She's awalkin'! Yup, that's right. Avery decided the perfect day to take her first unassisted steps was on her 13th month birthday! I was near tears with excitement when my parents (who watch Avery on Mondays and Thursdays) showed me what she learned with them that day. My little girl is growing up and I'm loving every moment of it! (Actually, I could do without her ants-in-your-pants dance moves while I'm changing her diaper. Clean and quick diaper changes are more of a rarity than I would like these days.)
Here's a rundown of a few other exciting things that have happened since her first birthday...
A trip to Palm Springs with Jeff's parents, sister and her husband. It was a fun (and hot!) getaway for all of us and I am proud to say that Avery was phenomenal the entire trip. Sleeping in a new place, eating out at restaurants and meeting new people didn't faze her in the least. She was the perfect angel who is proving to be easy-going and very social. See Exhibits A & B below, which were taken during dinner one night on our vacation:
Next up on the calendar of events was daddy and daughter weekend while I enjoyed some girlfriend time...so, back to Palm Springs I trekked with some of my favorite ladies! Jeff did an outstanding job with Avery and even had a sleep over at the Goad's place with Garrett and Quinn since mommy Amanda was with me. How I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall during that baby adventure! I wish I had a picture to share, but watching little ones doesn't leave much time for a camera sesh, says the husband.
On to the Pumpkin Patch! The Simpson family loves them some pumpkins!

And finally, some playground time on a lazy Sunday afternoon...in a tutu, of course.
FPT!

| Hey, mom...why don't you put down the camera and hand me the wrench? |
