Avery has been doing pretty well lately. She finally got to see her cousins this past weekend. The last time she saw them both was before her surgery in November. I think she was very excited to see them. They definitely tired her out and she fell asleep right after they left. Speaking of sleeping, Avery has not been going to bed until very late at night. It is exhausting. She has been going to bed around 11:30 or midnight. By the time she gets to bed, Tim and I are ready for bed. We don't know why she doesn't like to sleep at night. We thought maybe she was scared of the dark even though she has a nightlight so we tried leaving the light on. Nope,that didn't help. Then we tried letting her lay in bed with us until she fell asleep and then we would move her to her crib. The only problem is that she never fell asleep in our bed so that didn't work either. We are kind of at a loss. We used to have a routine where we would feed her a bottle, go into her room and read her a few books and then put her to bed. She started catching on and started to cry when we would read the books because she knew that it was close to bedtime.
Help Me Grow came to see Avery today to develop her yearly IFSP (individualized family service plan). We (well actually Tim since I had to work) discussed what our goals are for her for the next 6 months-year. Here is a link that discusses IFSP's.. http://ifspweb.org/benefits.html .They did a little assessment on her and got the same results as the Bayley test. She is very delayed in speech but doing really well cognitively.
Avery has an ENT appointment next week. We have had to cancel it twice due to freezing temps and bad weather so hopefully she will be able to make it to the appointment next week. We are hoping to get a hearing test. Personally, I think Avery's hearing is fine but I feel I need to have the doctor verify that.

I have crazy pants on in this picture, just like Mommy. She was trying to tickle my toes!
Is this how you warm up broccoli?

In this picture Mommy was trying to convince me that she would buy me a new toy if I carried around her pedometer for work. I think she might have been fibbing, hence the look on my face.
Oh well, I like Mommy kisses so I am going to play along anyway.
