stairs

We don't have stairs at our house but apparently Avery knows exactly how to get up them! She's only tried a couple of times before this and never made it past the first 2 steps... but she knows how to get to the top NOW...

at the park

Avery amazes me how brave she is... She had a fun picnic in the park with Gramma, Papa, cousin parker, aunt jenny and daddy! I met up after I got home and got to see Avery put herself down the slide! no fear! she loves it! check out the video;

Our little munchkin loves strawberries!

Shutterfly

As most of you know, I take a few pictures! Especially since Avery entered our lives. I use the company Shutterfly to upload all my pictures, create photobooks, cards etc! I love Shutterfly, its easy to use and they give out lots of freebies! But my favorite part is they have unlimited storage! For a picture hog (like me) this is CRUCIAL!

As Christmas is approaching I've been thinking of what our family Christmas card will look like this year. Last year our card was also Avery's birth announcment. Shutterfly has some adorable baby announcements which you can see by clicking HERE This year I'm hoping to get a good picture of the 3 of us. Shutterfly is making this very easy on me, they have some great options to choose from. Click HERE to see their Holiday card options. Also HERE to see the photo Christmas card options. I won't tell you which one we're using but one of my favorites is the Gifted Tag card, it looks like they've taken your picture and its just waiting to be unwrapped. I love the new designs and color schemes that Shutterfly has this year!

Christmas cards are special to me because I love seeing how people have changed over the past year, especially those that I don't get to see very often. I can't wait to see your Christmas card!

here she goes

We got it on camera this morning!! It wasn't just a fluke! here's our Avery walking;

: D

come on boots, start walking!!!

We have a toddler in the house!!! Avery has been walking today!!! Back and forth between chris and i to get a toy airplane!! :) After a few times she started trying to hand the airplane back to the other person so she could walk to it. Then she walked halfway across the kitchen to me! Its amazing to watch her teeter and catch herself, get stable then take a few more steps! She just started this today, finally getting the stability in her legs to keep going instead of falling down! Look out world, here comes Avery! We caught a good portion of her walking on the video camera but didn't realize that by recording it onto a DVD we can't copy it to the computer! :( As soon as we can, we'll record it to the hard drive and then I can post it for all to see! Way to go Ave!

hello??

learning how to use her phone!
