therapy

avery and i have been having a great couple of days. i always try to keep extra busy when he is out of town. today we went swimming with friends, shopping at the galleria, and ended our day at the inflatable zone. she was so cute going down the slides and what not there. the difficult part is at night. i just can't seem to get it together. after bath we were going through our nightly routine. diaper, crap, all out upstairs. diaper, check. pajamas on, check. sleepsack, double crap, back down. sleepsack, check. milk, triple crap, are you kidding me? milk, check. books and bed. tonight there was nothing that was going to go wrong. we came home from the inflatable zone and i put her in her highchair. i'm talking to my mom and i see avery throw up. "crap, i'm going to have to call you back." i go and pick avery up, throw up, throw up, throw up. all over the kitchen, all over the highchair, all over me. note to self: DO NOT let child jump around for an hour and then chug milk. not to mention she had a cup of yogurt before we went. my kitchen STUNK! so, scratch dinner, straight to the bath. both of us know wearing only our shorts because everything else is soaked. draw bath put avery in. she stands up and starts peeing. GIVE ME A BREAK! take avery out, drain water, start another bath. grab the towel, turn around and avery is walking in the tub and slips backwards. why now? get back downstairs. how do you keep and feed a 14 month old when the highchair and floor are dirty. *light bulb* the bumbo is in the car. grab avery, grab bumbo and we're ready for dinner. of course she won't eat. up to bed, read books, time to call daddy and tell him goodnight. avery see's his picture on my phone and immediately starts saying dada. she's kissing the phone, hugging the phone, pointing and saying dada. she just couldn't get any sweeter.

and, in case you were worried, avery is just fine. :) and pizza and ice cream made me a little better too.

this was from tonight. the sign language word of the week was "again" at the little gym

this was from when we went with mark and grandma
