Avery's 16-month accomplishments include the impressive word "blueberry" and striking the yoga pose "downward dog"after watching Mommy do her yoga. Avery is a busy little girl, loves to be outside and is getting more and more active. She also has all 4 molars... you can catch a good glimpse of them below (yes, she somehow skipped some teeth so notice the huge gaps!)...
Avery recently had a visit from her friend Van. He is 6 months younger than she is, but you can hardly tell. He is walking and talking! They had fun ransacking the kitchen drawers, playing with bubbles outside and goofing around together.
The Bubble-palooza:
(Please ignore the VERY dead plant in the background, haha - I'm such the green thumb.)
Bubble chasing is tough work... time to take a cat nap...
Avery also had a visit from her friend Mac and his new baby brother Finn. Though she has developed a recent obsession with babies and will repeat the word over and over again, she wasn't so sure about holding baby Finn...
We are really starting to realize what the influence music can truly do. Not only does Avery dance when she hears even a single note, she has started singing and humming along. And Avery has really good pitch. We can recognize songs like "Baby Beluga" and "Twinkle, Twinkle." She can't say all of the words yet, but knows the tunes and makes up sounds that go along. It's amazing to hear this gift she has been blessed with!
Jeff also celebrated a pretty big milestone - his 32nd birthday - on October 7th. We threw a "Jeff White Appreciation Day" party and did not document it what-so-ever. Well, I take that back... we got these few beauties late into the evening:
Oh and if you've ever wondered what you look like when you do a face-plant into the sidewalk, we will let Avery show you, since that is precisely how she closed out her 16th month:

A wonderful post! And a reminder that Avery is a true beauty - she make a forehead scrape look lovely!
Love the bubble pictures! Van had such a great time. We need to get those two together more often! We recently had a face plant in the driveway. I cringed every time I looked at his beautiful face all scraped and bruised. Great post Kate!
