• Will finally eat ground meat (turkey...still not into beef yet)

• Loves to help with her babysister
• Now loves to do everything for babydolls just like mommy does for Cameron
• Is starting the terrible twos! Yikes.  Is in this terrible kicking and squeeling phase.  AND she starts hitting herself in the head kind of hard when we tell her no.  
• Is about to start being put in "timeout" proooobably 15 times a day.  Just an estimate.  We shall see...
• Great with fork & spoon finally :)
• Has a big girl potty bc she is super interested in the whole going potty thing.  Not really potty training yet though.
• HATES pooping.  Does a poopy dance and tries to hold it in.  Hilarious/sad.

Avery is the bomb.  We adore her.  She's fun, hilarious, friendly, and just makes our life incredibly JOYFUL!  SOO thankful that God has given us such an awesome blessing to brighten our every day!
