Happy Birthday to my baby girl!!

Yes, I know she isn't technically a baby anymore. But, she will always be my baby girl! I can't believe how fast time flies, it seems like just yesterday...

Mommy isn't looking too excited! Or it could be the fact that my face was numb from the epidural ( before it stopped working altogether!)



Already attached, should've been a sign of things to come!!!

Under the bili lights- note the blue hue in the pic.




It snowed like it was winter the day after Avery was born ( she was born in April)!

Happy 1st birthday! She wasn't too excited about the whole cake thing.



And here we are... two short years later. We got her a Radio Flyer spring horse for her 2nd birthday. She loves it! The horse makes "horse sounds" when she gets on and rides it . Too cute, we have several pics playing on the horse, I'm sure you will see them soon.





For some reason, I can't remember to rotate the pic before I upload it. Oh well, I still think it's a good pic. Her hair is still pretty red, and getting so long! Remember the almost bald newborn? We are definitely out of that stage. We celebrated Avery's second birthday on Sat, the day before Easter since I was forced, yes forced, to work on Sunday. Joe, Avery, and I ate Easter lunch with the in-laws at my parents house. And Momo even came too! We all got dressed up, gave Avery some presents, and stuffed ourselves!! All in all, a pretty good time! We decided not to have such a big party this year, since at the time, we were planning Dad's surprise party. My mom and I are not the best party planners, didn't have it in us for two in one month! Don't worry, we'll give her something good next year. Not that she will remember anyway.






Anytime the camera comes out, she says "cheese" and smiles as big and wide as she can!



This is her Dora cake, that my mother-in-law made and my bother-in-law decorated it. She was much prettier before Avery ran her fingers over the face! She also had a backpack cake that was really cute but I accidentally deleted the pic.
