9 MONTHS

       Dear time, please slow down.  In 3 short months, Avery will be 1.  It is so hard to believe that it is right around the corner.   Avery is growing up so fast, and we are trying to absorb it all before she is no longer a baby.   Avery brings so much joy and love into our lives.  We are extremely blessed to be her parents and embark on this amazing journey of parenthood with a beautiful, healthy and happy little girl.  Mommy and daddy love you so much, Avery!
Avery at 9 months:

-Avery is on the go.  She has mastered crawling and is into everything.
-She has started to pull up on furniture and especially her crib.  She loves to stand and can take a few steps while holding our hand.  Not strong enough to push per wagon or walker yet!

-She really enjoys the Fisher Price Little People right now.
