It's been a busy week of...

practicing somersaults.


feeding babies.


playing at the park.


visiting the dentist.


and... drumroll, please... sittin' on the pot.


Yes, Avery asked to sit on the toilet. Her face lit up with a huge smile. After a few minutes, mommy tried to lift her off. Well, she made it very clear that she wasn't ready to get down. That's when I got the camera.

So there you have it- Avery's week at a glance.

a bright future.

Mimi, Papa, Mommy and Avery went to our favorite Mongolian BBQ restaurant for dinner tonight (Daddy was working). Avery loved her dinner AND the fortune cookie. It was her first fortune cookie.





I'm loving the 19 month old stage! She wore these most of the day- on our walk, in the car, around the house, into the bank....

{not} just another day in the park.

Avery and Daddy got to spend the day with some very special people.

Uncle Chris


and Cousin Conor




and Grandpa




and Cousin Kaeleen




and Sara, Grandma, Auntie Jill, Cousin Tierney


It was a perfect way to spend the day!
