Sunday night fun in the tub!

I think these pictures speak for themselves!!! Avery LOVES Bathtime!

Nature Trail with mommy and daddy!

This morning mommy had the idea that we should get out of the house and go to the River Trails Nature Center. We had never been before so we didn't know what to expect but it was a fun morning. I saw lots of animals and then I got to play.


Me and Dada

Avery takes on Gymnastics class!!

Today I had my first gymnastics class with mommy. I had such a great time running around, climbing and even working on my jumps. At first I wasn't sure about this as you can see in the first picture.. Mommy had just told me that we were going to go to class but I was pretty content playing with all my new toys from Xmas.

Once I got there I wanted to hold mommy's hand for the first 20 minutes or so but then I warmed up and I was all over the place exploring.

Santa Came!!

Walking in to find that Santa found Meme and Papa's house....

Wow, lots of toys and lots of snow!

A sing-a-ma-jig!! How did Santa know?

Mommy showing me all my stuff in my stocking...Notice I have ONE of my babies in my hand. I don't think I put them down the whole day.

Meme helping me fix my baby's headband.

I got about 50 balls in a bag and I LOVED taking every ball out of the bag by dumping them and then putting on the net...

A Little Peoples Farm..

YEAH BALLS!

Unwrapping a few gifts. I was actually into the unwrapping for about 3-4 rips and then I was on to the next thing.

Huh, you talking to me? (notice baby's...now we have 2 but I assure you Santa and Meme and Papa gave her more than just 2)

A little later in the night... santa had come and mommy took a picture of it for me!

Making snowballs at Meme and Papa's!

This year mommy, daddy and I went to Springfield for Christmas. Actually mommy and I stayed an extra week to enjoy the company. I had such a great time with everybody. Here I am making snowballs inside with Papa and Meme on Xmas Eve day. I was determined to get Meme or Papa to take me outside to do it but it was so cold so Meme had the idea of putting some snow in a bowl and then letting me play inside. Great idea!!!

Feeling the cold snow.. "I think I like it"

Of course there was time for some taste testing too!

Happy Snowball Making 2010

Christmas Party with Moms Group!

On Monday mommy and I went to a Christmas party with some of the moms from our stay at home group. We went to this place called Nibbles Cafe where they have different rooms you can play in. The highlight of the party for me when was I got to decorate my own cupcake and then eat it!! Here are some pictures of all the action:)
