Rolling Ridge Ranch

Avery's 1st trip to see real animals up close and personal. She went with Mimi, Kaidrie, Aunt Beth, Megan and Clay. Mimi said her mouth was open and arms a flapping most of time - which means she was super excited!







I love my BIG sister :)




Look out they let Clay take the reins!

Update!

Avery is fine, yea! :) She slept great!....mommy didn't though!


Here is a video from yesterday. Of course I couldn't get her kicking and splashing and jumping around in the water but this is also one of her favorite things to do in the water. Julia informed me later on that Kaid said "the stroller pushed Avery......but the stroller didn't move on it's own." (You gotta love kids! :) Kaid loves her baby dolls and is very possessive of them and was pushing them around in the baby stroller and Avery was going after the stroller/babies and Kaid doesn't want ANYONE touching "her" babies/stroller. Guess we learned that they can't have the stroller outside together. Isn't the first boo-boo and certainly won't be the last since Avery is such an active child!

Our Day!

Our day started out like any other day...............

Avery is so proud of herself! She can climb up and sit on her chair all by herself!


Ok so I said I have a climber, it didn't stop at climbing on the chair......Oh no - she had to climb onto the table! Even more pleased with herself :)
A day doesn't go by that she doesn't stick out her belly!


Then we went swimming at Mimi & Pop-Pop's......
She is on step the 2nd step and it's to her mouth and she doesn't care! No fear this child has....yet!

All smiles :) until.................


GOOSE-EGG! Avery is VERY independent, always has been! Tonight when she was getting out of the pool I was trying to help her - MISTAKE! I helped her alright - She was crawling out of the pool on her hands and knees and I put my hand on her lil butt to help her up and to make sure she didn't fall backwards.....well I tipped her forward and she hit her head on the cement (bad mommy!) She cried less than 5 mins., then an hour and a half later her 3 year old cousin, Kaidrie, as she put it: "I may have pushed her" (it was an accident) and Avery fell hard and hit the EXACT SAME SPOT!!! Again cried less than 5 mins. Julia aka Mimi had me call her pediatrician and we are to watch Avery (who 10 mins. after the 2nd fall was back in the pool swimming)! It's very had to tell how much it hurts since Avery has never been much of a cryer.....she's a tough lil girl :) She is now sleeping and we have to wake her in 2 hours and see how she responds.


I will keep you posted! This is the being a parent part I don't like but who does huh?!

Just a swingin!

This is Avery's new swingset.....Mimi and Pop-Pop gave her money for Christmas and Birthday to get one! Much to Daddy's dismay of a swingset (doesn't want to mow around it) but Mommy said every child needs a swingset!



Like my dirty feet? :0 "Stinky-Stinky" as Ave would say!


As you can see she LOVED to swing!


Did you notice I said "Loved" well the this picture I'm telling her we need to go inside and the below picture is the result! Poor thing, bet she cried for 3 mins straight. I know mean mommy!



All is well when Daddy came home we went back outside. We have a climber on our hands :)
