Avery's 3rd Birthday

Avery had an amazing 3rd birthday! We rented an awesome bounce house and had lots of friends and family come over to celebrate. It was a scorching hot day, we are in Texas in one of the hottest summers on record, but the kids still enjoyed bouncing and playing outside. Luckily we decided about a month ago to purchase and install misters on our back porch. We are using the heck out of them! Avery got so many wonderful gifts and really seemed to enjoy her party.

Can't believe how fast she's growing up.



I took her to her 3 year well check on the 13th. She got one vaccine and was very brave! She is 3 ft 1 in and 28 lbs. She's in the 50th % for height and 25th% for weight. This is quite an accomplishment since she spent her first 2 years of life struggling to stay on the weight scale at the 5th %! The pediatrician recommended we have her evaluated by a speech therapist. She is incredibly smart, has a huge vocabulary, can count to 11, say her ABC's, do tons of 24 piece puzzles...but she's not putting her words together to form coherent sentences. So I'm researching therapists and I'm sure with a little work she will be arguing with me in NO time! She can argue now, just without articulation, lol.



Nothing to worry about though, she is healthy, happy, beautiful, and smart.

The next year for Avery will bring full potty training, full communication, lots of fun staying home with Mom and little brother Jake, and many new happy memories!
