About 9 days ago, my tiny baby Avery turned 1. Well, she's not so tiny anymore, but it seems like yesterday I had to support her head and wake up 3 times a night to feed her. Now she's walking, sleeping through the night (thank God), eating big kid food, and saying words. She's curious, smart, sweet and so SO beautiful.
Of course this year had a lot of firsts: First vacation, first overnight with Nana and Papa, first steps, first words, first teeth...So many fantastic memories. Your first birthday party was a beach party at our house in land-locked Indiana. It was fantastic! So many people came to see you!
Some days are hard...I get frustrated because I don't get to live by my own agenda anymore. But when I look at my sweet Sugar Bean, and she makes her silly faces at me, I can't imagine it any other way. I can't wait to see what the next year holds for you. Even though I'm not super happy that you're growing up already. Happy birthday Goob.
Love, Mommy
