11 Months!

It is hard to believe that my baby is one month away from being 1! What a month it has turned out to be! We had our first family vacation in Maui for 11 days (and we were there on June 2 so no photo shoot this month. Though we have over 800 photos, mostly of her anyway, from the trip, haha!) She did great on the flight and as a vacation buddy, we are so glad she was easy to travel with, aside from all the luggage she requires!
Here is some stats about our 11 month old:

• Avery weighs 26 pounds and is wearing 18-24 month clothing and size 3 shoes.
• She is eating all kinds of foods and likes most things she tries, but cheese sticks are definitely her favorite thing to eat!
• She has 5 teeth (three on top, two on the bottom) still and doesn't seem to be teething
• SHE IS WALKING!!! She took her first independent steps (14 of them, to be exact!) on June 11 and she has been a walking machine since. Just today (14th) she has let go of objects and walked all by herself across the room! So exciting!
• Avery is quite a social butterfly. Loves waving at anyone who looks in her general direction and enjoys watching and playing alongside other kids.
• We have been going to the gym and she has done great in the kids club

Birthday party planning is reaching a fever-pitch! So grateful to my mom and Alex for their help and support, I am really looking forward to her luau!

Enjoy the video of her first steps but MUTE YOUR COMPUTER, mommy screams pretty loudly, haha! Very exciting for me :)
