Christmas Highlights

Christmas was a success.  Avery was quite pleased with the transformers (along with other gifts) that Santa delivered on. Her big gift from us was an electric scooter, which she has taken to quite well.  She seemed happiest with a last minute gift request that we met - a Nerf gun.  There were several board games added to the collection, a bit of clothes, a few treats, all the good stuff.

From day 1 off Avery has been missing her friends, so I know she will be ready to head back to school.

Yesterday I caved and took her into the Pediatrician.  She's been coughing longer than I did - and I went down right after Thanksgiving.  Dr. D wasn't concerned, so at least I know we're good to go.

4 Foot!

We finally had a little bit of growth after stalling out at 47".  If you recall I was so hopeful she would get that boost before the end of July cruise, to no avail.  Well at last, we woke up one morning and she looking longer and leaner.  Yup, 48"!  With the max on her car seat having been 49" and the seatbelt hitting properly she is now using her booster instead -- officially one more check mark in the big kid column.

This helps her school clothes fit a little better too.  I anticipate another inch or two in the coming weeks if she keeps pace with her past growth spurts (a few months after her birthday we have always changed sizes).
