One month away from 1!

Avery is 11 months old! Her 1st birthday party is already in the works!

Avery has really amazed us this past month! She is such a fast learner and we are so proud of her! This month Avery is still saying more words, this girl loves to talk! Here are all her words: Momma, Dada, Dog, Duck, Bye-bye, Hey, nana, no-no-no (and waves her little finger, I guess she got that from me!), ni-ni, please (all the time), mmm(when something tastes good), and wee. She gives kisses and says Muah, minus the ah! Avery throws her hands in the air when you ask her "how big is Avery?" So cute! She chats all the time and if we say a word that starts with a sound she can say, she will try to copy it! Look for her talking video in another blog!

Avery is very curious and points to things and says "ooo!" We have dance parties all the time, because this girl loves to dance, it's quite a sight to see Kyle, Avery, and I dance!

Our little lady "walked" last weekend. I guess you call it "taking steps", but she walked from one person to another. Crawling is her preferred method, but she is taking steps and standing alone, I know she's going to take off any day now! She still eats all table foods, but I have to be smart how I feed her! Always the meat first, then veggies, then the carb noodle/beans/rice, etc. If I feed it to her all at once she will choose only the noodles/beans, etc. Avery is a GREAT eater!
Taking steps!

Also, this month, Avery gained 2 new cousins! Identical twin girls; Ali and Zoe Diaz! These girls are going to have so much fun...I definitely see t-r-o-u-b-l-e coming in the near future!


Avery is still wearing a size 3 diaper and 12 month clothes. She can wear some 18 month outfits.
Avery's new favorite toy, Lotso!

We love you Avery Jane and can't wait to celebrate your 1st birthday next month. You amaze us daily and bring so much joy to our lives and everyone that surrounds you! Slow down August!

1st Visit to Disney!

Avery experienced Disney for the first time! Being a Morgan, there are many more trips to Orlando to come! Kyle's family LOVES to go to Disney!! Avery did great in the car, we did leave at 6:30pm and she did sleep most the way down there!

The first day we went to Magic Kingdom...the first ride we rode was It's a Small World and Avery absolutely loved it! The whole ride Avery bounced up and down, clapped her hands, and kept saying ball, ball, ball!! It was so much fun to see how excited she was! The next ride we went on was Peter Pan and then Winnie Pooh. After that, Avery was very hungry and tired. Nana strolled Avery around as she napped and Kyle and I got to ride a few rides. We had a great time at Magic Kingdom!!

Riding "It's A Small World"

Day 2 was a pool day! Avery was very stylish in her tutu bathing suit and Kyle and I played a Not so Newly Wed game at the pool! Bad news was we didn't win, good news...Avery still looked precious and loved swimming!!

Not so Newly Wed Game

Day 3- Kyle and I went to Animal Kingdom by ourselves, while Kyle's family babysat! It was so much fun and then we went shopping at the outlets. Once again, Avery napped the entire shopping trip and the outlets were fabulous!

We were going to leave the third night, but we decided to stay in the most comfortable bed ever one more time!! We left very early the next morning and once again Avery did great!

Avery started saying more words in Orlando: she is saying Please or pssss all the time now and Ni Ni (night night). She is also walking all over the place with her little push toy! She's amazing!

Say little prayer for us...I go back to work Thursday. I have had the BEST summer with my little lady and even though I know it will be harder on me then her, I am still so sad to return to work! Is it really almost August? On the bright side...the Twins will be here in less then two weeks!

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!

This Girl has Pearls!

That's right...I did it, I had Avery's ear pierced today at her 9 month appointment! I must say, during the appointment it was horrible and she was very mad at the nurse, but she is back to her happy self and never knew anything even happened!

9 Months- 19.4 lbs and 28 inches long


Look real close so you can see her new pearls!

Avery and her Many Games!

I had to create a post of Avery and her fun games! This girl thinks she is so funny and loves to be silly! She makes us and everyone around her laugh constantly. She is a character!

1. Avery loves to give "High Five"

Giving High Five to Cousin Hannah!

2. If you read the other posts, you saw Avery's new favorite word is Ball. She loves balls and throwing the ball to people!

3. Avery loves to make funny faces and when we laugh, she'll make it over and over!

4. Avery loves to play on the playground!

5. Avery loves to play with her "Musical Playground!"

Such a Silly Girl! And we love her little personality!

Happy 1st Father's Day!

Today was Kyle's first Father's Day and he deserves a day all about him (and so does my Dad and my Father-in-law, Ron)! ALL wonderful men and great Dads!



Kyle is truly a wonderful Dad and loves his girls very much. He loves to play with Avery, teach her new words and skills, feed her, and bath her. He spends a lot of time with her and she LOVES her Daddy! Avery lights up when she sees him and talks and talks to him! The only thing Kyle says he is not good at is....changing poopy diapers, the question is, is he not good at it or does he not want to do it? Ha! I think he does just fine! Kyle received a gift from me and from Avery! I bought him a game from Dick's that we can take to the beach, tailgate, etc. And, Avery got him cologne from Banana Republic, she even picked it out!


Happy Father's Day Kyle! We love you!

Naughty 9 Months

Happy 9 Months!

Sweet Avery is 9 Months old and she.is.a.mess! Avery is crawling and FAST, so there is hope for me yet to lose 10 more pounds! ;0) She is also pulling up on everything, which is scary because she tries to pull up on things that aren't very stable. She has found the stairs...not good. She loves unpacking and pulling out ALL her toys. One is just not enough! Is it bad we put her in the pack in play to play when we are cooking, etc? Isn't that what it's for? Just this past week Avery has starting cruising...she's not fast at that yet! Just practicing!

Taking her toys out!

Unpacking from the weekend!

So...not only is she a mover...she is a TALKER! Kyle loves to teach her new words, she is saying "Dada, Dog, Ball, Bye, Hey, oh (for uh-oh), and momma (only a few times). She waves when she says Hey and Bye. It's soooo cute! This past weekend we were at Five Guys with Kyle's family and every time someone walked in the door Avery would Wave and say "Hey." It was HILARIOUS!

Saying her Favorite word...BALL!

The Ball Avery threw a fit over at Dick's, soooo Momma bought it for her. I was one of those Moms and gave in!

Avery is wearing 12 month clothes and size 3 diaper. She eats so good and loves her food! Avery takes 2 naps a day which range from 1hour-2hours (it's wonderful) and she isn't giving me fits anymore, she goes right to sleep!

This summer has been so much fun! We play and play, go to the pool, music class, play dates, walks, shopping, and a few road trips here and there. In July Avery is going to meet her Great-grandparents in Florida and go on her first plane ride. We are also going to Disney with Kyle's parents. We are so excited! Have a fabulous Summer friends! Happy 9 Months Avery Jane, we love you very very much!
