This is what happens when Avy and I go shopping.... She runs, points, grunts, screams and grabs everything she can get her little hands on. She doesn't care where I am at all. I chase her the entire time and nothing gets done. But secretly, I love it :) I could chase that little girl around all day.
The other night we went to a live Nativity. It was really sweet and very well done. It was cold but fun to get out. The real camel was freaking awesome!!
When we were home for Thankgiving my parents said Avy could have their old little slide. It had been sitting in the outside storage for about 10 years ( or more?) So we brought it back to boise and cleaned it up for her. Well, Avy LOVED it!! We put it in her room and she could not get enough of that little slide. She would climb up there all by herself and get so excited when it was time to come down. She even got to the point where she would start nodding her head and counting to 3 so she could go down and would go down by herself! She seriously loved it so much.
Well, Chris started to notice a smelly funk in Avys room. I thought it was just her powerful poopy diapers lingering. But after a few more days the smell got worse and we thought we should clean the slide again. So we started to take it apart and Avys poor little slide smelled like a dead rotting animal. There was something in there and is stunk SOO bad. So we had to throw it away. Sad day for Avy :( fun while it lasted
(she had to have socks on to go down fast- haha)
She turned 13 months on the 9th and she could not be more fun. She is a little mover. I have to keep my eye on her because she likes to get herself into trouble. She is starting to like coloring. Isn't she good?!
And BIG news- She finally got her first tooth!! The top left- weird because usually the bottoms come first but we will take it!! Its so cute and a sharp little thing.
I think we are all ready for Christmas and we are so so excited to go home for that Holidays!
And who knows, this might be my last post if the end of the world is on the 21st.... Chris bought a gun and I bought some extra noodles just in case....
On a side note- This week has been a really sad one. First, Avy is sick and it is horrible. I hate not being able to help her feel better :(
and second, the Sandy Hook elementary shooting has been on my mind and I just cant get over what a horrific, terrible tragedy it is. So many innocent children taken for no reason. Sometimes I just don't understand why God lets horrible things like that happen. I guess he needed all those little angles. So so sad. We are sending our love and prayers to them. I know I could not go on if that happened to my little Avy.
