Only 4 more days until Avery turns a year old! Wow! Time has flown by so very fast!! I just went back in my blog to see what was happening this time a year ago... Boy, was I uncomfortable! I was trying everything to get Avery motivated to arrive, lol! It's funny how you forget the more uncomfortable and not so fun things when you look back. Even when I look forward... I want to have another baby, but I only remember good things about my pregnancy with Avery: hearing her heartbeat, finding out we were having a girl, cute clothes for her and me, baby showers, food, a cute belly, and eventually a beautiful baby girl. :) The negative stuff just didn't seem to stick in my mind. :P Good thing I was a compulsive blogger when I was pregnant! I can look back and remember, oh yeah, there were not-so-fun parts... Maybe I'm not in such a big hurry to relive all that. ;)
In the last year, I have given birth to a beautiful 7 pound, 6 ounce, 20 inch long baby girl! I have held her in my arms and taken countless pictures of her! We have brought a daughter into our home and made our family more complete than we ever thought possible. We have taken her to church where our friends have oooed and awwed over her every week as they watch her grow. She's gone to the doctor and grown. She's healthy and happy. She has 2 furry and 1 human best friends that she plays with constantly. In the last year she's learned to hold her head up, to roll over, to bat at and grab toys, to hold her bottle, to get up on all 4s and crawl, to feed herself, to stand, to babble, to swim, to crawl on top of things, to walk, to say Mama, Dada, and Dog, and to do so much more. She's incredible! She's so smart! She's so happy! We are BLESSED to have her! :)
I can't believe it's been almost a year since she was born. Time has gone by so fast. And yet, it's hard to remember what life was like without Avery in it. She's been with us for such a short time, but it almost seems like life really began when she arrived. :) I love that little girl so very much! Can't wait to celebrate the first year of her life on Saturday and Sunday. :)
Ok, I suppose that's enough nostalgia for one post. ;) Hope you all have a wonderful Tuesday. :)
