Just Before Bed

This series of video's was taken on January 2nd, so just over a month ago, and they are so cute!  They really show her talking and being herself!  It was right before bed.

Pear

Here's a cute video of Avery enjoying her pear.  By the time I started taking this video she had already been eating it for awhile, so that's why she quickly starts playing with it.  

About the fork...I've been trying to teach her how to use a fork for a few weeks now.  I started with a baby fork and she just wasn't catching on.  Which, how could she because you can't stab anything with the baby forks.  So then I gave her a big fork one day and she's learned how to use it really quickly.  So now I just give her a 'big' fork.  She's not really using it in this video, she's just playing with it, but she does actually use it when the food's cut up.  Anyways, enjoy!  :)

 

A Few Short Steps cont.

It took several tries to get a video of her taking a few steps, so here are the one's that didn't quite make it:







ENJOY!

A Couple More of Avery Playing the Nursery

In this one she was reading a book, by the time I got to her with the camera she was about finished:



Here she is giving kisses. It's one of the few words she understands completely. She's also climbing all over me to get to the camera cord, which she finally does...

Destin

Just a short clip of Avery playing on the beach...

Falling

A few weeks ago I was playing with Avery in our bed when she discovered that falling on a mattress doesn't hurt. I think the initial 'fall' was an accident, but then it turned into a game. She will repeatedly stand up and fall straight back, it's amazing how trusting she is! The problem now is that she wants to do it on sofas and chairs, making it a dangerous little game. But anyways, Holly and I were playing with Avery this weekend in Destin and she started doing it. So Holly grabbed the camera and we tried to get a video of her falling. None of these are very good, but you can get the idea, and they're still cute. I think by the time we started taking pictures she had wimped out and was falling onto her backside first.

Distruction

Avery gets bored REALLY easy. Her toys don't keep her attention for very long. But something she loves is tearing apart her bookshelf. As soon as it's all on the floor I put it all back and let her do it again. This is just a cute video of her being destructive!
