Avery is so affectionate and always doting on her little brother.  Since Mason is in school more now I get to spend a lot more time with Avery and she is such an amazing little girl.  She is so incredibly compassionate and gets upset if she doesn't get to kiss/hug everyone at night, including Cole.  She also holds little Cole's face and tells him, "I love you Cole."  She loves to sing and dance and likes to read books, color, write, and make us laugh.  She has a stubborn streak and when she gets sent to her room, she will often tell me, "You leave me no choice!" as she turns and runs to her room (from the movie Bolt).  She loves surprises and when we are proud of her.  She can use scissors great, hold a pen or marker, can spell her name, and is trying to write letters.  She told me the other day, "Mama, I am pretty and beautiful." Yes she is!!  She also tells me, "Mama, this is good, delicious, and tasty" or "We will Mama, we promise!"  What a doll our little Avie!    She will often say, "I want to hold Colesty!" Here she is holding her little brother, Colesty.
