WoW! It's been way to long!

I didn't realize its been so long....where does the time go. Alot has happened since Avery's Baptismal...I don't even know where to begin. On December 27th Avery turned 10 months....she is now a walking machine!!! She started taking her first steps around Thanksgiving and hasn't stopped since. Her first Thanksgiving was awesome! other than her taking steps we were experimenting with food! She loves food, there isn't much she doesn't like. We spent most of the holidays socializing, shopping and spending time with friends and family...which are all of Avery's favorite things to do! We are truly blessed with Avery (our little freak of nature) she just goes with the flow, really laid back and such a party girl! She is talking more and more everyday, trying to say new things (no, no, no while waving her finger is one of her favorites!). Christmas was amazing...she had such a great time playing with her cousins and opening gifts. Avery wasn't to fond of Santa this year, we had about 4 attempts for pictures and they didn't go as planned. Brad dressed up as Santa and came to visit the kids (can I say...Hilarious!, but what a sport). My parents (Ita and Ito) went WAY over board! I will have to post a picture of the tree and gifts...the gifts covered over half of the room, it took us 2 days to open and over 4 trips to load the car!!! My folks got her her first car...its a motorized pink bug that can also be set on a remote control. So for now shes a little to small to drive it herself, but daddy has fun with the remote. Avery just LOVES it...she just sits back and rides, its too CUTE! Other favorites...a Radio Flyer wagon from her Noni and Pop, we went to the zoo this past week and she loved it and a pony from her Uncle, Nana, Meme and Chuck. I am still working on sorting thru all of the pics,but we will get them posted. oh!!! and how could i forget we got our 9 month pictures done and they are just FABULOUS!!! Here is a preview......
