You are a growing boy!

You weight 1lb more than your sister did at 2 mos.

You are practicing laughing

{not laughing yet, but I know it is coming soon & I can't wait!}

You are a good sleeper!

You are a sweet, snuggly & mellow baby!

And your umbilical cord FINALLY fell off

{actually the doctor pulled the last little bit off at your 2mo check up}

Coming soon...a REAL bath! :)

Wordless Wednesday

AKA Mater

Sometimes Avery likes us to call her Mater

{you know, like tuhmater without the tuh!}

sometimes she goes by other names...
could be other book or movie characters, family members, pets...
but she especially likes Mater

I told her teachers about this when I dropped her off last Tuesday.

They said it was the sign of a good imagination and they would just go with it.

Here is the conversation from when I picked her up:

Mrs. Lindsay: Well, Avery was Mater part of the day. The other kids kindof looked at her funny when she said her name was Mater, but then they went with it.
Me: OK

Nicholas' Dad: Is that your daughter?

Me: yes

Dad: Nicholas was playing with her when I picked him up. I asked him what his new friends name was. He looked at me and said her name's Mater!
Me: Well, her name is actually Avery...but sometimes she likes to go by other names {SMILE}

Do you think Nicholas' Dad thinks we're nuts!?

Oh, well...I'm sticking with Avery being super imaginative & creative!

Tomorrow is Avery's first long day at school...

wish us (& Mater) luck!!!

rainy day relief

we had a "cold" front come through last night

{can it be called a cold front when the cooled off temperatures are still in the 90's??}

with it came some cooler temperatures and much needed rain

Avery was SO happy to have the chance to do a little playing outside
