What's the deal with stupid teeth anyway?!??!

Avery showing off her first two front teeth

(and her chubby-cheek smile)

I mean really, what are they good for beside torturing little babies??? I guess I can joke about all this now since the pain in my mouth is gone, but a few months ago, all I could do was cry and cry and cry ... just ask Mommy and Daddy.

And I think you're suppose to get more than two teeth total, right??? Does that mean the torture will start back up again??? Why won't Mommy and Daddy just get me fake teeth like all those celebrities do instead???

Avery with her loosy-toothy bright smile

On the brink ...

Crawling just isn't enough ... I want it all ...

Watch how close I am to being able to do whatever I want whenever I want ...



And sorry about the sideways video ... my blog videographer sometimes forgets to turn the camera the right way.

My new best of best friends ...

I've still been kind of bummed about Suzy passing away and losing my best friend, but I think the dogs have noticed since they are starting to now let me tug, pull, play, and grab at them just like I use to do with Suzy.

For example, here's a video and some pics of me and the dogs having so much fun ...

My dogs are just total awesome best friends ...

After all the fun is over, Scout-No also makes a great pillow

Yum ... yum ... good ...

I love thick yellow food!!!!!

I can't wait to eat all the colors someday!!!

Take a wild guess who fed me tonight ... here's a hint, it wasn't Mommy ...

The Great Escape ...

Since I now have crawled everywhere there is to possibly go in the house, I have set my sights on grander horizons ... mastering the great outdoors!!! There's a big problem with that though ... Mommy and Daddy keep restricting my desires to roam as free as the dogs, play in the long thick grass, and finally perform a proper search for my beloved Fluffy.

So, I have hatched a plan to escape these walls (and jailers) that try to contain me ... let me know what you think?

First, I have secretly been practicing standing and climbing out of the crib so that I can shimmy down the side when no one is looking.

Avery making sure the coast is clear

Once I'm covertly on the floor, I'll hit the ground running (or crawling, so to speak) to quickly make the journey from my back bedroom to the back door of the house.

Avery covertly crawling the massive span of the house

Then, I'll lie in the shadows by the back door waiting for my prime opportunity to make a run (or rather, crawl) for it. This will be the easiest part since Mommy usually blankly stares at the computer screen like a zombie for hours at a time (probably playing those spelling games she plays I imagine).

Avery waiting for opportunity to knock

And when that moment appears, I'll be ready ... I'm thinking my best bet will be to mingle in with the dogs when they get let outside. Mommy and Daddy are usually too sleep deprived to notice one extra "dog" going out the door ... right???

This is going to be awesome!!!

Avery mixing in with the dogs as

they head outside ... success!!!

Yeah, I sleep with my butt up in the air ...

Avery practicing her 'Child's Pose' yoga position

... so what of it???

Now I don't try to do it on purpose, but it seems like I just naturally roll into this position. Maybe there's some natural reasoning behind the naming on that yoga position??? I don't really know and I don't really care since I'm always sound asleep when I'm sleeping just like this ...

Avery very sound asleep

Watch out!!!! Get out of my way!!!

Here I come ... I'm coming to get you ...

I should note that I get around a lot easier in my shorts than in my feet-PJ's.

And I also get distracted very easily ... but with so much new ground to cover, everything is so brand new and wild it's amazing!!!

Avery's super fun time with Auntie Em ...
