All About Avery: 13 Months Old

Avery was 13 months on May 29, but we have been so busy that I'm a little behind. In her 13th month, Avery got much better at walking. She will still result to crawling when in a hurry but her balance is very good now so that she can walk across the room....if she wants to!

She is also quite the little talker. Her vocabulary is probably around 20 words right now and she also tries to repeat the sounds she hears. She says "Hi!" to everyone including strangers. Especially strangers. She constantly babbles and makes me wish I knew what she was saying because it seems to be pretty important.

Avery is still eating like a champ. Blueberries, mandarin oranges and pancakes are still favorites as well as goldfish, breads, sausage, Italian and anything from mom or dad's plate. She doesn't care for broccoli (possibly a texture thing) and cantaloupe isn't well received either.

I am incredibly happy to report that Avery started sleeping through the night when she turned a year old. WHO-HOOOOO!!! This is such a relief. She still wakes occasionally but overall it has been much better. Also Avery is usually cooperative for naps and bedtime.

Avery's Aunt Sarah is staying with us this summer much to Avery's enjoyment. Sarah must have entered Avery's inner circle based on the crying display when Sarah left the house yesterday. Perhaps it is because Sarah is pretty gullible especially when it comes to Avery finding someone to chase her.
