19 Months old

Avery was 19 months old on March 14th! How time is flying by.  Avery is moving and shaking more and more. Her vocabulary is getting larger day by day, new words to the mix are Pretzel, waffle, Paw Patrol, hot, brrrr for when something is cold and goooo when running.  She is also mimicking more and more.  She learned to sneeze into her arm, she can blow on her food if it's too hot, she knows when she is in the car seat she needs to have the straps over her arms.  She also loves a great dance party, even though she looks like Elaine from Seinfeld.

Avery has also started to develop her independence, which is a good thing but a patience required by all parties thing.  She gets very frustrated and slaps her hands on the ground when she can't get her way or complete something herself, but we are working through it and we allow her to react her way and when she realizes no one indulgences her she moves on pretty quickly.

To get Avery excited about Easter coming up we started hiding plastic eggs around the kitchen and family room, she loves walking around when she wakes up from a nap and finding them and putting them in her basket. She also loves sitting in the front of the house by the big window watching people and dogs walk by, she says hi and waves to everyone as they go by.  She got smart and brought her chair from the other room to be able to sit. 

I thought it would be more fun to watch some of Avery's latest funny videos of her goofing off at home and playing at Gymboree.
