Avery turns 1! Happy Birthday!

Our little Avery just turned one! I can't believe it, it went by so FAST!! I can still remember the day she came. She was such a fighter, she never gave up and kept her spirits high. It was a rough go with the delivery and it came with some sickness that you would have never known she had. She kept a smile on her face and an even bigger smile on everyone else. She has always had quite a personality, she knows what she wants and she knows what to do to get it, just like her dad! Avery has been such an amazing baby, easy you could say. From day one she has slept through the night, hardly cried and always made us smile and laugh. Its been amazing to see her grow and learn. At times you think you have caught up with her learning, but then she surprises us with something new. She has always been pretty independent. I never really taught the crawling or walking, she just decided on her own that she wanted to walk, she stood up and took a couple steps then next thing I knew she was trying to run before she was steady at walking. She is always keeping busy, finding new things to get into, keeping me on my toes. I have enjoyed every second I have had with Avery, watching her sleep, play, gag when she eats baby food, & so many smiles and little laughs. I love you Avery and I look forward to seeing you learn and grow to be a beautiful little lady, Just do it slow please!! Love you, love mommy
