1) whoa! I say whoa!
(this also works for ooops and sorry)
2) where is Titi (Grossmueti) going? She's going to vote honey. She go boating, and she catch fish for her dinner? No honey, not boating, VOTING.

And she's three!
(of course this post is about 1.5 months late now...but as usual, better late than never!)
Our baby girl #1 turned three years old a few weeks ago...it is starting to get inconceivable how fast it is all going by. Anyhoo, the days leading up to Avery's 3rd birthday and even the actual day itself were not great because, you guessed it, everyone was sick! With ear infections this time. However, we managed to pull off the birthday party anyway, thank goodness! It was a super-fun party at Gymboree which Avery loved, and I think most of the other kids did too. She especially loved the Princess Aurora/Sleeping Beauty cake that Dana made for her. (Thank you again to Dana for a great cake and delicious cupcakes - they were a huge hit with the birthday girl and you really did me a huge favour by taking care of that tiny little task... :) And thank you to everyone who attended, helped and gave Avery presents. Boy, does she now understand the concept of presents!
So what is Avery like at three years old? Growing up all the time, that's for sure. She is about 30 lbs, 39 inches and generally full of energy and imagination. She went through a big princess, dress-up, pretty shoes phase this year, but seems to be a little less interested in her princess dresses at the moment. She also only wanted to wear dresses for about 9 months, especially her summer sundresses that are oh-so-appropriate for the dead of winter. Thankfully she now willingly puts on pants and socks to keep warm.
She is full of interesting observations and funny statements - though of course I can't come up with any good examples now. But we have really noticed that her ability to communicate has improved immensely, which is a great thing since this time last year we were actually pretty concerned that her speaking ability and vocabulary acquisition wasn't coming along as quickly as it should have been. That being said, I love it when she says "farkle" instead of "sparkle". :)
