I have a roll of 9′ x 36′ white paper that I use for photo projects, so I thought it might be fun if we got some art supplies and covered the living room with paper to see what Avery would do. With Mom’s help, we set everything up yesterday and made a time lapse […]
We’re fortunate to live about 20 minutes from the nearest beach – McNears Beach in San Rafael. A couple weekends ago, we decided to take a ride and check it out. We thought we’d just go see the beach and maybe sit in the sand for a bit so we brought some beach toys and […]
Recently, we got Avery a membership at Gymboree. Twice a week, Sara (Avery’s nanny) takes her for play time with other kids. On Saturdays, Avery takes a more structured class that includes climbing, sliding, singing, dancing, and chasing bubbles. It’s only been a few weeks but we’re already seeing Avery paying more attention and participating […]
I decided to take some photos of Avery after work yesterday while she was doing one of her favorite things – climbing up on the coffee table. After taking some photos, Avery was very talkative, so I made a quick movie of her practicing her words…
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.
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 […]
I took this video a couple days ago. In it, you’ll see Avery fighting to grab the camera (my phone), walking, and harassing the cat. Typical morning.
Avery celebrated her first Halloween last night… sort of. We decided that we weren’t going to go door-to-door, because when you only have 3 1/2 teeth, there’s not much point to collecting a bag of candy (well, except to put more weight on Dad). Instead, we hoped that Avery would enjoy getting dressed up and […]
