Avery's second Christmas is in the books. Along with that were a lot of miles on the road and a whole pile of presents. She may not have liked Santa very much in person, but she was starting to figure out how to unwrap presents. Some of her favorites so far include an Elmo doll from Aunt Jackie, a new travel shape sorter from Aunt Karla and Uncle Carl, some bath toys and a coloring tablet from Mummy and Daddy, and a beautiful rocking pony from Aunt Bethany. She isn't enamored with the pony when it's making noises just yet, but she does like rocking on it. Santa did a pretty good job with Little People toys too.
I'm very proud of her. She's also doing a decent job signing "thank you"! It sounds like she's also saying "Please" and a few other things like "uh-uh" (as in no).
There was so much running and activity that Avery slept in an extra hour 3 out of 5 days through this extra long weekend. My extra time with her was my favorite gift this holiday. I love her bunches.
