Avery turned 18 months last weekend - and it suddenly brought to our attention that she is a big girl now! On Sunday she went right into nursery with her big girl pigtails and she looked so tall to me, even though she is quite short for her age. Avery is by far my bravest baby. Her brothers are very attentive, and teach her everything they know, and she is anxious to learn. She loves to play outside - especially on the slide and the tramp - oh, she loves the tramp. She blows bubbles in the tub and swims like a fish. When our puppy Jasper knocks her down, she cries for a minute and then comes back for more. She loves to sit at the computer with her hand on the mouse just staring at the screen - trying so hard to be like those big brothers!
