We watched Home Alone tonight for the first time with the girls as we thought they might like another and slightly different holiday movie. How could you go wrong with a kid who is left home alone and pulls pranks on 2 guys trying to rob the house?
We were asked a lot of questions about the movie while watching, one of which was "how could they forget the boy?" We had to explain that there were a lot of people in the house (multiple families) and they woke up late and were rushing to catch a flight so it was easy to forget someone who was asleep in his own room. This is when Taylor shared with us her thoughts on the matter in relation to our own family. She knew that the boy in the movie was the youngest so she clearly was thinking about whether this could happen to us with Avery and clearly she didn't think it was possible.
"We wouldn't get very far without realizing Avery wasn't with us."
Classic. One might think that it was an innocent comment as if we would have never made it to the plane like they did in the movie but we know better. She was speaking to how needy and loud Avery is a lot of the time!

Sept 2012 Update 1 - Avery
It has been a while since we posted anything so here are some daddy updates...
Avery's vocabulary has exploded recently. Not all of it is used correctly (e.g. "uppy" means put me down) but she is talking non-stop now. It is worth mentioning that I am using the word talking very loosely here. Most of what she says is screamed all the time especially if you don't listen to her right away when she starts talking. It can go a little something like "Daddy, DAddy, DADdy, DADDy, DADDY, DADDY, DADDY" and it doesn't stop until you acknowledge her. It is pretty funny.
As for her words, I know I'll forget some but here is a bit of a list...Daddy, Mommy, Mama, Car, Kodi, LaLa (Taylor), Uppy, Duice (Juice), baby, nigh night, bouk (book), more (naturally), bink (her binky), woa, out, no, no way (her new favorite phrase) and many more.
It should be worth pointing out that I have been trying to get her to say "I love daddy" for months now and it is not going well. The conversation goes a little something like this.
Me: Do you love Daddy?
Avery: shakes her head yes (most of the time but not always)
Me: Say I love you Daddy
Avery: No, no way
Anyway, Taylor was close to two before I got my first "I lul lou" and I will continue the fight with Avery because when she finally caves (and she will) I'll be very happy. Kendel approaches this very differently than I do. She has always waited until I break the baby in with an "I lul lou" and then just says "say I love you Mommy" and she gets a quick response. I like to tell myself that my I lul lous mean more considering I bagger the children for at least 6 months before I finally hear a proper response.
Avery is a little over 1 1/2 now and she is so much fun right now. I do feel she will be the hardest 2-3 year old of the three of them because she is the most stubborn but right now is a lot of fun. One of my favorite things is watching her walk to the bus stop every morning to get Taylor on the bus. She pushes her baby stroller and baby to the bus stop every day. It is very cute. I am really enjoying watching her grow and how much she loves her sisters and how much they love her. It is great to see.
