Silence doesn't always mean mischief....

After playing in the family room for awhile, Avery crawled to her bedroom to play. She was making noise- babbling, opening and closing cabinets and drawers and playing with her musical toys, then the noise stopped. After a minute or so of no "noise," I went back to check on her. I peeked my head in her room and this is what I saw....

See Avery Play

Avery loves to push Dolly in the stroller. Dolly loves to ride. Ride Dolly ride.


Avery loves to hug and kiss Dolly. (I'm sure) Dolly loves it, too. More Avery more.




Avery puts Dolly in the stroller all by herself. Dolly needs help. Help, Someone help.


The End.

Cruisin' on the boardwalk

It was a beautiful day, so we thought we'd take a little trip to Laguna Beach. Avery loved walking {us} up and down the board walk and really enjoyed the smiles and cheers from the people passing by.



Side note: The "Nemo" sticker on her shirt was from the dentist. Yep, Avery had her first trip to the dentist. She was such a good girl while Dr. Mike brushed her six teeth, but she did not enjoy it one bit!

Some people say gross....

... to licking the swings at the park...

... to crawling on the sidewalk in downtown San Diego...

... to eating sand at the beach...


... I say she's just building immunity.

One bedhead and two smiles


There are two awesome things about this picture.

1.) The Bedhead

2.) Avery's smile.
She had just woken up which means the pacifier was in, she was very mellow and a little groggy - in no mood for a picture. We had to get a pic of this bedhead. As Sean stood behind the camera ready to snap her picture, I popped out her pacifier and directed her attention to the camera. She cracked a short, little smile. We wanted another picture and she did it again. She cracked another smile...for the camera.

Land of Many Lakes

So, Orange County isn't exactly the Land of 1,000 Lakes, but we sure have had fun visiting a few of the lakes nearby. We hit three lakes in three days.

On Tuesday, we had a fun time with the Jennings', Thralls', Karidis', Kolasinski's, and Anderson's at the lagoon in Irvine.

Busy with the boogie board (Meagan, Paige, Jessica & Avers)


On Wednesday, we hit the Rancho Santa Margarita Beach Club with Robyn, Julia, Cori & Luke. Although I couldn't snap a pic with all the little ones together, I was able to capture Avery's favorite activity... crawling in the water. She loved crawling back and forth along the shore.



On Thursday, we spent a relaxing afternoon at Lake Mission Viejo with the Gillespie's.

Drake and Avers


Having a blast in the water with Daddy



Needless to say, we have had a fun "list of things to do" during the last week of summer!
