One, two.... and other important numbers

One, two buckle my shoe.

Three, four shut the door.

Five, six pick up STICKERS!

Seven, eight lay them straight.

Nine, ten do it NOW!

Hilarious. Seriously, because we say the lead in and she finishes the sentence. Oh. My. Goodness... that girl is so funny. The Averieisms are catching on around our house and I'm starting to wonder if we're going to ever go back to the real words. We've been using arricious for delicious and mine sorry for I'm sorry... really, the list could go on and on.

To make the most of the rainy days, Averie has been getting good use of the rain boots, which she likes to wear with the snow suit... it's pretty funny (see above!)! I have to say though, I'm kind of glad she's actually wearing the snow suit and it didn't just get one use! She's also been playing with her friends Katy and Kendall or, as she likes to call them, bebe-kendow. It takes a little drive on the part of me or JoAnne, since they live in Benicia, but after two hours we both have kids who take really good naps, and we've had 2 whole hours of adult conversation. Win, win... that's all I have to say.


Makena has a new look (sure to be captured by Averie on her camera!). She recently cut 8 inches off her hair so she could donate it to Locks of Love. She's been rocking the very cute bob for about a week now and has gotten tons of compliments. We're very proud of her for sticking it out long enough to reach the 8 inch length needed for donation!



She is also getting very excited for softball to start. This will be her first year trying it out, so she's been practicing playing catch with Rob, and has been to the batting cages with her mom. So far, she seems to like all of the pieces! Stay tuned for sports updates for her.

And Evan... my sweet little boy! He's already 3 1/2 months old... where does the time go? He has been full of smiles and giggles and has begun to show interest in the toys we give him (although his favorite toy is his hand... it's always in his mouth!). He's cooing and talking to us too! Oh. Sigh. I put him in the Bumbo seat last week to see if he was strong enough to sit up in it... of course he is. He really liked it too!

My not so good camera work... but look at that amazing smile!

And for me, 4 weeks. I have 4 more weeks to decide if I should or shouldn't go back to work... or to wait and see if working 2 days per week will work out (best of both worlds?). This has been a weight on my mind and I'm trying to optimistic about it. . So... until I really have to make the decision, I have four more weeks of enjoying my babies, all day, every day! I LOVE that.
