Bath time... it's always a good time at our house. Averie loves it and would, if allowed, splash until all the water was out of the tub on a nightly basis. I tried to get a picture of her with her hair sticking straight up with shampoo... this was the result-- one big ringlet on top of her head! There has been lots keeping us busy these days, Averie is perfecting her running and knows all of the little crevices in our house that she can fit through... forcing Makena to take the long way around. It makes for a very entertaining game to watch, both girls laughing... neither one sure if they are being chased or doing the chasing! Her vocabulary is growing faster than she is, and now includes phrases! Good girl! (goo giwl), No barking! (no bawdin), and Thank you! (teek too) are among the cute and clever things she's saying, but she'll give almost anything a try.

We have been enjoying the sunshine and taking trips to the neighborhood park. Averie is confident and independent, which, of course, makes me somewhat (very) nervous! She loves going down the slide and will do it over and over and over. To date, there's only been one slide injury... so all in all, I think we're still ahead. I'll try to be better about posting more frequently, after all, I am familiar with the phrase, "a blog with no posts is just a blah....." So, stay tuned for the next post, where I'm sure I'll have some story to share with everyone!

Until then... here's a totally cute picture of a really cool baby!
