MILESTONES: Avery has been working on perfecting her other tricks this week. She's also learned how to open our cabinets and drawers. Time for Phase 2 of baby proofing. 
OBLIGATORY ADORABLE PICTURE: Today this was the first picture taken. She was very cooperative.
EATING: She is a champion eater... mostly only at lunchtime. Today she ate half a huge chicken breast, a few broccoli florets, and a couple pieces of steamed carrots. If I had made more she would have eaten that, too. 
SLEEPING: It has not really improved so we are starting a new method as outlined in The No Cry Sleep Solution
VISITS/OUTINGS: Yesterday we drove with Aunt Stacy to Sacramento to pick up Ma'am and Cousin Kayla. Today we had fun all day with Kayla and we are so glad she will be here for another week!
FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Avery is a little fish. She loves swimming almost as much as her Cousin.
MOMMY FEELS: Proud of her baby girl. I love watching her grow and learn and become an independent person. 
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO: Spending time with Avery's cousin, Kayla, while she is here on vacation for the next week.
