23 Month Update

Here are some fun, cute and new things in Month 23:

• Avery loves Doc McStuffins and is always giving us "check ups" as well as all of her toys and stuffed animals and baby dolls. And when she's done she exclaims "You all better!"
• Sometimes Avery has to "go to her office". She marches up to my office and climbs into the chair and tells me to leave because she's "working". Then she'll tell us she's all done and we are allowed to come in. 
• Avery is very empathetic - she always asks if you are OK. And will rub your back and say "Don't be sad" and then "Are you all happy now?". And she'll say "what's wrong" or "what happened" if anyone seems sad.
• Avery has her own "camera" - It's a beeper from her Dr. Kit. She loves to carry it around, take pictures and tell you to say "cheese". She even looks at it when she's done to see if the picture turned out OK.
•  She is not a fan of the hot car in the summer. Whenever we get in, she says "Mama, make it colder". I can relate - I hate that feeling of climbing into a hot, sticky car in the summer!!
• Avery loves to say "So Much" - Like "I love you daddy, SO MUCH" or "I missed you SO MUCH". Makes me melt!
• She loves Mac N Cheese - Loves to help make it, eat it, and pretend make it with her kitchen set and serve it to us. And we have to wear bibs when we eat it because it's "messy". 
• Avery likes to ask "What are you doing?". and "Why?" - over and over again!
• She is also into knowing people's names. She'll tell you that mommy's name is Rachael, Daddy's name is Hung, and G's name is Nancy. She's says Hung SO cutely!! 
• Avery loves to say "OK" and "Here we go" and "You ready?" and "Alright". She is totally using terms that Hung and I say all the time.She also says "THAT'S IT!" when she is mad.
• She is just a chatterbox - using phrases we use and communicating amazingly. I really wish I could catch all the cute and funny things she says. Hung and I find ourselves laughing everyday at what she talks about and thinks of.

Our "photo shoot" went from Avery eating some applesauce, to taking us all on "bike rides" and ended with her walking around in my shoes. She said she was a "goof-bot" - which was a Goofy Robot with big feet that she saw on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse. Oh, and she pulled her pony tail out :)
