Avery 9 month update

We have a crawler!


Current Avery Stats:
She was officially 9 months on January 16
As you can see, she's crawling! But just in spurts :) Time for the outlet plugs...
Based off my attempts to weigh and measure her, she's about 19# and 28"
She's a great eater!
Loves kiwi, banana, avocado, cheese, cottage cheese, mom's oatmeal, toast, crackers, pasta, quinoa and anything we are eating
Getting better at picking up food with thumb and index finger and getting into her mouth
She likes to babble, sing, scream, wiggle and clap
She says, "Hi," "Da Da," "Bah Bah" (Momma??) and waves "Hello" and "Bye Bye"

It's so much fun!

Arizona

Weddings are fun but they are even more fun when they are in Arizona in the winter.  It wasn't typical Arizona weather but it was still better than 20 degrees and ice. 


Avery is an excellent traveler.  In nine months she's been on six different flights.  
We rented a car and picked up Jay and Viv and Aunt and Uncle Shon and Teresa.  They were excited to see Avery...then Katie...then me. In that order.
We stayed at a great resort hotel.  Big pool, nice rooms and a good restaurant.  Friday, Jay and I got the opportunity to golf on the #1 course in Arizona (#32 in the states).  It was a great time and I won't forget it i'm sure.

The rehearsal was at an old southwestern style barn.  There was BBQ for dinner and line dancing to top it off.

Can you spot the coyote? 




 "I'm done with what you are feeding me" face. 
Avery is a great follower on the dance floor.  I'd say better than her mom.  She didn't step on my feet once!
