Avree Update

So I realized I have only been posting pictures of Avree, and not really talking about her and what all she is up too.
She is 15 months already and is all girl. :) She is SO fun to be around, always in a happy mood, and keeps pretty busy. She has always been ahead of the game when it came to development- crawled at 5 months, took steps at 7, walked at 9, etc) and now we are trying to work on talking. She says "mama, dadda, dog, what's that, drink & ball". She can imitate a monkey, a cow, an elephant and a fan ( and knows where a fan is). Knows where her head, ear, belly, toes, foot, tongue, and teeth are. She knows nose, and eyes but she will only point them out on other people. :) She will stomp her feet, clap her hands, do "so big", "sing", dance, blink her eyes, blow kisses and wave hi or bye-bye, shakes her head yes and no. She will even open a page in her book when you ask her where the cat, horse, duck, banana, train, shoes, or car is. She even knows the picture of her cousin Jack, cousin Kaiya, Uncle TJ and her grandma and grandpa McCulla. (Sorry those are the only pictures we have in our kitchen. If you want her to be able to pick you out, give me a picture and I will hang it up.) I have even taught her some sign language. She does drink/cup, more, all done and thank you. She is a smart little cookie, but let me tell you when she doesn't feel like pointing or doing the imitations, SHE WON'T!! She just walks away or acts like she can't hear you. She is very stubborn but determined!
She loves playing outside, especially in water! She is our little fish. She will put her face in the water, and "blow bubbles", kick, and puts her ear in the water. We have a hard time getting her inside if we are out on the deck playing.
Avree absolutely loves the dogs! She can never leave them alone. She is always giving them her food (she actually likes to share!!), giving them a (hard) pat, cuddling them and of course riding them.
She is a small little peanut but she isn't afraid to do anything. Like figuring out how to climb on the couch or mom and dad's TALL bed or even the high chair! She likes doing stuff by herself and will get a little upset if you try and help her :)

Avree is the biggest blessing to me and Matt and I am so lucky to be able to spend my days with her and teach her new things. We love you Avree Grace!!
