Shawn and I singing Happy Birthday to her.
She was more interested in the Elmo ring on top than the actual cupcake.
And that was about all she ate...still not into sweets.
Her present from Mommy and Daddy. Every time we are cleaning we hear a little voice saying, "I help" so now she can.
Loving the vacuum
Sweeping...we have already used this in the kitchen this morning to sweep up some crushed goldfish.
Ready to clean!
Sunday Morning
Avery is obsessed with shoes of all kinds but right now her favorites are her flip flops so it was only fitting that that be her theme.
The cake baker.
Wearing her flip flop dress made by Grandma Sue.
Sunday evening we had Avery's party. Matt, Christina, Phoenix, Gillis, Lindsey, Norman, Ellie, Eric, Shelly, Hatcher, Carson and Zoe helped celebrate!
Sleepy girl after everyone went home.
After having multiple hissy fits that she couldn't get her Build-a-Bear shoes on herself she is finally satisfied with the fit.
Some things I want to remember about Avery at age2:
1. Just this past weekend she added the "I" to her usual "love you." It's been so cute to hear her say, "I love you, Mommy. I love you, Daddy. I love you, Sasha."
2. The MOUSE! Avery has an imaginary mouse. She will say, "Mommy, the mouse!" Mommy..."Where?" "Outside" or "On Daddy's head" and then "Mouse ran away. It was scared of Avery." And we will repeat, over and over and over.
3. Her ever expanding vocabulary! Her first sentence a few months ago was, "I want some more chicken!" Now most of the time she talks in complete sentences and it's amazing the things she comprehends and picks up.
4. She has been free of her paci for one week now! Yay one success this summer!
5. Favorites: Foods - mac n cheese, hotdogs, cereal
Toys - new cleaning set, Sasha, any and all dolls, tea set
Band - the Avett Brother's - yes, she has been brainwashed since birth by her Daddy. She knows almost every song and sings along to many.
Nursery Ryhmes - Mac n cheese aka Yankee Doodle, the wheels on the bus, itsy bitsy spider, I'm a little tea pot
Place - the beach!
6. Avery counts to 10 in English, Spanish, and French...with help, of course. :-)
7. Avery loves to stomp ants out on the driveway.
8. When we were trying to show Avery how to hold up two fingers for two years old she kept saying "Peace!" Thanks to Mariah. :-)
Avery definitely has an independent streak and sometimes she can be a real stinker, like last week when I took her to have her portraits made, but overall she is such a sweet and vivacious little girl.
We love you, Avery Reagan!
