the new dvd player. She will also sometime throw herself on the floor - it's hard not to laugh, because, even when she's mad...she's so dang cute!

She had infant and toddlers yesterday and all is well. They have no developmental concerns and she is doing really well. She was also seen by a speech pathologist yesterday who also has no concerns. She feels that she is on the cusp of a "language explosion" She has started to make a hello sound when the phone rings...it isnt the word hello - but the same sound. And she started to say baby "bae buh" 2 days ago. She is trying to say ball also. It helps that the speech pathologist's own child is the same age as Avery and at the same speech level. Uh-Oh is still her favorite thing to say next to "duh" referring to our 4 legged hairy beasts. So for now - we just continue to track and monitor her development and see them again in June.
