Lots of Firsts

Avery's first holiday season was marked with lots of firsts and fun!! Her "firsts" included her first bottle of formula, her first "acting" role, her first Christmas, her first word, her first snow, and her first New Years.

Avery's first experience with formula went relatively smoothly.  Actually, it went a whole lot smoother than expected. It was more difficult on momma than anyone else in the family.  But Avery is happily enjoying Gerber Goodstart formula in addition to momma's milk. 

Avery's first "acting" role was playing baby Jesus at John's church for the Christmas program.  Though she is a girl and bigger than a newborn, she did a great job! No crying or meltdowns. And yes, John and I played Mary and Joseph.  Minus the blonde hair and french manicure, we were a very convincing biblical family.



Avery's First Christmas was full of fun and toys!! She LOVES her horsey and red wagon as evident by the huge smile on her face!









Avery's first word occurred on December 26, 2012, a belated Christmas present for "dada."  John was beaming from ear to ear after hearing Avery call him.  Her little voice absolutely melted our hearts!!



Another first was Avery's first experience with snow.  I had secretly prayed for a white Christmas, but I never imagined that we would get a foot in some places. It was absolutely amazing!!! The snow started on Christmas Day and continued for another day.  We took Avery outside to enjoy her first snow on December 26th.  Like her mother, Avery does not enjoy cold weather; hence, she did not like the snow very much.




Avery also celebrated her first New Years-although, she did not stay up until midnight to officially ring in the new year-THANKFULLY!!!!
