Avery's Antics 3.6

 

"Why did you show that guy your ticket?"
"I had to show the guard my ID because this is a military base and only people in the military can shop here."
(very enthusiastically) "Is GIGI (great grandma) in the military?!" 
"hahaha.... no."

Going down the stairs...
"I'm so glad I have knees!!! I couldn't bend my legs or go down stairs if I didn't have knees."

Reading Goldilocks and the 3 Bears...
"Why do they all have their own beds?"
"Because they each need somewhere to sleep."
"Yeah, but why are the Daddy and Mommy bear not sleeping in the same bed?!"
"Hmm..." 

Avery and I were out playing baseball in the neighborhood park. After sending a couple of pitches too high she says, "It's a good thing you're just a Mommy and not a baseball player!"
Killin' my field of dreams, kid.

"I'm wearing shorts OVER my leggings so nobody can see my pantylines."
(hmm... maybe I should not have tried to explain thong undies to her!)

Coming home from being at preschool all day:
"It looks like you didn't get much done today, Mom."

Lucky Number 7

Our little dude is growing fast as ever... passing the 7 month marker last week. He's sporting more (very blonde) hair, as well as his bottom two front teeth, which are nearly impossible to photograph thanks to a very wiggly tongue! An eager eater, Lear maintains his rotund physique and has yet to refuse any flavor of baby food - veggies, fruits and meats are all welcomed with a gaping mouth. No success with "harder" foods yet... not that he's lacking in nutrition! Teething has brought about some fits of uncomfort, but overall his disposition is bright-eyed and jolly. Not terribly mobile, Lear's content to sit and watch Avery play circles around him, so long as he's got something to chew on. If you lend your hands, he'll easily pull himself to standing and we have started working on sippy cup coordination. Mostly he loves watching his sister, practicing his consonant sounds ("ba,ba,ba"'s a fav at the moment), and started some waving with his right hand.

Official stats: 21.5 lbs (90%), 27" tall (50%)
