17 months old!

I can't believe my sweet babies are almost a year and a half years old! They are getting too big too fast! They are so much fun and we are enjoying them so much. It's so fun to see their little personalities coming out. Here's what they are up to at 17 months...



Avery is my sweet and a little bit sassy, always busy, always running, and smart little girl. She is babbling a lot lately and always trying to figure things out, like the way buckles work. She's always copying and mimicking what we do. And she loves animals, especially dogs. Her new thing is if she sees something she is interesting she gets an excited look on her face and says "oh!" so clearly and excitedly. She loves her binkie and I love how she gets her bunny binkie and lambie stuffed animal and cuddle up with them when she's tired or wants to relax. She loves to give kisses and when Cory or I ask for one she walks up and tilts her head up so cute to give a kiss. She is very tall and thin and petite but surprisingly has a very good appetite! Most meals she eats just as much if not more than Asher and he's always been a pound or two ahead of her in weight. She's such a smart little thing and I'm amazed at the things she understands, like when I sit down to change Asher's diaper and realize I need a diaper or wipers I can ask her to get them for me and she knows to go to the basket and get them and bring them back to me. The first time I asked her to do this was a  couple months ago and I was so surprised she actually knew to do this. She's a little second mom to Asher sometimes and will go get his bottle off the ground or his teddy bear and take it to him when he's watching Barney or something and she thinks he needs it. It's really cute. She knows where her head, nose, tummy, mouth, etc are and has been playing peek a boo with us for awhile. Her wave she has been doing for probably six months (she started waving really young) is so cute. She waves her hand with her hand perfectly rotating at the wrist, like a little parade wave. I've never seen a baby wave so gracefully. She loves her daddy and will say "dad!" very clearly, calling it out throughout the house. She's also got a little stubborn streak and has started throwing little tantrums when she doesn't get what she wants!
She is such a sweetheart and we couldn't love her more!
