Month 5 has been a blast! Avy is laughing and playing and keeping us busy. She has rolled over a few times. She is super drooly and must be teething. She has just discovered our dog, Zoe, and loves to watch her and touch her face. She likes to read books with Asher and play in the exersaucer. She has tried rice cereal three times and is already trying to feed herself with the spoon. Avery is turning into quite the Daddy’s Girl, she alway smiles at JR from across the room and loves to sit and watch hockey with him. Hopefully she will be more into sports than me!

Last Friday was beautiful! My friend Melody and I made a picnic, packed up the kids, and hopped on the train to go to the Dallas Zoo. The weather was perfect and there was hardly anyone there so we felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. Asher’s favorite animals included the crocodiles, bald eagles, and the anteater.

Asher and I had an interesting conversation this week…
Asher: I can’t wait to have kids.
Me: Oh, you want to be a daddy one day?
Asher: Yes, and I’m going to name them Scarf and Boss.
Say what?!

I think Asher picked the cutest pumpkin in the patch!

Avery is over 3 months now. She already has her own little personality. She prefers to be held up over your shoulder or standing, whichever way allows her to see the world better. Much like her brother, she likes to talk. She babbles and coos all day long. She does not like long rides in the car, especially if we have to stop at those pesky stop lights. She loves watching Asher. She is the perfect audience while he sings, dances, plays, and bounces off the walls. She wakes up happy in the morning. We listen on the monitor as she talks in her crib, slowly getting louder and louder until someone comes in to play. She is such a sweetie and we are glad she is a part of our family.
