The biggest event of Avery's 13th month was her second trip to Florida. She did pretty good on the plane. Lots of walking up and down the aisle. We had a great time in Florida. Lots of time at the pool, one trip to the beach, a trip to the Sarasota children's garden and special time with Papa and Grandma Stapleton. Also got to see her GG Edie and great uncle Ray.
This month Avery also popped her first top tooth through so now there are 3 total. She's getting steadier on her feet. Also learning to fight back a little when her older sister takes something away from her! She makes lots of fun noises and seems to be trying to communicate with those noises. She waves bye bye and gives five. She still takes a bottle before naps and bedtime. Still sleeping like a champ. 2 naps and sleeps at night from 6-6:30. She is doing a baby class with Emily.
Isla is turning into our little girl. She had her first Disney experience in Florida. She wasn't really into going up to the princesses but once she got warmed up she loved the rides. She went on rides pretty much straight from 11-8:30! She even sat alone with us behind her on the Aladdin's carpet ride. She really enjoyed the pool this year and playing with her second cousins Stella and Lauren.
Isla is doing great at "school." She is writing some letters and working on sounds (at Montessori school they don't teach letters just sounds.) She loves art and her dance class. Her first recital is coming up soon! She also started soccer this spring and seems to like it. I do think she will be a performer more than an athlete though.
