Averien is climbing

Averien learned to crawl up the stairs this last week. On Wednesday morning while I was on the computer I heard her near the stairs and when I came around the corner she was 3 stairs up. I had no idea she knew what to do. She looked at me like she was so proud of herself but then cried like she wasn't sure what to do next. She tried to climb up again all day. Then a few days later she was on stairs again and when I saw her she was half way up. She scares the heck out of me because instead of turning her head to look at me she turns her whole body. When she finally made it all the way up Enoch was behind her the whole time or right next to her. When she would turn around to look at me I would jump a little because I was so worried she would fall down the stairs. When she finally got up the stairs she laid her head on the stairs like she was so tired. It was so cute.

Averien figured out how to climb through the kitchen chairs. It is so funny because she can't completely get over them so she gets stuck. She gets so sad and cries. Poor little girl. She is all over the house now. She isn't afraid to go anywhere. We all just love watching her crawl. She is crazy fast and will find something she wants and heads right for it. We have to vacuum all the time because if the vacuum doesn't eat it she will. She finds the smallest things to put into her mouth.

Averien loves the fridge and dishwasher. If she hears the fridge or dishwasher opening she quickly crawls to it. She loves to take out the silverware from the dishwasher and she also climbs on top of the door. It is so funny. We are always taking her off of it when we are trying to empty the dishwasher. When we load the dishwasher we have to move her completely away because she will grab out all the dirty silverware. When the fridge is open she will try to climb in it as well. I just loves these pictures of her standing in the fridge looking at all the food. It is as if she is looking at it all wondering what she'll eat.

Averien is extremely fun right now and so cute. She is still little and needs us but she is very good at playing on her own and getting things at her level that she wants. She is such a happy little girl.

So funny how they can just figure things out for themselves. She is such a smart little babe.
