Baby #2!!!

Avery is 30 months old. I can't believe she is almost 3!!!

She loves Dora the Explorer and Go Diego Go!

She would live on pickles alone if I'd let her.

She loves salt and pepper on her food much to David's dismay. The other day we ran out of salt and he sliced up some cucumbers for her. I told him to just pretend like he put salt on them, so he did and handed her the plate. She took a bite of cucumber, stood there and looked at it and turned around to David and asked for salt. There was no tricking her. So he was able to get a tad bit out of an old shaker and put it on. She took a bite and it passed her inspection so off she went with her plate of cucumbers.

She absolutely adores playing outside with the neighbor kids and yells "friends!" when she sees them. She especially loves the 11 year old across the street, Kayla.

She's getting to be such a big girl and she just makes my heart want to burst!

In other news, March 1st we found out we are expecting another baby Irving! I am 13 weeks and 1 day. I was looking back at this blog and reading where I was at this time in my last pregnancy and it's pretty much the same.

I am only a few months behind Amy and found out that a high school friend is due Oct 24 and I'm due Nov 5th! Another high school friend is due in August I think. The girl across the street is pregnant and my neighbor has a 4 week old baby. Something is in the water I guess :0)

I'm super excited for Avery to be a big sister!

I had been trying to study for my certification to become a natural childbirth instructor but I've been too sick so thankfully they've let me change which workshop I'm attending to next February. First it was going to be in October but that was too close to my due date so they bumped me up to July. I just can't get everything done by then. I can't wait until I can start teaching classes!

I know that only about 3 people are going to read this. I took most everyone else off the list. That's ok. I want this part of life recorded for this baby too :)

26 Months

A few little tidbits about our girl.

She's almost 27 months.

She loves to eat. She asks to eat all day long. Here are some of her favorites:
-"ice cream" which is really frozen yogurt in a tube.
-still loves pickles.
-French's fried onions
-suckers
-corn on the cob
-cereal
-salad

She eats the best at breakfast.

She has moved on from Elmo. Her new TV favorites are Caillou, Blues Clues, The Backyardigans (Birds, she calls them) and Mickey Mouse (mouse she says).

She likes to wear hats.

She likes bust out in song. She likes for us to sing while she plays an instrument.

She has an obsession with sticking her hand in her diaper/pants.

She loves to take baths and asks to often.

Every day when her daddy comes home she repeatedly asks to jump (David throwing her on the bed) and play. REPEATEDLY!

She loves to paint and draw.

She can count to ten and literally wakes up counting. I even heard her count backwards: 3,2,1!
