When I grow smaller…

Avery has always fought growing up. From rolling over, to crawling, to walking, she has taken her time. She was perfectly content to be a baby and was in no hurry. She was walking by the time she was a year old which is normal. But, she still wanted to be held and carried around as much as possible. She still does. We go anywhere and she wants to be carried. She has been the total opposite of  Mackenzie and Gavin- as soon as they could walk, they wanted to walk. They wanted the independence. Avery is so funny because she talks all the time about “when I grow smaller”…. “when I grow smaller, I will be a baby.” “When I grow smaller, I can have a binki.” “When I grow smaller, I will sleep in a crib.” And don’t even think about telling her that she is wrong because she will argue and no matter what you say, she will not believe you.  She is going to be pretty disappointed when she finally realizes that her baby days are over. She makes us laugh every day and I just want to be sure to write some of these things down because with the other kids, I didn’t. They do and say these these things that are so funny and you think that you will never forget them but you do. I wish I had written more down with the other kids but I just didn’t think to do it. I guess I thought I had a better memory than I actually do!
