Avrey's Accomplishments

Avrey has been learning all sorts of new things recently. She amazes me everyday. If you ask her what a monkey says she says "ah ah ah", it is so cute. She can also make a cow sound, and a cat. I will have to try to catch her on video sometime. She is such a climber. I caught on the chair in our living room the other day. She loves her big brother Jacob even though sometimes he is too rough with her. It is crazy how much she learns just from watching him.Her new thing now is that she wants to feed herself with a spoon which most of you know how messy that can get. I took some pics of her today and she actually made most of it in her mouth. I can't believe it! She still loses some of it on her bib and her face is pretty messy but it is too cute.

Halloween 2008

Halloween was fun this year. Every year we have Jake, Katie, Evan Zach over for trick-or-treating. But this year Lisa, Chad, Debbie and Ken came over as well. The kids all seemed to have fun and they all got lots of candy. Obviously Avrey had no idea what was going on. It was cute to see her walk around in her little fairy costume though. I think she got a little candy, but her favorite was the teddy grahams. Probably because that is the only package she recognized. Jacob actually dressed up this year. Last year he would not put his costume on for anything. This year he was an train engineer. Go figure! All the kids looked great! Katie had a great idea and made Evan a birthday present. How creative! Zach was a race car driver and Chad was a little monkey. All very cute. Unfortunately I do not have pictures of everybody. But here are the few I have. I included one from last year of Jacob and Evan. I can't believe how much they have grown.
