Pulling Up

Avery is just dying to walk, and pulling up is the next best thing, so that's what she does ALL the time! 

Here are a few action shots - 




When she's ready to get out of bed, she lets me know by standing up... 


So we got her this activity bench at a garage sale for $5. (We love bargains!) It's the best $5 we've ever spent! She loves standing up and playing on it all the time. And it's a Leap Frog so it has all kinds of cool music, counting and ABCs. And you can even change the language to Spanish if you want. Perhaps she'll be bilingual?? :)

Also, please note her sweet Cowboys slippers.

Avery 13 Months

So I decided I wasn't going to do "monthly" posts after she turned a year. I wouldn't have monthly pictures to show anymore, and I thought I'd just write when something cool happens. Well then I got the urge to blog on Oct. 7 - right when she turned 13 months. I guess I had conditioned myself? But then I haven't had a chance to actually write until now...

So here's her 13 month update - 

She still weighs right under 20 lbs. She now has two teeth on the bottom and two more that are trying to come through on top. 

She's not walking yet, but loves pulling up. That's almost all she does all day. 

I think I have a picky eater on my hands. I feel bad because I always feed her the same stuff, but it's all she'll eat! I even got some recipes for baby finger food and spent all this time making them and she wouldn't eat a bite. The only things I can count on her to eat are avocado, peaches, and yogurt melts. Then of course she loves the Gerber puffs and crunchies, which I'm sure she'd be fine with me feeding her all the time but I am trying to limit it.

She has also picked up some bad habits while eating. She likes to get her hands super messy and rub them all over her hair. Luckily she doesn't have much hair so it is sort of easy to wipe out.

She also thinks it is super funny to drop things, and the more sternly I tell her "no," the more she laughs. I have started ignoring her and that seems to be working better.


While we were in Wichita Falls, she went to her first wedding. My cousin, Keyton, got married. She actually did great during the ceremony, and it helped that it was super short. Here is a picture of her and my parents before the wedding -


She also had the time of her life hanging out with her BFF, Willie. 


Also during the trip we went to my cousin, Lindsay's, baby shower. Avery was napping when I left to go so she didn't join in that event. 


Here are a few more pictures of her lately. This is us before we went shopping one afternoon-


This is her eating at Gloria's with my mom and me -
