Avery turns 1 on November 8th!

Today we had a big family celebration for Avery's 1st birthday. It was a fun day with Grandma, Granddad, Yen-Yen, Yea-Yea, Aunt Taryn, Aunt Heather, Uncle Will, cousin Wills and our neighbors Keith & Julie. Avery received some very special presents and enjoyed playing with them immediately. She is a big girl now -- she's been walking for 2 months and can almost run after Cambria when they are playing chase; she points to everything; she loves to dance to music; she can mimick tunes we sing (she seems to have received the musical gene); she says mama, dada, yaya (Cambria), bapa (backpack -- from Dora), map (also Dora), ank ou (thank you); she's throwing her first toddler fits; she no longer eats any baby food, but she is already picky about eating -- especially veggies (which she used to love in jar form). We love Avery very much and can't imagine our lives without her.

Tune in for more blog info -- the girls' baptism is tomorrow!
