10 Months Old!!!

Avery you are 10 months old! We don't have any official stats because we don't go back to the Dr. until your 1st birthday, but you are growing like a weed! You are getting more and more hair! Yeah! We've graduated from the big bows to the small ones becasue I can finally clip them in your hair. (although the big ones are still my favorite) You are becoming so independent! You always want down on the floor to play and crawl everywhere and get into everything! You "walk" really well with us holding your hands. I'm still saying you will be walking before your birthday! As far as food goes, all I can say is BLUBERRIES! They are your new favorite and you can't get enough of them! We are lucky that you like all types of fruits and veggies. You are sleeping great and taking good naps. You love going to the sitter's and playing with the "big kids." We are having so much fun with you and you are cuter by the day!


Miss Avery is SO over sitting in the chair to take her monthly picture!

Bathtime & PJs

Avery sportin' an adorable bathrobe!




I am not a fan of characters at this point, (I'm sure this will change when Avery's begging me for one of them later on) but I must admit she looks pretty darn cute in her new Dora pjs she got from Grandma and Grandpa!



Playing with her "baby" (glo worm)...she LOVES this thing!

Spring??? and a Blueberry Breakfast

Is it me or was the first day of spring not a week ago?

This was Saturday evening at our house, the snow was really pretty but winter go away already!



We gave Avery bananas and a blueberry NutriGrain bar for breakfast. She loved it, but also loved smearing it in her hair and all over her face!


That was fun to clean up! Needless to say she went into the bathtub as soon as she was done! :)

Great Grandmas

Avery is lucky enough to have all four Great Grandmas. Two of them, my grandmas, live in the same apartment complex. (which I think is funny, but it's also convenient for visits!) We went to see them the other day and they were both just eating Miss Avery up!

9 Months Old!

We are a few days late with this post but since there's not a "30th" day in February we decided to post it after her 9 month check up. Miss Avery was a wild woman in the doctor's office today! Not in a bad way, but she definitely was FULL of energy! She was jabbering up a storm and crawling all over the table. She was pulling on the doctor's stethoscope, kissing the mirror (there was drool running down it!) and would not sit still for anything! The doctor didn't mind she said she'd rather her act like this than be crying. When the doctor was leaving Avery was waving "bye bye" to her. It was so cute! The doctor said she is Miss Social. On to her stats, she weighs 19 lbs. and is 27.5 inches tall. She is in the 45th percentile for both. She has 6 teeth, four on top and two on the bottom. I think she may be cutting another one because she has a runny nose and is drooling like crazy! She says "Mama" and "Dada" all the time! She babbles ALL the time and is making all kinds of new sounds. She crawls EVERYWHERE! Our house is now baby proofed! She can pull herself up on anything and even stood for a couple seconds on her own the other day. I happen to think she'll be walking before her 1st birthday! :) Avery eats pretty much all table food now. She still eats some baby food, but mostly whatever we are eating. She loves everything! Everything except peas that is. She still hates them. Yogurt, asparagus, green beans, turkey and goldfish are a few of her new faves! She is very active and all over the place! She loves exploring! She is fascinated by magazines, she will sit there and just turn the pages and stare at them...and maybe tear a few out! The doctor asked about any stranger anxiety, yeah right! Not yet, at least! She loves for people to talk to her, she may take a few minutes to warm up to them and try to figure them out, but then she'll flash that big toothy grin of hers! She also loves little kids! We will be out in a store or somewhere and if she hears a baby crying or a little kid talking she'll be looking around everywhere to see them. When she does see them she'll just stare at them. She is so interested in little kids, I guess cause they're more her size! Ha! She has the cutest laugh that we can't get enough of! She has become very cuddly lately and her daddy and I LOVE it! She is the sweetest thing and we couldn't love her more! I can't believe we have a 9 month old! Time...can you please slow down!!!


So this is the only picture I could get of her in her chair with her puppy! (at least the only one where she was looking) I could not stop laughing when I saw it! This is a perfect example of her mood today...WILD and wound up!


Here's a couple more normal pics from today! Ha ha!
