Dance Girls & Avery at 9 Months

This poor blog has not been getting much attention lately...I guess that's what happens when you have three kids, life is crazy, you never sleep anymore, oh and you live out in the country where there is hardly an internet connection. At least I've managed to get a few pictures up today, so that's a good thing. :)

Lunch date with Jayda at school.  We try to eat lunch with her on Fridays. :)

Three little munchkins in Oma's bed!

Love these silly sisters so much!

 

A few weeks ago we went to Brenham to see our niece and nephew, Katie and Blake, get baptized.  We were so happy to be there with them for this.

Lake trip for Labor Day!  The girls had a blast with their cousin Caitlyn!

The big girls started dance for the first time this month!  They are both SO excited about it, and they're doing so good already.  Jayda is taking tap and jazz and Sydney does ballet and tap.  They are supposed to be performing at the Fair on the Square next month so that should be super cute. 

Sydney helped me make cupcakes for Nana's classroom last week.  She had to lick the cake beaters and try one after we finished.  She is so silly!  Don't you love the dance outfit she's had on for 2 weeks now?  Haha.

Miss Avery Mae loves Daisy (dog-dog).  Oh my gosh, she gets so excited when she sees her and starts kicking and squealing.  The other day she was having so much fun playing with her. S
he thought it was the best thing ever.

Visiting Jayda again for lunch. We all look forward to this!

Sydney helped me cut up a watermelon then had to give the rinds to Emma.  Sweet girl stood there and watched her eat all of them so that she could pet her afterwards.

We went out to lunch at El Chico after church one Sunday and
there was a lady there making balloons.  The girls were so excited!

Jayda got a ballon crown too. :)

My sweet little ballerina.  She LOVES to wear her dance outfits all the time.

Silly Avery getting into the water bottles at the big girls dance studio.

Jayda and Sydney got into my old dance stuff and had so much fun dressing up.

Avery was following Jayda everywhere and pulling on
her shorts so she could get a bite of ice cream.

I attempted taking Avery's 9 month picture but she was not exactly cooperating. 
She immediately started pulling her 9 month sticker off and wanted to eat it. 

"Haha Mommy, I got it!"  She is such a ham. 

I gave her my camera just so she would leave the sticker on for a moment.

And she got it off again!

I put this little collage together of her.  Silly but true.

Avery is so much fun right now.  She loves to play with her toys, her sisters and Daisy.  She is always into something and crawls all over the house.  She follows us wherever we go.  She likes to pull open cabinets and drawers and pull stuff out.  Avery is still laid back and easy going.  She has 2 teeth now and has been chewing on everything.  She constantly has something in her mouth and is drooling.  I'm guessing she is about to get some more in too.  She eats her baby food very well and really likes the little baby yogurt melts.  Once she gets some more teeth I'll start giving her some more table food.  I'm taking her into the dr. next week for her 9 month check up and getting her 9 month pictures done so I'll have to update this post after that with her stats.  She is such a good baby and still sleeps well for the most part.  She normally takes 2 naps, 1 in the morning and 1 in the afternoon, then goes to sleep at night around 7:30 or 8:00 p.m.  Her teeth have been bothering her lately so she hasn't been sleeping that great but hopefully that will get better.  Avery is wearing a size 3 diaper and 9 month old clothes.  She loves being outside.  If she gets upset all we have to do is take her outside and she will be fine.  She really likes taking rides on the gator too.  It's so cute because she will stand up in your lap and hold onto to the bar in front of her and just look all around.  She is so observant and doesn't miss anything.  She loves the dogs and they will always make her happy as well. Oh, and she says several words now too-"ma-ma", "ba-ba"(bottle), da-da", "na-na", "doh-doh" (dog-dog). We are so thankful for this sweet babe! 

Little lady loves to play with big sisters pretend lipsticks.  She always has one of these in her hands.

Avery got into the Tupperware cabinet and started pulling everything out. So much fun for a baby!

And sister helped her pull everything out just for good measure. ;)
