1 year old!

Avery turned one last Friday.  I can't believe it has been a year already.
What a crazy year it has been!   
 I took her to the Dr. on her birthday (mean I know), and she now weights 16 lbs 1.5 oz and is 26 1/4 inches tall.  She is still small for her age and a little behind with some things, but she has had a tough year... so we won't hold it against her! Despite everything she has been through, she is doing great. We couldn't ask for a happier little girl. Seriously, she is awesome! We love her so much and are happy and grateful to have her in our lives.  She has taught us so much in such a short time.

She was a little sick that day, but perked up just in time!
(we all have a bit of a cold right now)

She got a little set of 3 cute little books... 

 She even started to get into the unwrapping a little.

...and she got a fun Walk and Ride toy to help her learn to walk,
she just wanted to ride.
 

The adults cake...
 
...and Avery's cake!

The memory ran out on the cell phone video before the
supposed cake bash, it didn't turn out to be much of a bash... 
You want me to do what?!

I'm not sure about this, it is kind of gross.
 Ok, maybe it's not so bad...
We hope you had a happy birthday Avery,
we hope you had as much fun as we did!
