Didier Farm with mommy and daddy!

This morning mommy, daddy and I decided to go to Didier Farm so we could pick out the best pumpkins for our house this year. Didier Farm is a great little place not too far from us that has many, many pumpkins, rides, food, petting zoo, ect..... It was a really hot day and the place was crazy crowded but we still had fun. My favorite part was watching the animals but I also liked the yummy donut that mommy let me have as well as the sucker at the end of the trip... Mommy picked out a 20 pound pumpkin and I got to pick out a little one(just my size) for the house. We put them on the front porch. Hope you enjoy the pictures. I gave mommy a really hard time today and almost refused to look at her for any of them and I didn't crack a smile until we got into the car and then I couldn't stop laughing and smiling...(must have been all the sugar from the candy)!!

My first scribbles....

Today mommy and I had our music class and part of what I got to do was practice scribbling with crayons. In the past, I would just eat the crayons but today I completed my first masterpiece. Mommy was proud of me!!

Avery and mommy!!!

Today we went to another 1st birthday party and mommy and I took a really quick picture before our busy day....!!!

Long Grove Apple Festival

Today we went to Long Grove Apple Festival with our friends Christy and Carter. It was an absolute perfect fall day with beautiful weather and we had such a great time. We listened to music, had a picnic lunch and of course took lots of pictures. Mommy said I was a perfect little girl today!!! I had a first today too. I got to ride on the train without mommy. It was just Carter and I and I loved it. I also got a ballon and I picked a flower!! I carried it around with me all morning until it popped:(

Ducka ducka duckas.....

Tonight when daddy got home we decided to go over to Lake Arlington and feed the ducks.... It was another nice and warm day today so it was a perfect night for it too. We brought with us a bagel from home and sure enough in minutes there were ducka duckas coming very close to me(I guess they were hungry and liked blueberry bagels, who knew?) For all of you that do not know one of my very favorite animals are ducks and when I talk about them it comes out as "ducka duckas"....

Feeding them a bagel.. I could throw the bagel but I couldn't get it very far....
Notice bagel in hand... deciding if she should let go of the bagel or keep it for herself

Well......she decided to keep if for herself. It was so funny she kept eating the bagel every time we gave her a small piece for the ducks....... for a little peanut this girl likes to eat!!

Daddy finds it funny that I keep eating the bagel instead of sharing with the duckas..

So fun... thanks dada and mama for taking me to see my feathery friends tonight!

Avery loves her new alphabet book!

Thanks Aunt Paula for the wonderful new alphabet book. Avery loves to look at it 4-5 times a day. She has now learned NOT to rip out the pictures and she is busy learning new words.

See for yourself.....

A new place to visit!!

Mommy is busy at work taking lots of pictures to document all my happenings since I have turned 1. She is going to continue to keep up with my blog but she has also started a new site to store pictures and keep everyone up to date. Please visit my new site at:

www.averygracesherman.shutterfly.com

We are going to store pictures here in addition to adding lots of fun facts about what is going on in the Sherman house!!! It is a work in progress so please be patient as we get new pictures up and mommy figures out what she is doing. I personally think it is just an excuse for mommy to take more pictures of me:)

Happy viewing!!!!
