Avery hasn’t taken a nap for the past three days. He just keeps going all day with a seemingly endless supply of energy. The lack of a break in the middle of the day has made Lindsey a bit frazzled. Hopefully this pattern doesn’t continue.
He’s also been very vocal lately, and is repeating lots of words. Among his favorites:
hi! – with a big smile
aairplay (airplane)
cooow (cool)
carh (car)
bike
mommy
daddy
poo poo
pee pee
bye bye
Tonight we went for a walk along Alaskan Way. We narrowly missed going to the Aquarium, but had a quick dinner at Anthony’s Cafe. We ate outside and Avery pointed out every airplane and boat in sight.

On Friday saw Jack Johnson at the The Gorge. It was Avery’s first concert and our second time seeing Jack Johnson at The Gorge. We were a little worried about how Avery would tolerate the extra late evening, but he did pretty well. Eventually he got tired and fell asleep on the blanket. The concert was okay. Since we arrived late it was difficult to find a decent place to sit. We were also busy distributing snacks and toys to Avery, making it hard to sit back and relax.

Lindsey had a family reunion in Illinois last weekend. We made the trip out, flying in to St Louis and driving into Illinois. It was a fun trip and I enjoyed seeing some of the places that surrounded Lindsey growing up. I also really enjoyed eating at White Castle.
Avery had a continual supply of snacks on airport days.
