Jonathan & Lindsey's Family Blog

Avery continues to explore the floor. Tonight he made his way into the pantry and had a look around. I saw him make a mental note of Commodus’ water bowl — I’m sure he’ll be back for further investigation when we’re not looking. He also loves to chase after the animal train toy that Lindsey got him. The train moves forward about five feet while singing a song (Lindsey and I both have it memorized). Once the train stops moving Avery gets a big grin on his face and goes chasing after it. It won’t be long now before Avery is moving across the floor at warp speed.

On Sunday Avery’s playgroup had a get-together at a pumpkin patch. The babies all arrived decked out in their Halloween costumes. It was an unusually warm October day, so the costumes didn’t last long. We managed to get in a few pictures before Avery’s monkey costume got too hot.

We’ve been busy chasing after Avery and haven’t had time to update the blog recently. He’s not quite crawling, but he scoots across the floor pretty quickly, army-man style. It’s been good fun and we’ve both enjoyed watching him explore his new world.

Avery celebrated his half birthday a week ago. At six months old he’s got four teeth (two top, two bottom), slithers across the floor, and can sit on his own (mostly). He’s expanded his diet to encompass apples and oatmeal, which he really enjoys. Carrots, not so much.
He had another visit to the doctor last week and the sneaky nurse got him again (three shots). He cried a little bit but quickly forgave her and even smiled.
Avery loves the bath.
