Avery's First Date!?!

If you saw yesterday's post you will understand what is going on here... it appears that big man Davin may be taking my little girl out! I have mixed feelings... but at least he appears to be a gentleman.

I'm pretty impressed that he would go through these lengths to please my daughter even after their "ride" breaks down apparently.

It seems that he also is fairly impressed with himself...

...and Avery? Well, she seems pretty smitten by the gesture!

Wait... wha... what's... what's going on here?

No, there is no way. Don't worry Avery, he wouldn't just leave you on the side of the road alone. Not a chance. I know his parents. He was raised better than that.

Are ya kidding me!?! Where is he? Do you see him Avery? What's he doing?!?

Oh wow. Avery... I'm so sorry. It seems that he might just be chasing other girls... older girls... girls with working vehicles it seems. That's it! He's done! No more cruisin with Davin.

Well, Avery. Lesson learned early I guess. Gotta look out for yourself. Your heart is bound to be broken eventually. I just didn't think it would happen this soon. Whatcha gunna do, hey?

Oh! That's what you're gonna do! The only thing you can, huh? Take matters into your own hands! Forget him! Good for you!

He's Quite a Man...

A couple days ago, last minute, like always, the Z's had the good fortune to go hang out with some friends and our little godson, Davin. Davin was featured in this blog once or twice before as he was born only a couple months after little Avery. Despite his younger age, we constantly marvel at his much larger size, he is quite the "beast" as we so lovingly refer to him as. He is not quite walking on his own yet, but he decided to show us a feat of his strength during our visit anyhow. Who needs to walk when you can pull this off?

That's right. Pushing your truck home. Like I said, who cares about walking when you impress the ladies with bulging baby "muscles" man handling a Ford F150? You should have seen his proud papa! It was just so entertaining that I couldn't help taking a video of this little brut in action...

Avery was so impressed and "swooned" by his feats of strength that it just plumb tuckered her out! By the time the night was over she decided that she had better get in a little more beauty sleep! Even though she doesn't need it...

I Try to Accurately Represent...

So, the little darling is becoming much less of a little darling on several occasions now. It seems that it all started happening the week after she turned 1 year old. Funny how that seems to happen, hey? I've posted so many picture of a smiling little girl and for the most part that is an accurate representation of Avery thus far. However, now I am going to have to accurately represent the rest of her life and one of these days I am going to get one of her really "good" tantrums on film. On film... hmmm... right. When was the last time anyone put anything actually on film? You know what I mean!

The pictures below were taken as Mommy was trying to change Avery's post breakfast shirt. You will be able to tell what I am talking about with accurately representing our sweet little Avery some days.

It would appear that life is pretty rough, heh? As unemotional and/or discipline focused I seem to be at times during these little "episodes" it is still perplexing to me how I can look at the picture now and a week later start to feel bad for the little angel. Funny how that works.

Here is a video I took that morning as well when I was attempting to catch her crabby in the act... note the unfortunate timing of my laugh at her and then the oh so sympathetic reaction of her Mommy. LOL. I think you will be able to tell what we had already gone through that morning...

Thanks Effery!

The Z's were gifted with a webcam not to long ago by Uncle Effery... I spent some time trying to figure it out...

I gotta admit, I started with quite a bit of skeptism...

I installed it and then began to try to figure out how to use it properly... it wasn't working quite right...

It just would not work for me! I needed a break and a beverage...

Shoot. Still nothing. Plus my mouth seemed glued shut... maybe my skeptism was not undeserved you difficult webcam!

Wait. Hold on a sec...

Lets not jump the gun just because the operator is having some problems...

Give it chance, Adam....

Ahhhhhh!!! There it is!

Totally worth it! :-)

Critters Like Other Critters

What could it be that demands such attention from the critter below?

What is such a thing that would seize the eyes of a second critter as well, so promptly?

Apparently,     critters       like        critters...                a  lot.

So much so that things just get down right depressing when a critter has to leave...

down right doggy depressing.

(You can't tell that I'm trying to use some old pictures I wanted to use before I "filed" them away...  can you?    Nah. Didn't think so. )
