Avery skills update

On Monday we were having a meeting at our flat and Avery was getting fussy and tired of not being the center of attention. To my surprise and delight she walked over to where I was sitting looked up and whined mama mama mama! I think that counts as her first time of really calling me mama!
She also is starting to say "up" when she wants to be picked up some of the times. She has started to sign "more" while eating but will also do it randomly at other times throughout the day. Not sure if she quite gets it but it is a step towards communicating!
She has gotten back into her grove of sleeping through the night to which we are very very grateful for!
On a more dangerous note she has started to step on things to reach higher and higher. She has found a way to stand on top of her little walker and is only days away from figuring out how to climb over the footlockers that we have placed to create a safe play area for her. Bumps and bruises are starting to become a daily occurrence.
As we have been told each new stage keeps getting better and better! We are so proud of our girl!

Sunday best

Here is a pic of Avery hanging out with Dad outside of church after she had had her fill of sitting still during the sermon. We had Dad's good camera with us today because a fellow SIMer was being commissioned from his home church, the church we attend.

Our big baby girl has reached the age for the classic baby eating spaghetti pic!
