over the last month...

i can't believe it's been a month since i last posted anything! i'm starting to feel better, so hopefully we won't go that long again - but my camera is broken, so in the meantime, pictures from our phones will have to suffice :)




avery's job is to wake daddy up every morning...sometimes she does so with a back rub, sometimes with kisses, and sometimes by "decorating" :)




we brought avery's potty into the bathroom a little while ago, and although she would sit on it, she usually wouldn't "do" anything in it, save a few rare occasions. however, over the last few days, she's peed in it once every day - so exciting! we always jump up and down and make a big deal out of it, so hopefully this will continue...i'd love to have her out of diapers before the baby comes!!




we go for walks almost every day, and sometimes we go to the playground down the street from us. avery is loving all the crunchy leaves of fall, and i can't wait to see how to plays in the snow! she's a really big girl on the playground, and can do everything, including climbing the little rock wall, all by herself! tonight when we went, there were 3 other toddlers there, and she was very good about waiting patiently for her turn, and not pushing the other kids! we are really proud of her!
