Avery is 2 years old!

Today is Avery's birthday! There is nothing special happening today. She does, however have her 2 year check up with Dr. Hansen.

Her stats from her appt. are:
33 1/4" tall
26 lbs even

She had a pretty good growth spurt from last year. She went from the 20-25th% range to the 50th%. He said if she stays on this growing curve she will be around 5'5" when she is done growing. That would make her taller than mommy & daddy who are both only 5'2"! Only time will tell..........

Dr. Hansen said that she is very smart for her age and that we should continue to read to her alot to keep her mind stimulated. She LOVES books, so we already do a lot of reading.
Avery was being pretty shy, so she wouldn't do much talking for him. She did get out a 3 word sentence and he thought that was pretty good. When we told him she says 6 word sentences, his response was "WOW! She is definitely advanced".

She has certainly hit the terrible 2's. She has herself a little attitude and her sharing days are over. I feel so sorry for her little friends who we are working on her sharing skills with (again!).

She loves to give and receive lots of hugs and kisses. She loves people. She is little miss social!

She is back in her big girl bed again. She likes it SO much better now than when we first tried her in it back in March. The crib is down for good and put away!

Her birthday party is on Saturday, May 23rd.

New puppy

We bought Avery a new puppy for her birthday! She is a golden retriever, born 3-24-09.

Her name is Morgan Kaila (pronounced kah-ee-lah)

We called a local breeder today to see if he had any still available that he had posted on kijiji.com. He told us he had two left and that we could pick one up today!

Here she is:

She came to us house trained and can sit & shake on command.
