MILESTONES: Avery can now tell us to "shhh" except instead of putting one finger in front of her mouth she puts her whole hand. It's pretty hilarious. She's also added a third dance move to her repertoire. She can now wave her hands frantically, bounce her little tushy and stomp her feet.
OBLIGATORY ADORABLE PICTURE: Taken on Friday at 51 weeks 2 days. She was not very cooperative, but her little half smile is still adorable.
EATING: I've heard toddlers can be picky, but I didn't believe it would happen to us... until now. She is now refusing most veggies and almost any grain. I've taken to putting cheese on the veggies to make them more appetizing. Also, I've found that she doesn't mind being fed most foods. What a diva. 
SLEEPING: The night before last we got 8 hours. EIGHT whole hours. I am so refreshed and feel much more equipped to handle the wakeups for the next few weeks. 
VISITS/OUTINGS: Tomorrow we are going to the State Fair. It will be Avery's first fair and is supposed to be 90+ degrees. Wish us luck!
FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Avery has become a fast fan of climbing stairs. Now we have to be on the lookout for any before she makes a beeline for them and is halfway up the flight.
MOMMY FEELS: Overwhelmed with the fact that my baby will be a toddler -- next week. :::breathes into a paper bag:::
