These Kids are Crazy!

Trouble Maker #1 - Yeah, he looks innocent...

Trouble Maker #2 - Don't let her fool you!

Oh Jazzy, you're so funny = )

Picture time...not so funny...

Playdate #2

Jazzy, My Jazzy

Avery had an amazing time in California with her partner in crime - Jasper!  They had three fabulous playdates during the week...and of course they were well documented.  Mama Jen had a chance to upload a ton of pictures (and I can't compete with her comments) so I have included the link to her blog posts = )  I had to include a few pics of my own too!

The little lovebugs!

My Girlfriends Back And We're Gonna Get In Trouble

Me, Mommy & Mutti

A trip to Westlake Village calls for a fabulous Ladies Photo Shoot!  With the help of Aly & Missy we were able to capture some great 3 Generation pics = )

California Bound

Avery and I are off to Westlake Village, CA on Sunday for a fabulous week of work and play!  My Mom is joining us to play the role of babysitter all week while I work across the street at Dole.  We'll be roughing it at the Four Seasons - I try to treat my babysitters well = )  Avery is very very excited to get in play time with all of her favorite Westlake Villagers - including several playdates with her boyfriend Jasper!

One happy little girl!  Avery is showing off her second wine inspired onesie from Auntie Aly-

The View From Down Here

First you see just the fingers and the top of the head...

And then up she goes!

And now you catch little eyes looking at you from the top of the pack n play!

Finally the Pack n Play is fun again b/c we get to practice standing up!

Bounce N Boogie

Avery looking super cute in stripes!  Thanks for the outfit Jasper!

We are trying out all of the baby classes in town to determine which will be best for Avery.  Today we went to Bounce N Boogie and had a fabulous time.  We have at least one more place to check out before we decide where Avery will be spending her play time...

I promise she has had fun at the last two classes even though we can never capture a smile on her face!  There is so much going on that we can hardly get her to look at the camera = ) 

GYMBOREE Class

Avery checking out Gymboree class - she's never seen so many kids in one place!

What is this purple tunnel you have me in?

Here I come!

Avery climbing the big kid ramp!

Climbing the bridge with some assistance...

Baby collission on the bridge

Bubble time - Avery was not impressed, haha

But Ethan and Jessica were!

Pictures From The Week

I failed to update the blog much this week so here's a little recap of what we're up to!

Avery is pulling up on everything so that she can stand.  We're still a little wobbly but that doesn't stop this little girl!

She also tried to stand up using the door so she could get out to Remi's food and water bowl...

Flashing some teeth!

Thought I should include this pic so you can see how Avery and I spend most of the day...crawling on the ground together.

Did I mention Avery's favorite word is MOM!!!  This makes me so so happy!

A little cuddle with 'MOM' (sorry, did I mention she can now say MOM)...

Ok, she can say Dada too but since I write the blog I think MOM gets to be written in all caps = )

My New Favorite Toy

Car Seat Carrier = Delicious x Tons of Fun

Listen Mom - if you don't take me somewhere fun I'm just going to keep chewing on this thing!

Hide & Seek

Where'd Daddy go?!

This game is silly Daddy - I can see you!

But how do I get to you?

(Please note, the next picture I would have captured had I kept the camera out was Avery accidentally punching Travis in the eye while playing with the curtain)
