Avery's One Year Photos

We had Avery's One Year Photos taken in Columbia on July 2. We used the same photographer we used for her newborn photos. (http://www.artandsoulfoto.com/) The photographer, Lana, was amazed by how much Avery had grown and changed in a year.

Avery did a great job at her photo shoot. She wasn't too interested in family pictures because she wanted to run around and explore. Oh, well! We got a ton of great pictures of our sweet one year old!

Here are some of our favorites:

Just for fun...what a difference a year makes!

Pregnancy Update

Luke and I had our BIG ultrasound last week. We decided to go against the norm and let the sex of this baby remain a surprise until November. Everything on the ultrasound looked great. The baby is trending in the 52nd percentile for size. Of course, being a Musselman, we know that will probably drop before birth. I'm ok with it though. It makes the labor easier, right?

This pregnancy is much different than my pregnancy with Avery. I am showing a lot more with this baby. I guess everything was still a little stretched out! This time, every part of my body hurts. It's bad. With Avery, after the first trimester, I felt great until the last couple weeks. Hopefully things will get better. At least I have a hands-on daddy for a husband. He is a great help with Avery when he is in town.

Enjoy the latest picture of our little one.

Avery's First Birthday

Avery had a great first birthday. Avery celebrated at school with a birthday banner and birthday crown that the other kids made for her. At snack time, Luke and I brought a cake in to share with everyone at school. We then took her swimming, out to dinner and shopping. By the end of the day, Avery was beat! It was a great day for everyone!

On July first, Avery had her one year well child check. She is doing great! The doctors and nurses were impressed with her walking/running ability. Her stats are as follows: Height 27.25 (5%), Weight 19 lbs, 6 oz (10-25%), Head Circumference 47.24 cm (90-95%).
