My Little Mommy

Recently, Brad and I bought Avery Reese a baby doll that cries when you remove a bottle from her mouth, because she thought it was the funniest thing ever. She would laugh hysterically every time she removed the bottle. Fast forward a couple of weeks and she has decided to love that baby doll as much if not more than us. Her imagination has just exploded! She interacts with her babies (she now has three) like they are so real. The babies do everything she does; if Avery Reese gets lotion on her back after her bath....so do the babies. I just can't help but sit back and watch as her motherly instincts kick right in. (By the way, she is naked in these photos because we were getting ready for a bath).

Sharing her milk with the babies

She decided the highchair was a more appropriate place to feed the baby

Teaching baby how to potty train

Apparently the baby was not listening as she is sitting on the "time-out" stool

Reading a book to baby

Since the baby is not fully potty trained, Avery Reese still has to check her diaper

First Day of Preschool, Take Two

Ahhh, the first day of preschool was so much easier this year. Avery Reese has the same classmates, teachers and teaching assistants again, which we are so grateful to have. Avery Reese has changed so much since this time last year, physically, mentally, and oh, I can't forget that sassy attitude that has emerged.

This morning she walked right in and was so happy to see everyone and especially to be in a new classroom with different and exciting new toys. I wasn't eagerly peeking in on her today to make sure she wasn't crying, instead I peeked at her to see that sweet smiling face (and to get kisses). Brad and I hope this year of preschool is just as much fun as last year!
