Avi - 6/21/2018

Avilene ate whole wheat english muffin and bites of oranges for breakfast.  For lunch she ate half of ground beef, ate whole wheat elbow noodles with applesauce, and ate her peas.  (Also covered with applesauce - makes everything so much yummier!)

We'll start with a couple pictures of Svea!  Sorry Avi, but someone has invaded your Blog!  Stop me if you've heard this before, but this is the sweetest Baby!!  Oh good, no one is here to stop me!!  So here's what frequently happens in a Daycare: (and we decided a long time ago we would try hard NOT to let this happen) the most demanding loudest screaming child gets the most attention!  ("The squeaky wheel gets the grease!")  I know I only get Svea during these daytime hours, but she is the least demanding baby ever!!  Here's one example from this morning how I personally determine a baby's temperament!  I knew she was hungry and she'd probably only drank an ounce and here's Linnea standing up holding on to the couch with huge amounts of snot coming out of both nostrils!! And she was about to stick her face in the couch and wipe it all over the place!!  So I sit Svea to the side, quickly go get a tissue, wipe, and resume feeding Svea.  I can't tell you how many babies I've had that would (and have) scream their heads off if I did that!!  I Love you Svea and thank you for being such a sweetheart!  And Nora thinks Svea is such a comfy pillow!!

Here are a couple pictures from Avi's morning;  "Look at me Gary!"  Ok, but stay there for a moment while I grab the camera!  Haha!  She's pretty accustomed to me asking that!!  Thanks for cooperating Avilene!!  We read lots of books, sang some songs, and did some gluing at Art Time.  (following picture)

So here's a picture of how Avi re-entered the Play room after Art Time.  Haha!  I liked how she jumped up - granted it's not a huge jump - but she's always ready for another challenge when it comes to something physical!!  (And you can tell by the picture it wasn't much of a challenge for her to jump up!)  So I asked her if she'd do it again so I could take a picture.  And she was more than happy to repeat it!  Especially because she knew I loved it!!  This is a bit off the subject, but I'm looking forward to the different activities we're planning to start September 1st.  That will challenge her in other ways and I know she'll love doing those things as well!
