Nine Months and Counting

I can't believe Avery is almost a year old. It seems like such a short time ago that a few of my favorite people and I were sharing the "joys" of pregnancy and now there are all these adorable little ones crawling around. Avery is definitely getting more and more fun (interactive) all the time. She has so many new tricks. In the past little while she has learned to do pat-a-cake, peek-a-boo and is mastering a few words in sign language. She signs please, more, and all done, all with her own little twist. She has also started saying a few words like dada, mama, caden (dayda), bye bye, uh oh (uh uh), and our favorite no no no. She continues to crawl and is cruising along things very well. During our visit to Grandma's she mastered the stairs, up and down. We had a little scare with her weight this past month. According to our scale she didn't gain any weight for 2 months but at her weight check she had added almost a pound. That put her just out of the danger zone, so we will keep watching but for now the doctor just says "someone has to be small." At her 9 month visit she tipped the scales at 15lb 11oz. We love every little ounce of her and adore each new thing she does. She adds so much to our little family and we can't imagine life without her.

She is so cute!!! I can't believe she is talking so much already.(but of course she is a Robbins, so she is going to speak sentences soon). I wish I could see her. It's hard to believe that just a short time ago I was holding her in the hospital. Miss you guys!

I can't believe she's already nine months. Her weight thing sounds like Ellie. It was also when she was nine months that she didn't show any weight gain from her previous doctor appt. Now she's having no problem in the weight area!

Look at that little bean. I was just going through some old pictures today and saw some of Kamrie around 1-yr-old...it's crazy to think that Avery is already that age (and Ammon, too). Time flies! It was fun reading about your holiday adventures...and I made John watch Kamrie's ballet recital :). He smiled!

Woah. What do you get when you cross Caden with Kamrie? Avery! She is such a mix of both of them. I can't believe how time flies. We miss you guys! Hopefully we'll see you soon!
