We are Potty Trained!

Good-Bye Diapers!! What a remarkable milestone Avery! All your hard work paid off!

We are so proud and happy to give our washing machine a rest. For now we will stick to using

diapers at night, they are pretty full in the morning.. 1 more big step-peeing outside!

Which sounds gross but when there's no toilet in sight or we are outside playing it really helps!

Thanks for that girl!

Everything we do and everything we say, she is listening, watching and learning.

We're Having Fun!

It's been a very fun-filled 2 weeks since our last update!

We had a nice visit from Uncle Ryan and oh my god

They look so similar! But she's my baby I swear!

Auntie Tara had her birthday Cole and Avery had

alot of fun playing on the slip and slide and goofin'

around I love that Avery has a cousin so close in age

to grow up with. They really are best buds.

The other night I had made a relly wicked Vegetarian

Indian Soup, Avery liked it but she didn't "love" it until

she was eating it on the counter out of the pot! The funny

thing is, she kept asking me to take pictures of her eating it!

She was saying "cheese"..my little movie star!

The filberg petting zoo is open! That was pretty cool, Avery was

Amazed and unsure of all the animals there. She did manage to

say "boo" to the chickens and brush the baby cow. I just love

watching her take everything in, she's a little sponge!

*Potty Training Update- We bought undies!!! She has been

wearing then for about 4 days now! We do use diapers as well,

I'm unsure what to do when we aren't near a toilet, she can't

hold it! The only time she has accidents is when we don't hear

yelling POTTY! I am proud I have only changed 1 poopy

diaper in the last week! My beef....they don't make undies

small enough! But they are still cute. For my sentimental

thoughts this week, Avery and Jason have a very strong bond

lately, she is easily comforted by him now and she loves to snuggle

him to sleep. I think him being off work so much lately has

really strengthened that! Till next week.....

Summer is finally here!

Sunny Sunny Days! We are having such a great time in this weather. We have been keeping the back door open and Avery comes and goes as she pleases, which means she is outside most of the time. We set up her pool, that's a blast!

She is a water baby all the way. She also had her first swim in the lake of the season. We went to stay with the Harmison's at their cabin on Comox Lake it was a really nice time. Daddy even caught trout for us! Avery loved having a barebum all day and she has mastered peeing in the outdoors! Too cute!

Rhubarb is in plenty thanks to Grandma and grandpa Dish, our neighbours we sure ate alot of pie's! And of course like all food Avery loves it! I tell you this little girl is a talker...she is just saying everything and anything, repeating it all. Her newest phrase that melts our hearts.."Love You!" It's just too sweet! And on the potty traing front...she is a champ, she is starting to tell us when she has to pee pee and its really a great breakthrough, we are so proud!

It's bittersweet having babies, on one hand you want them to grow and learn on the other, you want to freeze time and cherish every single moment. They just change and learn so fast. We sure do love this life!
