No more cake

Sorry it took a few days, but here are some pictures from Avery's birthday party. We ended up getting the cake from a local grocery store, but it came out pretty cute. :) Plus, her birthday dress ended up being too big, so she wore one of her other gymboree butterfly outfits, but overall, the party was a blast!

Oh, and the picture of the table... We did gerber daisies and butterflies. In fact, in the basket you'll see flowers? Those are silverware rolls with gerber daisies and ribbon tying them up. Took me forever to do , but I loved how they came out.

Happy 1st birthday, Avery!

Oh, My!! Avery is one year old today... ((sigh)) my baby is not so much of a baby anymore.

Since I didn't keep a blog last year, here's a picture of her in the hospital.

She was:
7lb 8oz
born at 6:48pm
20 1/2 inches long

She was born after several days of back labor, but only several hours in the hospital. I was in a beautiful, epidural induced haze, and was pleased to finally have her with me.

Had a great birthday party.

Well, yesterday was Avery's 1st birthday party, even though her birthday isn't actually until Wednesday. The weather was beautiful, and everything went well. Well, except for Avery. She was exhausted from the get-go, even though she had her nap before hand. I think she's not feeling well, or is teething or something. Anyway, she saw lots of family and friends, and received many nice gifts.

I don't have any pictures to post yet, since my camera is broken and I'm waiting on the pictures from both grandfathers. So, grandfathers, send me some pictures to post, lol!

Hope all of Avery's friends have as great of a birthday party as she did!

1st birthday pictures today!

Well, it's been a while. Avery has been keeping us busy, and between that and house shopping, things have been crazy.

Anyway, 1 more week until her birthday party, and we took her in for her birthday pictures today. She ran around in circles in the waiting area for 45 minutes, then continued to run ALL DAY LONG. We got some really cute pictures, and well, can I say? Not only do I have ONE CUTE BABY, she also REALLY likes cake, lol!

So, here are some of the best pictures from today!

Our little Dandelion

Well, I got my camera outside with us this weekend. It's gorgeous out, and Avery blended right in. I think all the pollen is bothering her allergies, though, so we made the trip outside a little short. So, here's Avery, our little dandelion, growing like a weed.

Spring is here!

Well, spring is really here in Ohio, and Avery is LOVING playing outside. However, she does NOT seem to like the swings, the slide, or other playground equipment. She tends to prefer just chasing the big girls around the playground. I was too busy chasing her to have the camera with me at the park, but here are some new pics from earlier in the day. Maybe next time I'll get more with her outside.

Easter Pics!

We had a great Easter around here. Grandma came over and we had a great time! Here are some pics of Avery's Easter, as well as a little video of her playing her favorite game with Daddy!

It's called, Chase Daddy around the kitchen!
