Cruising Along

Once again, Avery is on the move. This time...cruising! She can now pull herself up on our furniture and is now trying to figure out cruising. Of course she needs a little motivation to get moving so I usually use my cell phone or the TV remote to get her going.



Avery just got over her first cold which was not fun. She had a runny nose which interfered with her being able to eat. I was lucky if I got 20 ounces in her a day. She wouldn't take naps so she was fussy and exhausted during the day and we had to switch between her swing and her carseat during the night just so she could get some decent sleep. Which meant we were both sleeping in the living room. I pumped her full of vitamins, invested in an electric nasal aspirator and now she's back to her old self...with a definite increased appetite.

I feel bad because I was the one that brought it home, making Avery sick. Amazingly enough Jesse dodged the bullet and never did get it. He says he hopes her and I never get sick again. Apparently I was a little on the grouchy side :o{ There is an upside to Avery getting sick, she is so cuddly now and will lay her head on my shoulder and fall asleep. Something she would NEVER do before. I love it!

Now that she's feeling better, she's reverted back to her old habits...getting into EVERYTHING! She has a basket of 5000 toys yet she wants to play with the stuff she isn't suppose to have; the TV remote, anyone's cell phone, shoes, cords, the PS3 controllers, the TV antenna, plug in air fresheners and our glass end tables. She loves crawling on our cheap, wobbly, glass end tables so we knew we had to get rid of them. We finally found these ones and surprisingly enough she has no interest in wanting to crawl on them. Plus, we were able to sell our old ones on craigslist for the same amount we paid for them! Can't beat that!
