Only 15 Months Old...

and Avrey can already say the usual 'baby's first words' like mommy, daddy, hello, and goodbye. However, lately she has decided to be an over-achiever and has learned to say bicycle, shampoo, circle, cookie, tubbie (bath tub), chippie (tortilla chip), Yee-haw, Wubbzy (Wow! Wow! Wubbzy - her favorite tv show), milk, pine cone, Ah Geez, and numerous others.

Some amazing things that Avrey can already do...
-put on her own crocs
-brush her teeth
-point to pictures in a book when asked
-dip french fries in ketchup
-feed herself with a spoon
-walk around in mommy's shoes
-throw and kick a ball
-and much much more!

Sleepy Time Poem

Today I played
with my friends,
But now my day
is at an end.








My little eyelids
softly close,
I rub my blankie
on my nose.








I'm drifting softly
off to sleep,
Tonight no need
for counting sheep.

I have been busy...

I have learned how to put on mama's shoes; now I just need to learn how to tie them.

I have been catching a few 'winks' while riding to the Lucky Wishbone in the car.
Lastly, I have been perfecting this straw trick! Hah - I made you laugh!

Wild Flowers

Let the rain fall down upon her
Let her dream for she's a child
She's a free and gentle flower growing wild.

I would pick her from the garden
I would keep her to be mine
She's my free and gentle flower, growing, growing, growing wild.

KETCHUP!!!

I went out for dinner to the Glacier Brewhouse (a fancy AK restaurant) with the Campbell Clan last weekend and guess what I learned to do? I can now dip french fries into KETCHUP!!!



Mmm... Mmm... Good!

Potter's Marsh Excitement

On July 21st, Mommy and Daddy took me to see the ducks at Potter's Marsh.


I decided to wear my new orange crocs that Aunt Ann Campbell bought me.


I accidentally threw one of my shoes over the boardwalk railing and Daddy's friend Leif, who works as an Abercrombie model, slid down a 20 foot pole into the mud and water, got my shoe, and climbed back up. MY HERO!
