Avery is keeping us on our toes! She is perfecting the "dead weight rag doll" (especially when she does not want to get out of the tub - this proves to be very difficult with a slippery wet baby) and the dramatic sigh. She is definitely a strong-willed child. But these moments are few and far between her usual sweet and very loving self. And I have to say, those toddler moments are extremely hard to keep a straight face and not laugh. She's too stinking funny. Avery's love for animals, the outside and swimming continue to grow with her and I love it. She is constantly on the go and wanting to discover the world around her; my little miss independent. They say when you have a strong-willed child to "hang on for the ride" and it will be one of their best qualities as an adult. Dear Lord help us. I hope this is true. In the mean time, we are hanging on tight!
