We celebrated Avery Lynn's 2nd birthday on January 11th by going to Suson Park in St. Louis on our way to Cape. It was a very fun place to visit, there is a farm in the park and we got to see horses, a donkey, cows, pigs, chickens, goats, ducks, a peacock, and probably more that I am forgetting. It was awesome weather to walk around and check out all the animals. The kids had a blast. Avery Lynn enjoyed choosing what we had for dinner that night (she choose pizza) and she loved having us sing her happy birthday at each meal and for her cupcake that night. As well as at her birthday party the following day (and each time we ate leftover birthday cake for the following week : ) She loved the attention this year of everyone watching her and singing to her. She had a Minnie Mouse birthday party on Saturday in Cape and had fun celebrating with family and some friends.
2 year update:
Avery Lynn did great at her 2yr check-up. She let the doctor do everything he needed to do without any trouble. She didn't even cry when she got her one shot! She made a sad face but then it was over and she recovered. She weighed 22 lbs 11oz (5th percentile). She was 34.5in long (around 75th percentile). Her head circumference was 49.25in (95th percentile).
-Speech: She talks up a storm. She uses multiple words together, routinely making sentences (maybe not completely proper grammar but sentences non-the-less).
-Sleep: She sleeps routinely 11 hrs at night and naps during the afternoon for about 2.5 hrs.
-Food: She eats everything we eat and drinks whole milk. She is a great eater...just like her brother.
-Movement: She runs, climbs, and jumps just like every other two year old. While she may have been slow to start moving she makes up for it now and doesn't slow down much.
-Behavior: She is all 2. She wants to be very independent now. She can be Very stubborn (No clue where that comes from : ) She is wanting to play with other kids (and definitely with Caden) more and more now. Instead of playing alongside kids she is now wanting to be a part of what they are playing or doing. She is much more social now than she was a year ago.
-Other Fun Facts: She is doing great with Potty Training. We are now only wearing diapers at nap and at bedtime! Her favorite places to go in town are to story time at the Library and to church. She loves playing with her babies.
She is a happy little girl and we love her so much!
