back to preschool...

Well, it's back to preschool for me. This year, I am in the 3 year old class with Mrs. Betty and Mrs. Kim. They also taught Averie when she was in the 3 year old class. I get to go 3 days a week, and I love it!

Here I am...all ready on my first day back!

My "pretty smile" for Mommy! :)

A little hesitant...

Bookbag is packed...lunchbox is full!

And, I am ready to go!

I was looking forward to going back to preschool, but I wasn't excited about Mommy leaving me there. But, I hugged her tight and went in hesitantly. But, after a few minutes, I loved it and was ready to go back the next time!

missing tooth

Look who's missing a tooth...yes, it's me, Averie Grace.

My tooth became loose right before bedtime...the next day at school, it was out. I loved losing my first tooth...and I am already excited for the next one to come out. Mommy says I'm growing up too fast. But, I am having fun!

brecken...

just a fun picture of Mommy & Brecken...

...& a fun picture of Brecken falling asleep in his jumperoo!

He was sleeping while still jumping. It was so funny!

7 months old

Look who's 7 months old...and as cute as ever!!

Our sweet Brecken Thomas

Big B & Little B

Learning to sit up all by himself...

...& learning to clap, laugh, stick out his tongue...and still stay sitting up! :)

He loves his tongue...and is so fascinated by it!

And, he's just plain adorable!

But, during this month...

...his favorite thing to do...

...was to stick out his tongue every time he smiled!

Happy 7 Months, Brecken!!

big fire

I LOVE "big fire"...you know, the restaurant where they cook in front of you. I am fascinated by it...watching the chef's every move. Then, I love to come home and mimic their cooking. I grab Mommy's (or my) spatula, frying pan, mixing bowl, and a receipt (with my order on it)...and I cook for whoever is in the room. It's so much fun!

Doing my "tricks"...

...& a few more...

...& making some good rice and noodles.

So, next time you come over, maybe I'll make you some good food :)

buggy fun

Look who's riding in the race car buggy with me? Yep, Brecken is finally sitting up well enough to ride in the buggy next to me. We love shopping with Mommy!

(Please excuse the blurriness of these pics...they were taken with Mommy's phone!)

Could this tilted smile be any more precious?

He's in serious race car driving mode!

He sure loves riding in this buggy!

fun helping Oma...

Oma loves buying clothes for the people in Haiti. We love helping her take off the tags,

fold them up, and then put them in the boxes to be shipped to them. So, one morning,

we got to hang out with Oma and help her get the clothes ready. We loved it and had

so much fun!

Getting them all ready!

Oma & us...we each had our piles folded and organized...ready to be shipped!
