When Life Gives You a Lemmon, Make an Avery

My maiden name is Lemmon. The other day, we were talking about learning lessons from life, and I said, "When life gives you a Lemmon, make an Avery." We laughed so much we wondered if we ought to post this saying on a cute little plaque in Avery's room, but in the end we decided against it. Instead, we have it as a title to a post. I guess that's almost as good.

You can decide who she looks most like.

I'm on my mom's lap

Here's Avery

Nathan

You, the reader, can decide.

Since I'm on the topic of comparing people, here are a couple more comparisons. Here's me feeding Avery when she was 6 months.

My favorite pastime

I had to pin her arms down with my feet because she would inevitably stick her hands in her face and wipe it EVERYWHERE. Pinning her on the ground meant that not only was gravity on my side when she decided to spit, but that she couldn't wipe her hands everywhere. :) We have since purchased a high chair.


One last comparison. I saw a picture of my niece, and for some strange reason, the first thing I thought of was Tori Amos.

Leah

Tori Amos

I guess I'm ok with Leah looking like Tori Amos, but I hope she doesn't grow up to be like Tori.
