Avery's Swimming Pool

The week of June 1 - June 6 Avery and I stayed at my parents because Amanda and Blake where there for the week before going back to Spokane for 5 years.
June 1 Chris and my dad got up at 4AM to go fishing. Have fun boys!!! Avery and I chose to sleep in until 8 (that is sleeping in in mommy world). We went swimming most of the day. Avery loves the water she is now starting to blow bubbles in the water. she will kick sometimes when we are carrying her and she will lay on her back briefly.
We had dinner one last time with our entire family:Mom, Dad, Amanda, Blake, Me, Chris, Avery, Mallory, Paul and Addison. It was nice to be together as a family again. Chris had to go back home to work.
The rest of the week was pretty much the same hanging out around the house and in the pool. Avery got really good in the pool. She completley puts her head under water, blows bubbles, can pick herself up when she falls underwater (they have a very shallow area in the pool which is great for Avery). She loved to blow bubbles with Aunt Meana. She would say "Aunt Meana blow bubbles" They would count to 3 and both blow bubbles. Then when she would leave Avery would yell "come back, come back meana". She also like for us to jump off the rock. "mommy turn jump off rock" she would say. We would stand on the rock and say count to 3. She would say 1, 2, 4. No matter how hard we tried to get her to say 3 she would say 4. I think now she thinks it's funny.
Avery loves being with Addison. She gets very concerned when she cries. She wants to check on her when she's asleep. She is already bossing her around. "I want Addie in toy" "I want Addie swim". It will be fun in a year when Addie is following behind Avery doing whatever Avery says. She will LOVE that.
Avery slept with me most the week just because it was easier. I am kind of paying for it, but not too bad. When it is time to go to sleep she says "I want Mommy sleep with Avery". That week she also decided to regress back to using baby spoons. Don't know she thinks it's fun. Addison doesn't use them so it's not because she sees Addie doing it. That is the only spoon she would eat with all week.
Thursday night we played games and celebrated my birthday. Friday we had a concert performed by Avery. She played (banged on the piano) singing at the top of her lungs "Mee mo mo" I don't know it most be a song she has learned somewhere because she stays in the same rhythym. Mom tried to take pictures and Avery screamed "NO"and put her hand up.
Then Amanda had to leave. I already miss her. It is going to be different not having her around. We are definetly going to have to go visit.
