I can do everything Mommy does!

Avery LOVES to help! She wants to be a part of EVERYTHING I am doing. If I am cleaning she needs a rag to help, but it has to be wet. If I am making dinner she stands at my leg saying "elp" (help), she wants to stir. When I vaccuum she wants to, when I do my make-up, she sits on the counter and does hers. . .you get the idea. Sometimes I just want to get things done quickly, but I also don't want to extinguish her desire to help and be a part of what I am doing! It is a hard balance, but we are working it out! Here are some pictures of her "helping" mommy!


We were making blueberry buckle! It was delicious, but the kitchen and Avery got very messy! I just go by the motto that everything cleans up!



Avery found my lipstick in my purse and thought it was a perfect color for her! She loves to carry my purse around, I need to get her her own, but I am sure it would not be the same a carrying mine :)

Avery has discovered a love for coloring! We have to work on keeping it on the paper!


Corn on the Cob!! I cut the corn off the first time I gave it to her, but she insisted on eating it off the cob! She ate the entire piece!



Andrew and I are working on re-finishing some furniture that friends of ours gave us. We worked on the 2 dressers last Sunday for about 5 hours. They are looking great! Avery of course helped us sand them down!

She also loves to drive Grammy and P-pops car! It helped to keep her occupied while we worked on the dressers! She is so big!

Seriously - the one of her coloring looked like Es! Her hair is getting so light - but even the face looked like Esther. Her little piggy buns looked cute too!

Ange & Andrew- I just randomly found your blog and had to tell you how beautiful Avery is! (As if you didn't know.) She's such a blend of you both and it looks like you're quite the happy little family. Congrats and greetings to you and your families.
