And we have to be very careful about what we say to him these days too. For example, he now tells me “1 second” and holds up his little pointer finger. He also goes N-n-n-n-n-nn-no-no-no-no, copying the way we say it. And he frequently tries to put us in time out and tell’s us “no pushing” when we try to move him from somewhere he’s not supposed to be. We’re still having a lot of problems with him biting. Self-defense biting is down, but excitement and random play biting is up. However, when he does bite (and he knows he’s not supposed to) he looks at you with his cute eyes and with the most excitement ever says, “Hi!!”. He keeps saying “Hi!!” all cute like “I just bit you? I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I’m really cute.”</p> cwhittle tag:baby.cc511.info,2008-11-05:925 2008-11-05T04:48:00Z 2008-11-05T06:12:53Z <p><em>“America, we have come so far.

Avery quickly caught on about which ones to pick. Surprisingly, he actually put a few in the bucket before stuffing his face with purply-goodness. He was quite a sight to be seen after the picking. Mouth covered in purple, hands covered in purple with juice running down both arms, blackberries all over his clothes. If we’re still here this time next year, we’ll definitely go again, early maybe, so we can get blueberries at the same time. </p> <p><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cc511/2733428351/" title="IMG_6550 by cc511, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3144/2733428351_da5829288b_m.jpg" height="240" alt="IMG_6550" width="180" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cc511/2734267070/" title="IMG_6575 by cc511, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3064/2734267070_e39129656e_m.jpg" height="240" alt="IMG_6575" width="180" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cc511/2733436265/" title="IMG_6572 by cc511, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3171/2733436265_23e4f7b5f8_m.jpg" height="240" alt="IMG_6572" width="180" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cc511/2733443621/" title="IMG_6582 by cc511, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3036/2733443621_18e9358279_m.jpg" height="240" alt="IMG_6582" width="180" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cc511/2733429927/" title="IMG_6553 by cc511, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3025/2733429927_1d4aa3f9c3_m.jpg" height="240" alt="IMG_6553" width="180" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cc511/2734255734/" title="IMG_6549 by cc511, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3227/2734255734_578551179b_m.jpg" height="240" alt="IMG_6549" width="180" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cc511/2734249706/" title="IMG_0918 by cc511, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3118/2734249706_fb018c9099_m.jpg" height="240" alt="IMG_0918" width="180" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cc511/2733418723/" title="IMG_0921 by cc511, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3094/2733418723_2d24b6e9f1_m.jpg" height="240" alt="IMG_0921" width="180" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cc511/2733447991/" title="IMG_6604 by cc511, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3098/2733447991_b182d63603_m.jpg" height="240" alt="IMG_6604" width="180" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cc511/2734278242/" title="IMG_6605 by cc511, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3164/2734278242_60b9e01e66_m.jpg" height="240" alt="IMG_6605" width="180" /></a> <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cc511/2734250888/" title="IMG_6543 by cc511, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3056/2734250888_4362938498.jpg" height="240" alt="IMG_6543" width="180" /></a><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/cc511/2734281618/" title="IMG_6620 by cc511, on Flickr"><img src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3139/2734281618_23ba76d495.jpg" height="500" alt="IMG_6620" width="375" /></a></p> cwhittle tag:baby.cc511.info,2008-08-05:902 2008-08-05T01:25:00Z 2008-08-05T01:32:46Z <p>Avery: …whine, whine, whine!, whine, whine… (flops down on floor, starts a tantrum)</p> <p>Corey: Avery, use your words.</p> <p>Avery: <strong>Word.</strong></p> cwhittle tag:baby.cc511.info,2008-07-31:900 2008-07-31T22:54:00Z 2008-08-01T17:39:26Z <p>Someone this afternoon asked if I was keeping track of all the words Ave is saying and milestones.
