Avery turns one!

It is hard to believe that our little Missy moo is turning one already! She is such a silly girl these days loving to laugh and play. She still has yet to walk but is crawling all over the place and pulling up onto things. She has a cute little mouthful of teeth unlike her older brother at this age and is starting to try to say all sorts of things. I love when all my babies turn one because of the "eating of the cupcake" it is my favorite part of course. When Hunter turned one he instantly picked it up and started shoving it into his mouth as fast as he could. Avery was cracking us up. She poked at her cupcake for awhile and then finally started to slowly take a bite here and there stopping to smile at us now and again. However once she got a really good taste of the frosting she was hooked and soon it was all over her face. I love this picture of her sitting with her little toes all pointed, can we say future dancer :) At one point she decided to lay down on her belly and just put her face in it which was hilarious. She was also surprisingly willing to offer some to me when I asked her "Can you share with mommy? Can mommy have a bite?" She in fact offered me practically the whole thing :)
It was a fun birthday and it has been neat to reflect back on her first year and smile and the sweet moments that we have had with her. We feel so grateful for the blessing of her and the opportunity that we have to get to be her parents she is so special to us. She is such a silly, sweet little girl who brings us so much joy. We love you so much Missy moo and hope that you enjoyed your cupcake. Happy Birthday Ave. Love Mommy and Daddy.
