Avi - 4/6/2018

Avilene ate oatmeal and half of dried cranberries for breakfast.  For lunch she ate tilapia, two servings of whole wheat elbow noodles, ate green beans, and applesauce.  (A large serving of everything!)  While I was putting the food on the lunch trays Baby Linnea was watching Hudson, Avi, Atley, and Nora all going "head first" off the blue balance beam onto the mattress.  At lunch Hudson was telling me all about it:  "We were standing on our heads and Linnea started laughing.  We did it over and over!"  My favorite sound; all the kids laughing, giggling, and having fun!

First picture: Avi said, "Gary! I jump sideways!"  And she did - several times.  I LOVE how she experiments and will try different ways to jump, run, and throw her body around!  It's very cute and creative!!  Yesterday she bounced on her knees across the mattress!  She's a pretty tricky little critter!

Hudson and Avi were sitting together in the chair and they were driving to "The Saint Patrick's Day" according to Avi!  Ha!   And they each had a phone and were talking to people - usually their "Mommies."  I could hear bits and pieces of what they were saying.  Avi said, "Mommy talking to me about vitamins to eat."  HAHA!!  Then she said, "Oh hi Sissy!  My friends are gone."  Hudson said, "I can't hear you Mom!!  Ok.  I'm happy again!"  Avi said to Hudson, "What are we gonna do?"  Hudson said, "Where's your iPad!?  You gotta plug in your phone!  I gotta have it to get on the airplane!"  Haha!  What a riot!  And on and on and on!

We were doing selfies with all the kids and I love this one of Avi.  After we were done I asked Avi if she'd put my phone (camera) on the changing table.  She took the phone and when I turned around she was scrolling through the pictures!  Haha!  (It only took me a week to master that!)  In the last picture: Avilene was asking for the tunnels again so we played with those for several minutes and the kids had lots of fun.  They crawled through over and over again.  Nora is going along the outside following Atley and touching Atley's head.  You should have heard how loud Nora was laughing!  It was so cute and funny!
