We finally have a walking boy!! He started walking a few weeks ago & now he is a speed demon. He is also completely fearless. Needless to say, we are keeping a close eye on this one. He's getting in 8 teeth all at the same time (4 canines & 4 1st molars). He's a little fussy with these guys. His vocabulary is still increasing by leaps and bounds. A few new words: Avery, high chair, monkey, love, bark, flower. He loves blowing kisses and giving hugs especially at bedtime. He gets upset if he doesn't say 'Night' to everyone in the house. It's too cute. Oh, I love this stage!
Avery started 3 year old preschool at our church. She was so excited for her first day. It's a very different atmosphere from the small 2 y.o. program back home. Instead of 5 other kids in her class, there are 21. She has 4 teachers and they break up into small groups for activities. I was a little worried about the transition, but our social butterfly is loving it. Avery has gotten so good at her balance bike. She is going to be on a big girl bike really soon. She still has a few wipe outs when she's distracted, but we're really proud of her.
A couple of weekends ago, Shaunna came into town for a local food festival. We had a wonderful time trying all kinds of yummy foods. Our favorites were fish tacos and of course Ben & Jerry's. There was live music and even a bounce castle & petting zoo for the kids. We slso got to meet some of Shaunna's friends. They were really sweet. We just wish they lived in the same town!
This weekend, we participated in a breast cancer walk in support of Amy. We didn't know if we would see her, but she and Carlos came to cheer us on. The kids did great in the stroller and Avery raced a little towards the end. It was a great morning and Amy's Army raised over $2000!
After the race, we visited Grandma for her 90th birthday. She looked great and got a kick out of watching the kids run around. That night we celebrated Tim's birthday at the Sinclair house. It was great being with everyone and as a special present our football team kicked some Georgia bootie. Go Gamecocks!
