Avi - 2/23/2017

Avilene ate whole wheat english muffin and blueberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate chicken, bites of cracker, ate sweet potato, and canned cherries.  Avi (and Hudson) were in their highchairs blowing kisses to Lauralea when she was leaving.  Right before breakfast when Lauralea said she was leaving Avi walked over to Lauralea's bag and jacket, pointed at it as if to say, "don't forget this!"

This first picture is from yesterday afternoon.  Sophie is in the igloo and asked me cover the entrance. Then she was calling out to Avi; "Come here Avi, come here Avi...."  Avi was getting so excited, but not sure what to do!  It was so cute.  (You can see her anticipation in the picture!)  They both played in the igloo and then Sophie was asking Avi to jump on the mattress with her.  "Do you want to jump with me Avi?  Do you want to jump with me Avi?!?  Huh, huh....yes or no!?!?"  Ha!

One more note from yesterday afternoon; Reid's Dad picked him up and Avi was at the gate watching just like she has many times before.  However, he bent down to her level just a few inches through the gate to say bye to her.  She backpedaled in a hurry!!  Haha!  But she quickly stopped and turned around and waved and continued to wave.  So stinking cute.  She wasn't necessarily afraid of him - he was just TOO close!!  :)

It was very nice to have Hudson back from Denver and have the entire crew here today!!  Lauralea read and sang with the kids for a few minutes before going to work.  Hudson doesn't like to sit on her lap and do the "action" songs!  But he likes to sit and watch!  I love how Avilene is slapping hands with Lauralea!  We read more books later as well.  Sophie asked me if I'd read books and as soon as Avi heard Sophie say that she immediately grabbed a book off the floor and came running.  (Receptive language development is full speed ahead!!)
