Avi - 12/13/2016

Avilene ate waffle and pears for breakfast.  For lunch she ate some of everything: tuna & crackers, sweet potatoes, and mandarin oranges.  Reid was the last one eating breakfast and when he came out he asked, "Where's the big Captain America shield?"  (Reid had brought 4 Captain America toys from home.  I don't care if the kids bring toys from home, but there has to be enough for everyone!)  So I showed him this picture that I took while he was still eating:  "Here's the last time I saw the big shield and Avi was headed in that direction so it's somewhere on that side of the room."  Ha!  Reid found it in the play sink.  :)  I think maybe Avi was walking blind!  :)

The monitor from the Food Program was here this morning checking up on us and she watched Avilene packing some big blocks around and said, "Those are almost as big as she is!"  I think Avi had 3 stacked together and she was practically running with them.  Ha!  Yup, she's a tough little girl!

Speaking of running, Avi had grabbed one of the Captain America toys and Reid yelled, "Avilene!"  When he yelled that she immediately whirled around and took off running and it was so stinking cute!  I was laughing so hard!  Well done Avi!!  (And she was still clinging to the toy!!  Ha!)

I asked Hudson to hold the bottle for me while I was getting Baby Nora ready for her bottle.  (Probably 2 -3 weeks ago.)  Every bottle since that time (for Nora and Avilene) he thinks that's his job and he does awesome just holding it and waiting for me to ask for it.  I don't think Avi totally trusts his intentions!  Haha!  She keeps a close eye on him while he's holding her bottle!
