She's 1!

11 Months

Holy personality! She is getting to be so much fun, and maybe a little sassy...

-has 3 teeth now, two on the bottom, one on the top
-likes to blow raspberries
-has perfected a fake laugh
-still an awesome sleeper, 730pm-7am
-we've started doing sign language again and she is picking it up pretty fast, she knows 'light', 'all done', 'puppies', 'milk'
-she took her first steps! And Michael and I were both home and watching when she did it
-loves to chase her puppies around
-loves going for walks
-does NOT like grass
-loves cheese, avocados, yogurt, grapes, blueberries, spaghetti/pasta
-still doesn't have much hair

It's crazy to think that I'll soon have a one year old- I have been procrastinating on planning her party because I'm not ready for her to get big. We are looking forward to the summer, though, it will be lots of fun now that she's walking!

Ten Months

I can't believe it's already time to start planning Avery's first birthday- it's exciting and sad at the same time. Here's what our cute girl is up to this month:
-size 6-9 month clothes
-size 3 diapers
-claps her hands when you say 'yay'
-likes to explore the cupboards
-stands on her own but it too chicken to take a step, plus she can crawl crazy fast, so why walk?
-she'll fake laugh just so other people will laugh too
-loves bath time
-dances when we turn music on
-hates it when things are stacked up, she stops what she's doing and will come over and knock anything down we've stacked up
-looks for her puppies in the mornings
-could eat her weight in avocados
-puts her face in the bath water
-smiles at everyone
-takes two naps a day and sleeps from about 8pm-8am
-loves pulling all the books off her shelf about a million times a day
-thinks its hilarious when I lift her above my head and spin around

And of course, pictures!

Nine Months

Oh, little bug- you are getting so big! It is so fun to see your personality coming through, you are such a funny girl! Some things that I want to remember about you:
-you are in size 3 diapers
-size 6-9 month clothes, although most of the 9 month clothes are a little big
-you have two teeth! They are the bottom teeth and are so cute (and sharp!)
-you hate it when the dogs bombard you, you've learned to start flapping your arms at them so they'll stay away from your face
-you can crawl so fast! It's cute to hear your little hands slapping down the hallway
-you are pulling yourself on the couch, in your crib, on the kitchen cabinets, in the bath tub...
-whenever I tell you 'no' you let out an indignant 'uh', you even do it if you hear me tell one of the dogs 'no'
-you like to play a game where we take turns yelling
-you are enthralled with our phones- maybe you'll get one for your birthday :)
-you are making the noises that resemble 'dada' and 'mama' but you haven't put two and two together yet- your dad is hoping he's first
-you are BUSY
-and a huge flirt, you love to stare at people
Happy nine months, sugar bean, we love you so much!!

Boots with the fur

I found these boots at old navy months ago and thought they'd fit Avery just fine since they were size 3-6 months. Yeah, they just now fit her- but how cute are they?!

Day at the park!

We are enjoying this weather! We did a little shopping today and then stopped by the park to get some swinging in- Avery loves it!

Sicko

I won't lie- Avery is an awesome sleeper- we know this. We also know that we are extremely lucky that we have a baby that sleeps. Michael and I are- how do I say this- well, we're big buttfaces when we get woken up in the middle of the night or when we're tired so I always say Avery knows its best if she just stays asleep. :) Well, this Monday night we got a taste of the other side, the 'my kid doesn't sleep side'. It was terrible, I cried (no lie), I don't want to go back there again. :) Avery went down like normal about 7 but woke up crying about 930, she hung out with us for a bit and then threw up all over the fresh-from-the-dryer comforter. Awesome, but no biggie, she was fine once she threw up. Except that she didn't go back to sleep after that. Nope, she was up all. night. long. She would fall asleep if I was holding her but would wake up and cry the second I put her down. It was a long night- I stayed home from work Tuesday. She had a little bit of a fever so she took two baths and we both took two naps. She seemed fine that day but the next night was pretty rough, too. Michael took her to the doctor Wednesday and the poor babe has an ear infection. :( She is on antibiotics now and is sleeping much better! These pics I took during one of her baths- real sick, right?! Isn't that tooth so cute!

Teeth!

So as I said, Avery's first tooth came in on January 17th- the bottom left front tooth- it is so cute! I loved her gummy little smile but the little tooth is too cute. Well a few days later I noticed that the bottom right tooth is coming in too! It came in on the 21st. She is getting so big. However- fat chance of getting a picture while she's awake so after she fell asleep the other night I got these:
