Avi - 10/23/2017

Avilene ate (after waiting the required 10 minutes Mommy!!  Haha!!) peaches and no whole grain chex cereal for breakfast.  For lunch she ate bites of hamburger meat, ate hamburger bun, no lettuce, tomato, or mushrooms, ate avocado, and bites of oranges.  I've haven't talked much lately about what I consider a "serving size" for this age group.  As all my Families know I participate in a Federal Food Program (CACFP) and you can look online to see what they consider a serving size for different age groups.  I think their servings sizes are small (and I also think it's just a suggested minimum).  So my serving sizes are considerably more than what they have listed.

Avi was SO cute after I washed her up and got her out of her highchair.  She said, "Thank you" with no prompting and I loved it!  Awww!!  It was so sweet.  Also, at the breakfast table she was talking about brother Peter having a robot in his bedroom.  :)

Several of you have asked about the new Baby and when she starts so here's an update!!  Her Name is  spelled Linnea and is pronounced "la-may-ah."  Full name is Linnea Ann Goe-Midtlyng.  (Mommy's last name plus Daddy's last name.)  So far Hudson has called her "Ba-na-ah."  And then "La-ba-na-ah!"  Haha.   For pronunciation # 3 he asked, "Am I gonna hang out with La-ba-na?"  She was born in July and will start November 13th which happens to be the day Avilene Nelson turns 2!  (Which opens up an Infant spot.)  I'm super excited for this addition to our Little Treasures Family and the kids and I will have lots of fun getting acquainted with "La-may-ah!!"  :)

It was pretty cute when the kids were waving at Momma Molly this morning.  A neighbor was walking his dog just before you drove up so it sounded like this in the Daycare Room;  Me - "Here comes Mommy!  Wave at Mommy!"  Avi - "There's a doggie walking!"  Me - "Here comes Mommy! Wave at Mommy!" Avi - "There's a doggie walking!!"  :)

Here are some pictures from this morning's activities;  Atley was pushing Avi around and around in the swivel/rocker chair.  In the next picture Avi is jumping blind off the climber.  :)  In the last picture Hudson had been mimicking Avi and wandering around "blind" too, but he wasn't about to follow her up onto the balance beam!!
