Avery has been "talking" most of the day today! I will have to get a recording of it soon to put up online. It seems like with each new day she can make new sounds and learns more of the art of conversation. :)
She also stood up today and was able to keep standing by leaning against my leg but not holding on to anything!
She now has a slight bump on her bottom gum where it looks like a tooth will be making its appearance any day now, we will keep you all updated on that as well as other new Avery items. Hope these last few posts has caught everyone up on what Avery has been up to the last month or so!
Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Her 9 month stats- 14 pounds 15 ounces and 26.75 inches! We had to go early for this visit but she proves to still be staying right on her growth curve! She is now up to 3 meals a day of solid foods which should help us pack on a few more ounces before we head over to Africa!

Fun times with Dad
It is so neat to see Avery's personality coming out more and more. It is a joy to she how she lights up with Taylor walks in the room. She loves her Daddy and even loves to chew on his toes! The picture of Avery in the nude is during a clean up of an explosion on a recent trip. Funny how each time there is a major accident Taylor happens to be with us and is very helpful :)
Happy Birthday Daddy!
We celebrated Taylor's big day with, of course, a trip to best buy, a fun lunch with big girl Avery sitting in a high chair, and time outside enjoying this great weather!
We made it to the Carolinas!
On the second day of driving we pushed through and made it to Rock Hill late in the evening and got a hotel room instead of bothering the neighbors for a key to our temporary home. The next morning we all awoke more relaxed than we had been in a long while and had a relaxing morning of enjoying Avery!
Have to say it again...
Avery has been a trooper! We have felt your prayers over the last weeks. Avery handled the packing, moving, selling, and many hours in her car seat like a champ! Here are a few pics of the transition time some call, September. :) We were even able to remember to take a family picture of us leaving our duplex. Oh, and take another look at Avery learning how to master the sippy cup!
New textures
We have enjoyed watching Avery learn to be okay with stepping or sitting on grass, concrete, and really anything else besides carpet or wood :) Here is a picture of her tolerating yet another photo op of a new experience for her.
So, what is new with Avery...
Well, she loves to pull her toys out of the toy basket, loves to talk on her cell phone, loves cups, loved her play area we made with the footlockers we were packing in at our duplex, loves mirrors, loves to pull herself up and cruise along any and all surfaces, and for a while she loved to stick out her tongue :)
to be a Martyn she has to wear animal print, right?
Here is our Avery bug wearing some cute pj's giving to her by the Wilson's.
Time to play catch up...
I am so very grateful to have a laptop again! Now it is time to catch everyone up on the last few months with some pictures and video of our cutie! She is still not lacking in the love department. It is such a joy to watch her learn new skills everyday. She is quickly becoming more mobile and is starting to let us know her feelings about things.
