Little Secrets ...

Avery sneaking away to her secret Rock Star life ...

All of you out there in the blog-o-sphere probably think you know who I am and what I'm all about ... well, get ready to have that image totally blown away ...

See, I have this little secret ... I like to hop onto my motorbike, let my hair down, and just fly into the wind ...

Happy Daddy's Day, Daddy!!!!

Avery and Daddy goofing around at home

I'm just so lucky to have such a great and fun Daddy like mine ... I love you Daddy!!!!

Milk wins hands down ...

Avery performing her "taste-off"

One night out at dinner last week I got a little curious about all these "brown bottles" I always see Mommy, Daddy, and others drinking from, so I thought I would finally give it a try myself.

Now maybe I'm biased, but I don't think there isn't anything truly better than a "white bottle" ... and I should distinguish from the very different types of "white bottles" ... one from Boobie was always the very best, with one from the refrigerator carton a close second, and the instant power/shaker variety can be referred to as bottom barrel dead last. Thus, for this "taste-off", refrigerator milk would have to do against this "brown bottle" elixir.

And as I could have guess ... my "white bottle" milk clearly beats this brown sludge of a liquid hands down ... it's not even close. Too bad that's what most adults choose ... "brown bottles" over "white bottles" ... I guess that just leaves more for me and all my baby friends!!!

Sailing the treacherous deep blue waters ...

Daddy helping Avery navigate through the treacherous deep blue waters

It seems that I have officially graduated from the "kiddie pool" and now have transitioned into sailing the deep blue waters (the ones that flow in Grandma and Grandpa's backyard, that is). Since this was my maiden voyage, Daddy came along to help me navigate the treacherous waters that lay ahead ... although, he mostly swam along the side of my craft since there was only room for one captain on this adventure ... me.

Daddy explaining to Avery the finer points of navigation

Along the route, one could hear all sorts of animal movements off in the distance. I could even see with my own two eyes things that thrashed about in the undertow that I would never dare image. I don't know what I would have done if my trusty sidekick was not always there to see me though ...

Daddy battling with the forces on nature to calm the waters for Avery

As all good things eventual come to an end, so was our adventure. So I do now declare victory upon circling the perimeter of these vast waters and hereby claim that these waters shall now be referred to as "Avery's Cove" from this point forward.

What a fun adventure with Daddy!!!

Uhhh ohhh ...

Ohhh nooo ... what has happened to our sweet Avery now?!!??!

Uhhh ohhh, why is that spoon in Avery's hand ... and is that the same noodle up her nose now that was previously on the corner of her mouth??!!??

The plot thickens ...

... aah haa ... we should have guessed this was the beginning of the story!!!!
