Avi - 3/21/2018

Avilene ate half of whole wheat toast and ate mangoes for breakfast.  For lunch she ate ground beef with marinara sauce, whole wheat spaghetti noodles, squash, and two servings of fruit salad.  How long did it take for Hudson and Avi to start "bickering!?"  I'm glad you asked!  Avi arrived at 8:45, we have breakfast at 9:00, so the answer is 15 minutes.  Haha!  During breakfast time:  "I'm 2!"  "No! I'm 2!"..........Well it's nice to see that you kids missed each other!!  :)

Here are a couple pictures of Hudson and Avi playing together and Hudson covering her with blankets as she was requesting him to do.  I didn't notice until after I edited the first picture, but zoom in and it looks like the doll is grabbing Avi's foot.  Haha!

Next picture: All I have to say; "Does anyone want to do sign language!"  or  "Does anyone want to sing some songs?"  or  "Does anyone want to do Hickity Pickity?"  And they race to the step below the window and I sit in the chair facing them.  In the picture everyone is looking at Hudson and I'm sure he was sharing some of his insights learned at the petting zoo in Arizona while he was gone!  :)

Another milestone reached today!!  :)  Avi stood up on the "first level" of the igloo and jumped off onto the mattress.  Ha!  Way to go Avi.  Atley actually did it first this morning which surprised me and I yelled and cheered for her.  Avi listened to me cheer and must have thought she better do it too!  Haha!  However, after a few jumps Avilene was totally sticking her landings like a boss and several times landed on her feet and just stood up.  Love it.
