Miss Avery is 13 Months old! I have been meaning to post some pictures from Avery's 1st birthday party! A big THANK YOU to our friend Robyn for providing the butterfly wings and tutu (which Avery loves to look at in the mirror whenever she is wearing them)! I am proud to say that I channelled my inner Food Network Star for the party and made the Kitty Cake pictured above..which Avery gladly destroyed! I can't find my "after" picture of the poor Kitty cake but it was pretty unrecognizable after she got her little paws on it! We had an official Sing-a-Long with Ed the Music Man (or Mr. Ed as I like to call him) that I think the kiddies really enjoyed! Next year maybe Mike will be even better on the guitar so he can provide the entertainment (provided all the little ones know the words to Pearl Jam songs). Aside from her birthday party, I wanted to let you know that Avery had a great 1st year check up. Avery is 17 lbs and 27 inches long. She is still small on those darn growth charts (2nd percentile in weight, 24th percentile in height, and 50th percentile in head size...although surprisingly doesn't look like a bobble-head doll despite those statistics). Developmentally, she is really becoming great at walking and has really been working on talking. She babbles a ton and is trying to copy alot of words after we say them. Next time you see her, you will have to ask her what a cow says! As usual, thanks for checking in and remember we love to read your comments!!! Love, Sandi x0x0
