Dear Daddy

Charlie, Here are some things Avie has started doing over the last 5 days that you have been gone:
* making a "clicking"noise with her tongue
* saying "mamamamam"
* babbling more
* sticking her tongue out again
* standing up much better on her own
* listening when I put the phone to her ear
* wants to walk all of the time. She does not like sitting down anymore
* taken more of an interest in watching TV
* focusing on my lips when I talk to her
* taken a big interest in cats (and no we are not getting one)
* she started putting those little puff things into her mouth by herself. remember how she would just hold them or put them on the floor, well now she puts them in her mouth
* she has been really "clingy" lately. wants to sit on your lap when playing on the floor and wants to constantly be held
* she has been laying her head on my shoulder and chest when she is sleepy.
* she misses you so much. we have been practicing "dadada" every single day. whenever i say it, she just smiles and kicks her feet.

i will post some more pictures on here soon.
we miss and love you so much!
