TV and Toddlers

Ok, I know I know... Toddlers aren't supposed to watch TV. I think the people who are able to enforce that are either saints, or don't own TVs. I mean, really. You're home all day (a day off or something) and you aren't supposed to watch ANY TV in front of the kid? And you AREN'T going to put something on TV for the kid to watch? Even if they're being obnoxious and it will chill them out? Yeah, I'm not that good...

So, what I'm saying is, we're not saints, so Avery watches TV. Not all the time. In fact, I love the fact that her school doesn't have any TVs, so she doesn't get it during the day except when she's home on weekends. However, the TV is unfortunately going in the evenings if we're home, but it makes EVERYONE happier.

Well, now, she has favorite TV shows. She's always liked Stephen Colbert, and Elmo is a fixture around here, but wow... Her new shows? Zaboomafoo and Caillou. (we do Sprout network around here a lot). She calls them "aboo" and "ay-ou", and asks for them pretty regularly. Is this odd, lol?

Anyway, I pulled out my camera and took some pics of her tonight. Got one with Caillou, but also got some cute ones of her trying to take pictures for me... Enjoy!

Finally got a new camera!

Ok, so I've been very lax about this blog for the last year, but I have a good excuse. Well, kind of. I broke my camera last May. How did I do this? There was a huge spider crawling towards Avery, and I used my OPEN camera (lens out) to squash it! Broke the lens focus mechanism... Anyway, I finally got a new one! Yay! Thanks, hubby! :)

So, here's some updates from Avery's 2 year doctor's appointment.
She's 34" (in the 56%)
26.7 lbs (51%)
48 1/2 inch CM head, lol... (76%, big head like daddy)
And now they take her blood pressure! She did great with it, and her bp was
88/50, which I guess is normal for a toddler?

And of course, I have some pictures now! Some of these my dad took at her birthday party, and some of these are my first fly with the new camera. Oh, and one of what she's doing right now! Silly kiddo. Man, I missed having a camera. Maybe now I'll be better at keeping this updated. :)
