Garlic is Good for You

At least that's what Avery said after dinner. Richard and I went to Hampden to spend the evening with this little guy while his mom and dad attended a meeting for those promoting engineering in Maine (I forget the actual name of the organization). First thing on the agenda was dinner, but Avery was needing a little snack while I prepared the tortellini so we gave him some saltines and some fruit snacks, per mom's recommendations. This kept him pretty busy, but we were afraid he wasn't going to eat. Not true. Avery can pack the food away, and you wouldn't even know it to look at him! He ended up eating the entire bowl of tortellini (chopped really small in the food processer) as well as some garlic toast (the soft part) and drink all his milk.
The rest of the evening included playing with toys... Avery has a remote car starter and a cell phone... toys for sure, but definitely on his list of favorite things to mess around with~ almost as much as the real things. He is getting really good eye/hand coordination and dexterity, I was pretty amazed at how he was pressing the buttons to make different sounds and then getting all happy and excited when these toys made the appropriate noises! Bathtime was a breeze, he loves splashing in the water :) We read some books, and then he went to bed without a fuss at all. Richard and I had a very enjoyable evening with this little guy, as well as some visiting time with Jen & Jason when they got home.
