Avi - 12/11/2017

Avilene ate cheerios and banana for breakfast.  For lunch she ate half of ground beef, ate whole grain pita bread, no tomatoes, ate two servings of olives, two servings of avocados, and ate watermelon.   Well we have a visitor today; Reid is here all day and we are having a blast.  (At least I've been thoroughly entertained!!)  For example; here's a note from breakfast, not about Avi, but I think you'll like it.  At the breakfast table Reid was watching Nora eat her cheerios and said, "OH MY GOSH!!  Look how much she put in her mouth at once!!"  LOL!  SO funny!  (It actually is kind of impressive!)  Speaking of funny; I remembered that cheerios did not settle well in Reid's tummy so I asked; "Do cheerios still give you stinky burps?"  He said, "Yes, rotten egg burps; but if you have chocolate ones?!"  LOL!  Haha!  I roared!  Nope, fresh out of those, but nice try!  :)

So the first picture is all about the chair.  Just like "old times" right!?!  Remember how Avilene loved to tease Reid by "stealing" his chair every chance she got!  Reid solved the chair problem this morning; he just reclaimed possession of it!  He said, "Well it was mine!"  Then he shared a solution; "I bring our truck, put chair in back of truck and bring it home!!"  He loved that chair and literally spent hours in it - including sleeping in it occasionally!!  He was enjoying having Atley and Avi push the chair around and around as well!   Then in the 2nd picture Reid was doing some block building and immediately had three squatters in his house.  :)

Here are a couple more pictures from this morning's activities.  Avi was jumping off the step, but jumping away from the mattress.  Made my knees hurt just to watch her!  :)  In the last picture she was taking advantage of the top of the block shelf to reach the top of the blocks.  I don't usually let them play up there, but she was doing a good job with problem solving so I told her she could finish her project!
