Avery's Birthday

We celebrated Avery's birthday yesterday. My parents were in town driving through on their way home to Idaho after spending the winter in Saint George. Kevin and family came as well as Doug, Teresa and kids. We had lunch. Avery's first picture is of her and all her olives. She loves olives so we had taco salad. I made red velvet cupcakes as well. Everything was going well until the cupcake was on her eating tray and she stuck her finger in the candle! It was really sad. Poor girl was so excited and then so sad, so quick. Avery is wonderful little girl. She is so fun to have in our home. She is getting more animated and seems like she is learning new words every day. She loves her older brother and sister. Lauren affectionately calls her Sammy. She responds but when you ask can still say her name is Avery. She is a Daddy's girl and can get whatever she wants from her Daddy. Even coming in our bed at night. :> She LOVES dairy products. Milk, cheese, yogurt and cottage cheese are her favorites. This is wonderful but makes it difficult for her to have bowel movements. She has had this challenge since she was a little baby. We are working with the doctor on it. She LOVES the Wiggles and dances and sings along with all the videos she watches. She has a blanket she loves, a monkey, a piggy and of course, her binky. When she goes to Aunt Lindsay's she immediately goes to the pantry and asks for a cookie. They always have golden Oreos on hand for her. She really gets mostly what she wants from everyone. She is just so dang cute!
