Avery is 11 Months Old!

Whoa...a post on time!?!? I can hardly believe it myself! Miss Avery is 11 months old today!!! I can hardly believe that one either! Originally, I had planned on posting a little collage of Avery in her halloween costume and a little video of her walking but Avery pulled out a new trick today that is funny stuff! Avery and I had just come home from food shopping (which takes twice as long when you have a baby with you for MANY reasons). Anywho, Avery was in her highchair eating and Mike and I were bustling around the kitchen putting groceries away and getting dinner together. I happened to notice Avery eating her dinner and practicing trying to blink only one eye...which usually ended in squishy face. Mike has never taught her how to wink and neither have I, so the only thing I can come up with is that someone at the grocery store caught her attention with it and she was testing it out. Whatever the case, "the wink" was born and thought you may like a peek! Thanks again for checking in on us! Love, Sandi

Avery is 10 Months Old!

Avery is 10 months old (well actually 6 days away from being 11 months old) and we FINALLY moved into our new house! The move still has us living in a sea of boxes but the good news is I unpacked my camera last night so I can finally post Avery's 10 month update! Avery is adjusting well to her new room...a little shaky the first week but sleeping much better now. Developmentally, she is still saying "hi" all the time and now says "DaDa" which makes Mike happy (and me a little jealous)!! At the start of her 10th month, Avery started to walk along the furniture, then she started walking throughout the room pushing a little baby walker, and in the past few days has become brave enough to take a few steps without holding onto anything! Let the babyproofing begin!! For those of you wondering, we accepted an offer on our townhouse and are supposed to close on it next week so it's nice to not be worrying about that anymore! Now that I have found my camera and we have finally moved, I will do my darndest to actually start posting more. I want to post a picture of Avery in her Halloween costume and also put a video of her walking so stay tuned!!! Love, Sandi
