this is our dare devil child. she doesn't cry unless she is scared or really hurt herself... she is fearless!

the ultimate scavenger:

the other night Avery climbed up on her sister's stool in the kitchen and grabbed the gladware full of Shea's pumpkin chocolate chip cookies down off the counter. Avery proceeded to eat a couple and carried them with her into the living room where she was discovered due to the cookie crumb clues she left behind her. the next day Avery kept wanting to go back behind the massage chair and I must have pulled her away from that not so safe spot a half a dozen times. Addie needed my full attention in the bathroom for a couple seconds and when we got back to the living room I found this...our silly scavenger hid a pumpkin chocolate chip cookie behind the chair, under the pillows which completely explains why she insisted on going back to that same spot! I guess you could say she is one smart cookie!!!

{ps. although we don't plan on incorporating them into her diet, we can scratch chocolate and peanut butter off her allergy list}

Addie was all done with her apple so Avery jumped {not really jumped but mosey-ed her way over} at the opportunity to crunch on a tasty apple!

miss matched and ready for a good time...

it looks like she ate a candy smurf!

(actually it was those yummy scented markers and apparently she like blueberry}
