Avery

Soon-to-be 6! She is full of expression, and her new glasses capture that. She's social. She loves to play pretend anything…store, house, dance party, concert, doctor, etc. She also talks to herself, and doesn’t mind playing alone! She is very easy to take along shopping for groceries and other errands that aren’t necessarily fun, because isn’t all about treats or toys, and she truly seems to enjoy just going along. She appreciates chapstick, nail polish, perfume, lotion, jewelry, hair ties, etc…typical girl “pretties.” This girl is very much into clothes and shoes – she definitely had an opinion on her new school clothes this year (and she’s only in Kindergarten!) and the shoes she puts w/ the outfit are just as important. She likes to look in the mirror (this is when she does most of the talking to herself :), dance, watch TV shows w/ teenagers in them, ride her bike, play babies, sing, and help her mom in the kitchen. She is getting to be a good little singer, and she remembers lyrics well after hearing a song only once or twice. She loves any and all attention she gets from bigger kids, and she likes to perform for an audience. She has asked her Dad and I, more than once while watching TV, “how do I get on the TV?” She is OK w/ pets – not always particularly nice to them, though, especially the cat.
Her favorite colors are pink and purple. She has a very good memory, but a fairly short attention span. She is getting good at coloring, but she still isn’t too great of an eater…unless it is something she loves like Ramen noodles, ice cream, fried bread, cheese curds, bacon, corn on the cob, or yogurt! She is big into relationships right now, and loves anything to do w/ boyfriends, girlfriends, and weddings. And…Justin Bieber is her crush :)
We are equally blessed to have this ‘lil peanut as our daughter.
