Continually Amazed!

The Stevens' house is in full blown toddler mode. Avery's vocabulary has exploded. She is leanring new words everyday. She is getting interested in games and loves to play Simon Says. Over the past few days she has been letting me know right after she's gone potty and removes her diaper. I am going to have to jump on the potty train a lot sooner than I wanted.
Avery is still into Sesame Street and Elmo. In fact she copies everything they do, so all day you'll hear her say "ten toes, casa (or caca in Avery speak), la la la la, Zoe, Elmo, cookie - c c - cookie yum yum yum, and laughing Ah! Ah! Ah! like the count. I'm telling you - she is a riot!
The climbing has gotten much better and I am so relieved. We are getting outside to play more since the weather has been nice, so Avery is in heaven. She gets her purse and goes to the door saying "Bye Momma!"
Yesterday was the first morning where Avery called for me in the morning without tears. Normally it is sobbing, "Mommmaaaa", but yesterday she was chipper and I heard "Momma, Momma" in the monitor. It was a beautiful sound.
