Anna Kate and Avery Jean

So, as I shared yesterday, we spend Mother's Day weekend in Greensboro. This was the second time Anna got to be around her cousin Avery. Avery was a little more interested in Anna this time, but was still shy around "Baby Anna". Avery enjoyed being loved on by her family, and even showed Anna Kate some love by the end of the weekend.

Avery being silly.

Playing with magnets with Uncle Mark.

My mom worked on Avery's potty training while she was in Greensboro. She would put Avery on the potty and read to her while Avery "tried". While we were making lunch, we looked into the hallway to see that Avery had taken the stuffed bear, and put him on the potty and was reading to him. In the second photo you can see that she is checking to see if he did anything. Later, I snuck a grape into the potty, and I only wish I caught the expression on her face when she checked the potty to see that there was something in there! We flushed the grape together..

Following the beagles! I love these photos. they are almost like out of a story book.

Had to be carried back by Ru. She would have walked forever.

Checking out a centipede with Uncle Mark. I just love her little hand holding onto him!

Finally, Avery showing Anna Kate what a good big cousin she is. For those of you that don't know, that blanket is Avery's "Bebe", which she carries everywhere and must have. When we were walking around in the yard, my Mom thought Anna looked cold and asked Avery if Anna could borrow her Bebe. Avery slowly walked over and handed over the Bebe and watched quietly as baby Anna used her blanket. What a good big cousin!
