Sunday afternoon fun at the house today… (click to view larger versions)
Avery got a special delivery from Auntie Lauren, Uncle Ryan, and Nolan last week – a Dora the Explorer ATV. Saturday morning, she took her new wheels for a spin around the living room. It was love at first sight and before long she was driving like a pro.
After a month of weekends getting settled and unpacking, we finally made it into San Francisco (“The City” as it’s called around here) for a little fun. The Bay Bridge was partially closed, so we decided to take BART into San Francisco, grab some lunch, and visit the San Francisco Bay Aquarium. Lately, Avery’s been […]
A couple Sundays ago, we took Avery to the park for some fun. Always fearless, Avery climbed all over the playground and bombed down the slide a handful of times. Avery’s been a regular at the park since then – her new nanny Sara takes her there just about every day the weather cooperates.
Yesterday, I was taking a quick photo of Avery to send to Mom at work. I got the photo I wanted and was looking at the photo when Avery wandered over the an electrical outlet (one of her favorite sources of mischief) that she’d been warned not to touch. When I noticed this, I gave […]
(Sorry I’m so late in posting these photos – if you’re reading this, then odds are you know that it’s been a very busy month for Avery, Mom, and I.

A couple weeks ago, Avery had her one year checkup at the doctor’s office. She weighed in at 22 lbs., 8 oz. and is 27 inches tall. These put her in the 75th percentile for height and weight when compared to other kids her age. The doctor was impressed with her alertness and activity level […]
We took a trip down to the mall yesterday and couldn’t pass up the opportunity to hang out in the kids’ play area while Mom did some shopping. Avery had fun and it was an nice opportunity to enjoy the nice weather.
Yesterday, in an attempt to tire Avery out so that she’d have a nap, we spent time talking about the “people” on her onesie – a carton of milk holding hands with a cookie who’s saying “I love you.” By the end of our conversation, I had Avery saying “cookie”. Eventually, Avery tired out and […]
For Avery’s birthday party, Mom (a master party planner and decorator) got Avery a bunch of Dora the Explorer balloons, including the one you’ll see in this video. Since the party, Dora has spent most of her time floating about 12 feet above our living room. Last night, Dora floated into another room and had […]
