22 Month Update

Here are some fun, cute and new things in Month 22:

When we want to get Avery's attention we say "Look at my face" so now Avery will take our face in her hands and say "Look at Avery's face" when she wants to tell us something
She loves me to sing "My Favorite Things" when we rock before bed. She knows most of the words and helps sing along. Makes me melt! She also loves You are my Sunshine, 1,2 Buckle my Shoe (and at the end says "A BIG FAT HEN"), Doe a Dear, and ABC's - she is getting pretty good at knowing the words and singing along. And she can now sing "Hail to the Victors"
Avery has started putting "Ms" before everyone's name. Since she calls her teachers at school Ms. Lauren and Ms. Becky - we know hear "Ms Mama" "Ms Dada" "Ms Uncle Du" "Ms G" etc. We keep trying to tell her she doesn't need to do that but it just seems to come naturally at the moment
Avery is VERY polite - Lots of Thank You, Please and Sorry. Her teachers also tell us how sweet and polite she is. One day, her teacher Ms. Becky hurt her ankle while putting the cots out for nap and Avery heard her say "Ow" so she ran to her other teacher Ms Lauren and said "Oh No! Ms. Becky hurt by cots".
She also likes to "Clean Up" - Which I think they do a lot at school. Sometimes she actually cleans up but usually she just likes to talk about it.
When you ask Avery a question and she doesn't know the answer she says "I don't know that". You can see her thinking and trying to answer and when she isn't sure we get an I just don't know!
She loves to say "Look Mama" and "Look Daddy" when she wants us to watch something. And "Look at Me" when she's doing something cool or funny.
Avery likes looking for trucks when we drive and the minute we pass one, she says "more trucks!"
She really likes school but most mornings she tells us that she wants to "play with mama and daddy and not go to school".
If you tickle her belly and she doesn't want you to she says "No, get out Avery's belly"
Avery loves Sofia the First right now - and every morning she wants to be a Princess. She always twirls after we get her dress to see if it's Princess Appropriate.
If she can't find something she calls out "Where Are Youuu?". Like if she can't find her book she'll say "Book, where are you?" and run around looking.
Avery is not a fan of driving in the rain - She'll say "Daddy, make the rain stop!"
Her favorite book right now is the Wave Book - She loves to watch the little girl play in waves, run away from the waves and find seashells. She talks about finding seashells on our vacation coming up and going to the beach.
Avery LOVES her friend Micah school - she talks about him a lot. Apparently all the girls love Micah.
She is talking in pretty long, grammatically correct sentences. I wish I could capture all of them!!
Avery is very tall for her age - wearing 3T and almost a size 8 shoes. She seems to get bigger and more chatty every day! And her hair gets wilder and thicker and longer.
