Smiley girl!

 Avery has discovered her feet! She grabs them when she's on the floor and rolls around.

This is Avery's favorite toy. Anything she can get in her mouth is her favorite right now. She is exploring everything with her mouth. She is so smart!

Avery has the coolest pants. Everyone thinks they are too striped. But then you have to know the story of the candy cane striped maternity pants Janet sewed when she was pregnant with Brianna. It is true what they say: tragedy plus time equals comedy!

This is Avery in her "Chiropractic Assistant" shirt. The lady who supplies our office uniforms gave it to Avery when she came home. She finally has grown into it.

 

Avery's first Valentine's day. Great Grandma Fillmore had a family tradition of leaving a gift at each of her children's place at the breakfast table on Valentine's day. They had a large family of nine children also. We adopted this tradition when the first children were small. The kids were almost as excited for Valentine's day as they were for Christmas. Their anticipation is contagious. We all look forward to Valentine's day. Avery is a little drooly so this was the perfect occasion for a new bib!

Aaron and Avery playing together one morning.

Avery is having a taste of her "moose" coat. 

 

Snuggle time with Stephen.

This was Christmas morning. The kids slept in until about 6a.m. They are all WIDE awake.
