She could be a farmer in those clothes... Avery is 13 months old!

I was reminded of the quote in the title of this blog post when we watched part of the movie 'Clueless' last weekend. Gotta love 90's fashion - funny to look back on!

When it comes to Avery, she is ANYTHING but clueless. She can point to her head, ears, teeth, nose, belly, feet and waves her little palms in the air when you ask her where her hands are. She pointed to her head at her doctor appointment and the doctor was shocked. Said she had actually never seen a baby at this age do that - it was more of an 18-month milestone.
She is understanding more and more, and talking up a storm. Today she said "hello!" and waved! She is now definitely saying "kitty cat" too. We are also totally onto sippy cups!
Avery and her kitty cat Stormie looking out at the neighbor's dog, Clark:
Avery is working on cutting tooth #9, and is back to drooling all over herself. Funny, I didn't notice this major drool the last few times. She likes to host tea parties for her furry friends with her singing teapot and tea cups.

Hey Ave, show us your grill:
She's into EVERYTHING - even Tom and Kelly's pantry:
Hosting tea:
She had her friend Cole over, who is three and they had fun together. Cole loved "holding" Avery on the couch and he gave her a cool singing book for her birthday.

Anyway, Avery has been busy practicing her walking (we are up to 5 steps in a row on her own). She is very tentative, and really hates to fall. As far as we can tell, Avery is not so worried about it hurting when she falls, but we think she is a little bit of a perfectionist.

Ready:
Set:
Go ker-plop!

We did a photo shoot in Grandpa Bricker's denim overalls from when he was a baby. Avery thought it was great fun playing outside in them, but was not to fond of me trying to make her wear a cowboy hat. Or sit in the grass.

I guess she won't be a farmer. Which is too bad, because she can seriously ROCK some overalls:

OMG, I am embarrassed to admit that the first thing I thought of when I saw Avery's one-undone overalls was Joey from NKOTB - "Hangin' Tough!" NKOTB For EVAH, Avery!

That you for answering my question of "what does that remind me of?" Couldn't place it, but now the memories are coming back in flying colors. She's gpt the "Right Stuff."
