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!

Avery standing

Not quite ready to start walking, but she is great at standing up.

Navajo Lake

The volcano cone on the left is called "Cabezon" which means "fathead" in Spanish. On our drive to go camping. 
Aaron and Avery having a nap at the lake while the big kids skied. Mom started reading Mortimer Alder's "How to Read a Book."
This is Avery's crawling style. Hands and feet! She is as cute as a bug!
Avery says "Camping is #1!"

Navajo Lake 2009

Eating hashbrowns on the way to the lake.
We went camping at Navajo Lake in August. Avery's first camping trip! We spent the days on the lakeshore. Avery, Aaron and Mom sat in the shade under a tent awning and read books, ate snacks and splashed in the water. Avery loved playing in the sand.

August 2009

Avery and her brothers are making reflections on the wall with a glittery hat. Avery took a minute out to smile for a picture.

This is the first time Avery tasted hummus. She is a big fan! She has never been so excited about a new food. She not only ate it heartily, but she reveled in it! It is all over her face and her hair.

Mediterranean facial!

MMMmmmmmm. I LOVE hummus!
