How old are you?




When you ask Avery, "How old are you?" this is what he'll do. We don't think he understands the concept that he is one yet, but he's gotten praised for putting up one finger, so he'll put up a finger like this.

We also visited the doctor's this week because we were all exhausted, and under the weather. She told us that yes, maybe Avery and I have a cold, but really it all was about sleep. She said that Avery should not fall asleep drinking a bottle. We put him to sleep the last two nights without a bottle, just a book and bed. And he's slept right through! 7pm until 5am Thursday, and 7pm until 6am today! Sleep! Yay! We're going for 7pm to 7am tonight. It IS the weekend, after all. We should have had this talk with her a LONG time ago.

All he has is one number. He is, no doubt, perplexed by the theoretical possibilities but can not escape the feeling that having more fingers means.... more numbers.

One! Wow - I wonder what it is about the bottle. Thank goodness he's sleeping the night!

Galloping and Pumpkin Rides

Updates: 1. Avery has learned how to gallop. He calls it skipping, and he has been doing it all around the living room, street, park, store... since yesterday afternoon. Everywhere. 2. Avery asked Walker, "What alphabet does your name begin with?" 3. I asked Avery what we are going to do tomorrow, and he said, "We are going to get some hay and ride on a pumpkin!" He's very excited, although he seems to have it switched around a bit.

A New Food Every Three Days...

Image
If you were to try a new food every three days for about a year, don't you think you'd get to the point where you had to be really creative to find something new? With combinations of ingredients, knowing that you have tried one dish, you would think that you'd exhaust the possibilities. Well, we've been new foods like this for some time now, and every time I go to the grocery or Farmer's Market, I come back with something new for Avery. Ritz crackers were introduced today! Chive cream cheese was on the menu a few days ago. This evening, we combined the two for Ritz cracker and chive cream cheese fiesta. Avery hogged down seven crackers piled high with cream cheese, had a huge piece of extra sharp cheddar, and some berry applesauce. This was all washed down with a huge bottle of organic whole milk, which friend Jeanna says, "tastes like fresh cut grass and ice cream." I am going to try to make a list of Avery's favorite foods : Veggies -sw...
