Avi - 4/19/2017

Avilene ate a bite or two of french toast and ate strawberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate several bites of Paleo Stew - with burger, and at least 6 vegetables in it - broccoli, cauliflower, brussel sprouts, carrots, green beans, and tomatoes.  She ate bites of crackers and ate tropical fruit.

Avi has been enjoying sitting for all of Story Time lately.  Today I read probably 8 Special Books and some of those are much longer than the board books that are out and available in every toy set.  After Story Time Reid said, "That take 14 hours!"  Ok, it was long, but not that long.  :)

Reid and Sophie were being rowdy on the mattress and Avilene was right in the middle of it all.  The rowdier the better for her!  Reid was trying to 'scare' her (playing - not mean) and yelled a couple of times and she just looked at him and laughed!  Whatever Reido!!

I took this picture when Avilene was putting shapes in the bucket, Hudson was slinging them out of the bucket almost as fast as Avi would put them in, and Nora was curious about the situation.  Speaking of Baby Nora, when I put her down for her nap this morning Avilene started singing, "night night baby, night night baby."  (Sophie and Hudson sing that all the time.)  That shocked me and it was SO cute!!  Her vocabulary is growing (exploding) and now starting to put sentences together.

It was so pretty outside this morning and we played in the sunshine!  YES!!  Hudson asked, "Do art, do art?"  So I said we'd go outside and do sidewalk chalk and everyone was thrilled.  I think they each made 1 line and the over-achievers made 2 lines.  Ha!  We're done!!  They were off to more fun stuff!
