Avery is 3!

Avery is growing up so fast and learning everyday. Over this past year Avery has made really big accomplishments. She switched from the crib to a toddler bed to a big bed; she switched rooms from the baby room to her "Tangled" room; and she moved from diapers to panties and is completely potty trained - she even uses the big toilet instead of the little training toilet. We are so proud of her and amazed at how well she has done. She also became a big sister this year to Phillip which took her about 6 weeks to adjust to someone new in the family, but she was always sweet to Phillip. She is still out little helper and likes to help with dishes and laundry - I know that won't last long so enjoying teaching her while she's interested - and likes to help feed Phillip.
Avery has done really well with colors and numbers this year and we are working on the alphabet. She enjoys watching the Leap Frog videos - Phonics Farm and Numbers Ahoy on Netflix. She also got this Fisher Price iXL learing book that she is pro at and teaches me how to use it.
Avery still has an interest in Phineas and Ferb, Dora the Explorer, Diego, Cars, Princesses, and her new interest at the moment are Monster Trucks - the Dalmatian puppy truck is her favorite.
Foods: she still loves her Cheerios, she likes Chicken rolls, veggie straws, broccoli, sweets, fruit, and new this year - pea pods.
Avery contiues to love to dance and sing and we've been told from the Nursery leader that Avery is the star singer in Nursery. I love listening to the songs they teach in Nursery, right now it's been, "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star", and the "Happy Family" song, and "Happy Birthday" - which she's added the word Birthday this year. She use to sing the song "Happy to you" which was really cute.
Avery also says the funniest things. Right now she's learning amazing and awesome so it's cute to hear her say, "Mommy your amazing!" or "That's awesome, Mom." She also says "That's weird", "Just a minute", "Little Man" to Phillip, "Let's do this" when she is racing around the house with bug (push toy), "I can't see my eyes" when it's dark.
Avery loves to be outside and run around, play at parks, go swimming, jump on trampoline, ride her Dora bike, play in the dirt, play in the snow.
We love our Avery and love to listen to her sing, watch her shake her hips and run around dancing, listen to the funny things she says, watch her learn and grow each day, have her help around the house, watch her make Phillip laugh, listen to her giggle, race around the house with bug. She is so much fun and we count the blessings that she is in our lives.
We love you Avery!!
