Avi - 12/27/2016

Avilene ate waffle and hash browns for breakfast.  For lunch she ate chicken & cheese quesadilla, carrots, and mandarin oranges.  When she first arrived she walked through the gate and immediately looked to see if Lauralea was in her usual spot.  Nope, she left before you got here today Avilene.  Lauralea stopped in for a few minutes later in the morning and when she was leaving that time Avi was at the gate blowing kisses over and over.

Everyone is a little slow coming back from Christmas!!  Ha!  Only Avi and Hudson are here today, but by the end of the week everyone will be back.  I always love watching how they act after being gone for a few days.  Avi was her usual busy self; playing and experimenting with everything and occasionally she was even slightly amused by Bubba!!  Ha!  Hudson was chanting her name several times this morning; "Hi Avi, hi Avi, hi Avi...."  He took her a book and started saying, "Avi book, Avi book, Aviiiiiii book,  Aviiiiiiiiii book!!"  :)

She was trying hard to put the shapes in the holes and I'd show her which ones fit in the correct hole and she was starting to get how that all worked.

Avilene was sitting on the edge of the mattress bouncing up and down.  Hudson had different plans and decided it was the perfect time to give Avi some loves.  She didn't whimper or yell, but she was scrambling to get away!!  Ha! Nice try Hudson!  None of us get to snuggle her for very long!!  I told Lauralea I never want to quit feeding Avi her bottle because that's the only time I get to snuggle her!!

Here's a picture of Avi looking at a book.  She looked at several books this morning.  Earlier she was being silly and sitting on the floor and whipping her head back-n-forth.  (Like a vigorous "no" head nod.)  Good grief, it made my neck sore just to watch that!  Ha!
