Easter egg hunting was a great joy for little Avery both at Grannys and at Memas on Sunday. We also enjoyed coloring eggs too. Tuesday came and Avery had her big ear tube surgery. The doctor also removed her adenoids which needed to come out. When she is older she will need the tonsils removed as well. She did really well with the surgery

Life with our 17th month old has been exciting and busy as ever. Tuesday we had appoinments with the ear doctors and they agreed she needs to have ear tubes put in to help her ears. She still has fluid built up and it doesnt want to drain out so we need to get some tubes and her andnoids taken out as well. It was strange for daddy to take her into get her ears tested and sit in the little room. I can remember those sound proof rooms very well, though it was me being tested for the longest time. I still get an occasional test. Anyway Avery and daddy spent all day in tulsa in between appoinments since we drove mommy to work. We took a trip to the movies to see Horton Hears a Who. It was a lot of fun and well done. Avery enjoyed her snacks and crawling around gabbing away. She made it right up to the last 10 or 15 minutes and then decided she wanted to roam around more and whine. But we did enjoy the day.

Good Friday was the first warm day we have had in weeks and we enjoyed going out and getting some sun. A little too much for mommy as she got her first sun burn for the year. We took along Lindsey and her kids as well who are a little older in years then Avery, 3, 4, and 5 i believe. We went to the park and the zoo which was overly crowded. We saw Elephants, Giraffes, giant turtles which Avery loved, and other animals. It was a great time.

Today we went to see Granny and enjoy the church easter egg hunt. Avery was eager to start but it took her a while to figure out what she was supposed to do with the eggs and basket. After a while she got into it and loved it more. It was nice to spend the afternoon out there. Tommrow after morning service we will head to memas for lunch and another egg hunt. All of this to celebrate the Risen Lord. This evening we also dyed easter eggs. This was Averys first time to do so and first egg hunt other than daddy carrying her around last year to get the eggs. Our darling Avery is growing up so fast.

Where did the time go? I'm really not sure, Avery took off somewhere with my watch. And now all i can think about is how to get the bannanas out of the carpet while trying to convince Avery not everything goes in the mouth. We sure have had our moments with our little one these days which makes things busy. There has not really been too much to report or we have just doing other things. Mostly from sun up to sun down its all about taking care of Avery to and from day care or doing our day jobs. Avery does enjoy day care of course and now that its warmer she can go outside.

One thing we are concerned with is that her speech skills are behind for her age due to ear infections and other things. We are taking her to a ENT doctor to have them give us some advice, possibly getting tubes in her ears. Hopefully that works since we want our little one to be able to talk to us. Of course she has understanding down pretty well and can pretty much get the point across without words. If she wants food she goes into the kitchen and points to her high chair, then shakes her head at every food choice we put in front of her. So maybe a word or two could help. We will see how that goes, right now its schedualed for two weeks.

As for the yard, the city finally came and picked up the tree mess left over from the ice storm. And our neighbor came by and cut down our trunk in the front yard for us so that was a blessing. Seems like i have a lot of work ahead of me though now regarding the yard mostly and house work. Busy bees that is us. At least we have had the Gilmore girls to get us through the winter, now we are in the final season and spring is upon us. You know its spring when the thunder storms start rolling in. So fun. So wet.
