January 2008 Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! We are excited to announce that Avery will be a big sister in July/August. It was a complete surprise. Avery is doing well. Her birthday is coming up on February 5th and we can't believe a year has gone by already. She is such a big girl now. She drinks only from her sippy cup (no more bottles) and loves her grown up food. She has conversations with everyone. Unfortunately, we have no idea what she is saying, but it sounds serious. She does say a few words we can understand. However, she is determined not to walk, unless there is proper stable support. I believe for her birthday she asked for a helmet and knee pads. Ahh my cautious little girl. The next baby will probably be jumping off the roof.

Sporting her new outfit from xmas.


















Taking a nap before church. It was nice of Tank to share the couch with her.














Now this is a rare sight. The cats are not too fond of Avery and her big mouth.











Avery was determined to get into a room that was blocked (on purpose) by her wagon. Unfortunately, she got stuck. Her mommy saved her, but only after running to get the camera for a quick picture.














Her new pjs from Aunt Jenny. Her daddy thinks she looks to grown up in them.



































Her is Avery's new sister/brother. Avery is hoping for a boy. At least that's what I heard her say to the dog. Something about not wanting to share any of her clothes or toys with a sister.
