For math one day Alisa and mom were using shapes to learn fractions. Avery had a good time playing with them. Stephen was making eyeglasses out of them to see things in different colors. Avery got a bang out of that too! Last weekend we took the kids to the movie. Avery sat on my lap and ate popcorn. When ever Brad would put his hand in the popcorn bucket she would grab his hand and push it out. When we ran out of popcorn she started to wail. Autumn and Madie shared their popcorn with her and she was content the whole movie, but quite possessive of her snacks!

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!)

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.
Avery making a hat out of a toy. This kept her and Aaron busy for quite awhile
