Happy First Birthday

Avery trying to put on the swim suit she got for her birthday.

Eating the frosting. Her first taste of cake!

Avery pulled out the candle and tried to eat it.

Avery didn't know what to think of the birthday candle. (Strange anniversary traditions!)

 Avery is eating "raw."
Avery has good taste in art! We've moved on from potatoes to markers. Yumm!
Who has big teeth?  Avery looks just like mom!

October 5 - Avery's first steps!

Avery's first steps caught on film! Monday she took her first step and within minutes she was walking up to eight steps. It has almost been a week and she is toddling everywhere. She still likes to hold onto things and walk around the furniture, but she is standing up in the middle of rooms and walking. She is pretty proud of herself.


She is eating so well. She had some pumpkin pie tonight. She is definitely a fan. (It was home-made, with honey.) She is almost weaned. She likes solid food so much that she doesn't ever ask to nurse. I've just been hanging on until she was better at drinking from a cup. She has been doing pretty well lately. At night when she wakes up she is happy with a drink of water and goes right back to bed. Last week she started to sleep through the night. Not every night, but about half the time she doesn't wake up. The other half she gets up twice, but goes back to bed easily.

This week she will be one! It has been an amazing year. She is a delight and a wonder. We are so thankful for her!
