Michigan - The first week we rented a beach house in Michigan for Mom's 60th Birthday. We went to Benton Harbor which is just around the corner from St. Joseph. It was an awesome week and we had so much fun. The best part it was only 4 hours from home and it was a great trip and we will definitely be going again!

Appropriate places to potty - Since Avery isn't potty trained the only appropriate place for her to poop is in her diaper. It was our usual Sunday night routine of bath, pack lunch, lay out clothes etc. Except this Sunday evening as I let her run around without her diaper on for a little while after bath she decided to potty in an unacceptable place! I was laying out her clothes in her room and look up to find her carrying a book over to me with a suspicious smelly substance. The dogs weren't home so my worst fear was realized. She had pooped and was playing in it! Luckily, it was only one of my fears. She had just pooped on the middle of the living room floor, but fortunately had not played in it. shew! I will spare you the picure although I have it saved in a safe place to embarrass her later in life! She is now more closely monitored when not wearing a diaper!
Teeth - Avery now has 9 teeth. Her top 4 teeth in the front and 2 molars and bottom 3 middle teeth are in. The molars definitely gave us some challenging evenings.
Attitude - Avery is barely a 1 1/2 years old and has already developed what I hope will be similar to what people refer to as the terrible two's, because if not I am in big trouble. She does not like to be told no or you can't because.....
Avery will lay down kick, scream and cry for a couple of minutes until she realizes it's not going to help the situation and gives up. She exhibited this behavior for Dr. Furr at her 15 month check-up (which didn't actually take place until almost 17 months -oops). All Avery wanted was to play with the Dr.'s computer...we all know how this ends. Not to mentioned she melted again when she got the 4 shots after the first meltdown. Needless to say Dr. Furr, nice nurse lady and mommy were not her favorites that day. Avery's Stats: 21.9 lbs and 30.25" She is in the 25% and healthy as can be.
