Last week Miss Avery turned 14 months old on the 28th.
She has changed so much since her birthday.
Avery is no longer a little baby, she's a feisty, adventurous toddler.
Avery uses sign language to say: more, please, milk, eat, and all done.
And Avery can say:
mama, dada, hi, nana (banana), chee (Cheese), deedee (baby or blankie), up and da (dog).
Avery is a lot more adventurous than her big sister.
Just yesterday she figured out how to climb up on one of our dinning room chairs.
She can now stand up in shopping carts,
it doesn't seem to matter how tight I tighten the harness, she still always manages to get free.
Avery is still the biggest Momma's girl you have ever seen.
If someone is moving towards her or acting like they are going to pick her up she screams
and runs to me or wraps her arms around me if I'm holding her.
Avery loves music and dancing.
If you say, "Avery dance." She starts shaking her hips.
She dances in Sacrament meeting at church to the hymns.
She also waves her arms and pretends to conduct the music at church.
Avery's favorite things are babies, animals and me.
.
She's such a fantastic independent player, just like Lexi.
.
Avery will eat anything she can get her hands on.
Just this morning I found her sitting on the floor chewing on a day old corn dog she found.
.
Avery gets really excited when Sean comes home.
She runs to the door and puts her arms up in the air for him to pick her up.
.
Avery goes to bed earlier and wakes up earlier than Lexi.
In the mornings, when Avery is ready for Lexi to wake up and go play in their room she'll knock on their bedroom door. And the second I open the door when Lexi is awake, Avery runs in saying, "Hi."
.
Avery is obsessed with phones. Whenever she gets her hands on one she runs aways with it.
And whenever Avery sees us talking on the phone she wants to talk too. She just says hi over and over and over. It's adorable.
.
Whenever Avery sees dogs she says "da" and starts panting like crazy.
.
Avery is so friendly. Whenever we go to the store or on walks she waves and says hi to everyone.
.
I am taching Avery her body parts. Right now we are working on: feet, belly, nose and hair.
She does a pretty good job recognizing them.
.
When I get out my camera, Avery will often stand up against the wall, look at the camera and say "chee." I hope that never changes.
.
Avery is one tough little girl. Sadly she is used to being pushed over and knocked down.
.

On a side note.
The day Avery turned 14 months old, June 28th, the girls got a new cousin.
Lyla.
She's the 7th Christensen grand kid and the fifth girl in a row.
Isn't she's perfect?!!!
Lexi was so excited to have a princess themed party this year.
Here's a picture of most of the kids that came to her party. Aren't they so cute?!
And the princess with her cupcake.
I just had to share this picture of Avery and Zac. 
A picture of the birthday girl with her daddy.
Even though she's a handful sometimes, I adore my daughter!
