The Great Outdoors...

So last week we went outside to swing and chase the ducks (this is a daily activity at our house), but alas there weren't any ducks. However we did find this little guy.
Avery was absolutely fascinated. She saw it and started to follow it around. That turtle was pretty fast and she kept a safe 2 feet behind it for about 30 minutes. Then she started edging closer and closer. The turtle would try and turn around and run the other way but she kept on following.

She would get closer.
She took the hat off when she decided it was time to finally see what this guy really was all about. This is a shot of a fake out touch. She had to work up the courage to touch it. She had several false starts.

Finally! Contact!

Now that that was done, she grabbed her hat, surveyed the rough terrain...

And went in search of further adventures.


She's Getting So Big!


We've started. She's not getting it completely yet, but she understands the language of candy.

What's Wrong With This Picture?





Maybe they smelled?....At least she's helping right?
