Bobo

Since I didn’t really do a 10 month post for Averly, I’ll go ahead & list some of the new things she has been doing lately. Last week Averly said her first word other than her babbling dadadada. It was Bobo. One of my parents’ dog’s names. Riley was talking about Bobo & said his name really loud & Averly chimed in right after him with “Bobo!” It was so cute & hilarious all at the same time. Then on Sunday, she started saying Gin Gin (their other dog). We are dogsitting while my parents are out of town & the kids loving having them inside. They were all playing together & she was petting the dogs & said “Shi shi”. The dog’s name is Ginnie, but we call her Gin Gin & she was trying to say it too!

My big girl has started the process of dropping her mid-morning nap. She used to go down around 11, but now, even when she is tired enough to take one, she waits until 1:30 or 2 when I get Riley down for his nap. They both usually sleep anywhere from 2-3 hours. That is the time of day when I catch up on laundry, unload the dishwasher & do any other cleaning that I need to for the day.

She now has 8 teeth that have all broken through. I am so glad to have those in because getting 4 teeth in at once made for several sleepless nights. So she is sleeping great again now that she isn’t in pain from her teeth. She goes to bed between 8:30 & 9 & wakes up anywhere from 7:30-8:30. I am so happy to have my great sleeper back & pray it lasts!



She growls & it is too funny to hear this massive growl come out of such a little girl! She knows she is being funny too & keeps putting on a show when we laugh at her.

For a couple months now, really since she started walking, she has been climbing stairs. It stresses me out to no end trying to keep her off the stairs. She is so quick & will be up them in .5 seconds!

She wants to talk on the phone so bad already! She will hold a toy phone up to her ear & babble away while she walks around in circles. Apparently she’s got lots of serious business to handle!

Miss Piggy loves to eat & will try anything. Even after she has eaten all of her food, she will walk up to me with her mouth open like a little birdie looking for more food.

I have started planning her 1st Birthday party! That feels so weird to type. I can’t believe it’s so close! We are going to do a “Shabby Chic Bo Peep” theme & I am so excited about it!
