Well lots of pictures to share and things to write about. The tour of the grandparents is officially over. :( We enjoyed all of the help and company. Avery misses all of you guys.
Scientist in the making? From time to time Avery comes up with little experiments she want to perform. This week she tried to make herself float away by holding on to all the balloons she could find. She was a bit sad to see her 'experiment' didnt work.
Jelly Bean Incentives: To help encourage good behavior from Avery, we started a jelly bean jar. When she does something, like picking up toys without being asked, we give her a scoop of jelly beans. When she reaches the line she gets to choose her reward. She has chosen to go the museum and this week to the roller skating rink. Other choices that she can choose from are a date to starbucks with daddy...nails with mommy...and even a trip bowling. This works really well to get her to do what we want. She loves it!
Gaining weight: Andrew went to the dr last week and he gained 7 ounces in 7 days. That is great news. He is a good eater...gets up every 3 hours or so...even at night. :) Can you believe he will be one month old on Wednesday?! He will go back to the dr in another week or so for shots.
Trick or Treat: We had a really great time last night Trick or Treating. Avery was very excited about going door to door for candy. She was very particular with what she chose from everyone's buckets of candy. Red suckers were really high on her list. Andrew did manage to get a pack of skittles from a cute little boy. Avery and Andrew both wore pumpkin costumes. Because we live in an apt, we went to the 'cape cod' neighborhood and it really was something straight out of a hallmark commercial. It really made me want to move there...such a perfect place.
Here are a couple of pics from our trip to a couple pumpkin patches too.
