Bowling

Al had his big shelf exam for Neurology on Friday morning, so he had the rest of the day off! We got a coupon in the mail about a local bowling alley, for 3 free games of bowling and so we took them up on it.

It was pretty fun. I don't even remember the last time Al and I went bowling...and Avery had never been, so we were all kind of rusty. Avery was happy that she got a blue bowling ball, but kept saying the ball was "too heavy!" She would get really excited whenever it was her turn and would put on quite a show of walking up to the lane to roll the ball down.

Some other new Avery things:

She has started using the phrases "how about" "a little bit" and "pretty neat." Sometimes when she wakes up from a nap she will say to me, "How about watch a little bit Dora?" Or she will say "How about play trains?"

Every time we pass a water tower while we are driving around Avery will say, "Ball too heavy!" And then sometimes when we pass a really big tree she'll say, "Tree too heavy!"

She will fairly often say the word, "Ka-pow!" under her breath or while she is playing. She learned it from watching the movie 'Cars.' She also loves the song, "Life is a Highway" and sings it pretty often. Yesterday while we were out shopping she asked repeatedly to "buy Cars music."

Avery learned how to say her full name. It is really cute. I'm trying to get that one on video.
