The Coast

This past weekend, we went to the coast to spend some time in the fresh air and hang out with our friend's, the G's.  Avery loved spending time with Elise.  Now that Avery's a bit older, they seem to play together a lot more.  Of course, Avery looks on with jealousy as Elise can just crawl away with any toy she wants while Avery is stuck playing with those surrounding her.  However, she's getting very good at really reeeeeeaaaaaaching for the toys out of reach and can usually get there eventually.  The crawling thing isn't happening just yet, but I am quite confident that once it does, my life will change dramatically.



We went to the aquarium in Newport which Avery seemed to enjoy.  That's where the picture above was taken. She gave us some little giggles when she saw the puffer fish and the jelly fish, as well as when some baby sharks were swimming in a pool where we could pet them.

Nain (my mom) has been here visiting for the past week.  Avery loves having her around.  She just smiles and smiles whenever she sees Mom.  It's really very heartwarming to see. Tomorrow, Mom, Avery, and I will head to eastern Oregon to visit Mom's brother and his wife. Fortunately, Avery has been an excellent traveler thus far, so I am hoping the trend continues!
