Never more proud

I had been talking about getting Avery a potty seat for awhile, just to introduce her to the idea. Some people thought that I was crazy because she is still young, but I just wanted her to sit on it in the mornings and after nap times to get used to the idea of the potty. I read some reviews on different potty seats and choose one (I like to buy 5 star products). :) Anyway, after Averys afternoon nap I sat her on the seat. At first she just wanted to play with it, so I sat on the regular toilet and proceeded to sing "pee pee in the potty, pee pee in the potty". She liked my song:) She sat for a minute, leaned forward and smiled at me and when she stood up. . .

This is what I found!!! I was so happy!



I ran into the living room to grab my cell phone, so I could take a picture and send it to Andrew (he was away). By the time I got back she had her hand in the poop and I was laughing and cheering. Avery just danced like "mom is happy and I don't know why cause this stuff is nasty"!! I was so proud! The first time she ever sat on the potty she pooped. She hasn't done it since, but we still sit her on it!


Sometimes she just plays with the potty!



Oh well, I was one proud mommy!

Wedding Fun and More

This past weekend we went to our cousin Doreens Wedding. It was a lot of fun and a nice time for us to spend some adult time together. Most things we do we do with Avery. . .we want her to be an addition to our lives so we like to make sure she is a part of most things we do. For this occasion children were not invited so Uncle Matt and Auntie Brooke got to watch Avery, which we heard was also a fun time:) Here are some pictures from the day!
Doreen and Time released these Doves. It was cool and I learned that they fly back to their home which is somewhere in Philadelphia! I thought that was awesome that birds are trained to do that!
Big Fish (aka Andrews dad) got to be the Captain of our table which basically meant that he had to serve drinks and motivate the table to dance with his "awesome" dancing ability. (the man CANNOT carry a beat - bless his heart! But he has so much fun trying!!) This is him wearing the captains hat!
This is Big Fish and Mama Fish dancing together! They had so much fun together!










I love Andrews picture face!!

















Big Fish and I "twisted" it out together! It was fun!











Andrew and I dancing together - He is a good sport. I drag him out there to dance with me!
















I painted Averys toes too before the wedding! She thought it was great!
Here is the final product!
This is a bracelet that cousin Olivia made for Avery. She love to wear it! Thanks Olivia!

Avery is getting so big - she climbs in and out of the glider now all by herself. Sometimes when I am getting ready in the morning she will climb into the chair with a book and flip through it (backwards of course); it is so cute!
