First Steps
Avery took her first 6 continuous steps on her own this weekend at Princess Jovie and Princess Nora's 4th birthday party (3/24). I'm not sure if she was so excited about the Princess themed party or trying to chase her favorite dog Reamy.

Finally Friday
This was a crazy busy week (I'll spare you from the details)!
It started with Avery coming home from the sitter's on Monday with the absolute worst diaper rash ever. Avery doesn't get diaper rash unless she has a tooth coming in (her second bottom tooth was pushing through). Josh and I ended up staying home and tending to our little one all night. She ran around naked all evening (peeing everywhere) to help dry out the rash and help with the irritation. The next morning it was much better and we have had no flare ups since....shew!
Tonight we ended our busy work week. Josh is again working out of town. Avery and I lhad ran errands and played all day with only 2 very short naps. Typical evenings finish with Avery and I laying on the floor giggling at one another. She has the sweetest laugh. During the day the laugh has a hissing sound to accompany the laugh. In the evenings you get the tired giggle. This giggle is my favorite and some day I will get it recorded to share with all of you. As I lay in bed tonight I am thankful that I have a happy, healthy and almost 1 year old upstairs sleeping peacefully.

Girls Weekend!
Josh has been working out of town a lot on the weekends so Avery and I have quality girl time. This weekend we emjoyed the outdoors, shopped, played, cleanedand visit with family. So as i sit here and Avery just laid down for bed I'm exhausted and ready for Josh to be home.
The 3 sweetest moments of the weekend included Aunt Nicki and Avery communicating by rolling their tongues. This is one of Avey's new tricks she does it when excited or extremely mad. Avery and Nana reading on the floor today I have posted a video. It was a really sweet moment. We also went up to Norton's to drop some stuff off at the flower shop and the Mowrey's had just arrived home so we visited with them for a while and Avery fell in love with their yellow lab Reamy. Everytime she seems him she has the longest conversations and she can't take her eyes off him. I think at this point I would deal with his shedding if Jenny would trade me for Sissy and Lola.
Another great weekend for the books, but I am ready to see my hubby!

DST & Beautiful Weather
Well, this week we Sprung forward and I absolutely love DST. This gives me more sunshine at the end of the day and that means we can play outside a little bit longer every evening.
The weather has been absolutely and unseasonable warm this week and we have been taking full advantage. Walks on the trail with friends, Willard porch, walks in the wagon and sitting on my parents porch. Avery is mesmerized by everything outdoors the people she sees on our walks, the cars that pass and all the things to pick up and put her in mouth.
I can't wait to enjoy more spring and summer days with family and friends!

Las Vegas
Josh and I unexpectedly got a call last Monday morning asking if we would like to go on all expense paid trip to Vegas this weekend..........of course! We shuffled our schedules and decided we could go and I would survive without Avery for a few days.
Mom & Dad, Kyle & Kelsey took care of our little Avery so we were able to go to Vegas for the weekend. It was a welcomed break from the busy couple months we had been having. The decision to leave Avery for almost 4 full days didn't come without tears. I had at least 3 crying fits before we left and only one while we were gone. Luckily you can stay pretty busy in Vegas so the days flew by and it was a fabulous trip. Josh and I even experienced our first Nascar race and meet Jeff Gordon!!!
We came home to a happy, healthy and 1 toothed baby. Yep that's right, a tooth finally popped through while we were gone! She also can walk pretty good by only holding on with one hand. Our little girl is growing up so fast and soon will be one!
Josh and I are so lucky to have wonderful families that are willing to help watch Avery whenever possible.

Spring is in the air.....
I love spring! It means we start planting flowers and vegetables in the greenhouse, gardening is around the corner, planting season and of course warmer weather. So we have taken advantage of the great weather and gone for a couple walks so far this Spring. Avery has been doing excellent and enjoys the outdoors, but about 45 minutes into our walks Avery usually tuckers out and takes a nap.
