Avi - 1/24/2017

Avilene had bites of breakfast: waffle and hash browns.  For lunch she ate everything: chicken & cheese quesadilla, carrots, and mandarin oranges.

This first picture is left over from yesterday afternoon.  Kenzie, Riley, Sophie, and Avilene were having a "Birthday Party."  Kenzie had just announced that "She's (Avi) eating Birthday Cake and we haven't even sang Happy Birthday to her!!"  Ha!  Yes, and she's 14 months old and didn't read the rules yet!  :)  Kenzie was singing "Happy Birthday" when I took this picture and I like how Sophie and Avi are both focused on her.

Avi had a busy fun morning - just a normal morning for her!!  I love watching her experiment and try new things.  That's always so fun to see!  This next picture was something I've not seen her do before. She was deliberately kicking the can along the floor in front of her.  She had kicked it in the igloo, went in and got it, then put it on the floor and continued kicking it across the room.  The 3rd picture is the same thing she was doing with the clear bowl yesterday.  Peeking at me out of the corner of her eye to see if I'm watching!  Cutie!

I had to run an errand this morning and Lauralea covered for me for 20 minutes.  Lauralea was so proud of herself for getting Avi to sit on her lap while she sang songs to her.  (And bounce Avi on her knee.)  I told her she should be proud because not just anyone gets that privilege.  :)  Lauralea does these cute songs; "Pony Girl,"  "Walk Walk," and "Here we go to Boston.."  Avi was obviously enjoying it a lot!!  Isn't this cute?!  Love it!!
