At the Park

After having a rainy/stormy week, yesterday's weather was about perfect. We decided to take a family trip to the park and see how Avery does playing on the "big kid" playground equipment. Avery was more interested in interacting with the parents and children than the slides and swings. He did seem to make a new friend, as you can see in the picture.

A few weeks ago we noticed a bottom left molar had cut through in Avery's mouth. Yesterday, we discovered the corresponding top left molar is now through too. That might explain why Avery has been napping much better and is not as clingy to his mommy. Keep those teeth coming kiddo!

Avery's latest interest is turning the lights on and off and dropping random objects in the kitchen sink. It must be getting more exciting for him now that he is taller and has access to many more interesting things. "Mr. Independent" wants to do everything for himself now. He has been able to climb up steps by himself for a week now. However, he still has trouble getting the coordination to climb down them. He still looks to his mommy for help with that.
