Ten Months- Really?

10 Months Old!



In two short months our little baby girl will be one year old! I have already begun to plan her party! Every summer I am ready to go back to work, but this year it's just not the case. I'm so sad, because I have LOVED every minute being home with Miss Avery Jane this summer. She has truly become Momma's girl!



We've had a lot of fun this past month; we went to the pool, the lake for the fourth, went to music class, play dates, and visited my grandparents and we know how lucky we are that Avery got a chance to meet her Great-grandparents. It was a real treat for them! We had a lot of fun and Avery did great on her first plane ride. However, for all you moms out there, it is NOT a myth, when the plane takes off and lands make sure your baby is sucking something! We had Avery's paci and she did great on the way to Florida and even did fine on take-off back to Atlanta, but when we landed she was not sucking her paci and began to cry, okay Scream and cry. It broke our hearts, her ears were popping. Overall, she loved to people watch and ginger cookies on the plane!

July 4th!

Visiting family in Florida!

Great-Grandma, Great-Grandpa, and Avery

Avery continues to amaze us and it is truly a blessing to watch a baby grow and learn! We love her more then words can say and tell her daily, well...several times a day!

Here is what she is up to:

Avery is still wearing 12 months and some 18 month clothes. She is still very long! She is now eating all table food and she loves everything!! We are so glad we don't have a picky eater. Oh and has even tried sand, dirt, and dog food this month too! Don't worry she never has a chance to swallow it! ;0)



She still sleeps well and even though we were down to 2 naps a day, lately she has been taking one more cat nap in late afternoon/early evening. I think the heat is wearing her out!

Boy does this girl talk and talk. My grandparents couldn't believe how much she talked. Avery's words are: Momma (all the time now :0)), Dada, Dog, Cat, Ball, Wee, Oh, Bye, Hey, Nana, and Peas or PS (Please, we just started this one!). Avery is our little Miss America and waves to everyone everywhere we go and says "Hey." She loves to give high five, throw her hands in the air when you ask"how big is Avery", give a kiss, and throw a ball back and forth to us! Lately, Avery has developed a crush on Elmo and loves playing with her Elmo's!


Giving a Kiss! So sweet!!(this is a good one, usually her mouth is wide open!)

We all have bets going on when she will walk. I say 11 1/2 months, Kyle says before 11 months, and my mom says 11 months. Avery is cruising, pulling up on everything, and stands alone for several seconds. We think she will take off any day now! Trouble, Trouble!

We love our little 10 month old!! Say a prayer for me when I go back to work in just a couple of weeks! Boo!! Look for my next blog about...................Disney! We are going with Kyle's family next week. I know she's a little young, but we think she will love it!
