Avery's First Birthday Party!











The day of Avery's first birthday party was quite busy and quite hot. We spent the morning picking up cupcakes and balloons. With all of the activity, Avery only had one short nap the whole day. That did not stop him, however, from whooping it up during his party. He seemed content the whole time, even as people packed into our tiny house to celebrate. There was sangria for adults, and a kiddie version. Family, neighbors and friends attended, including Kate and her new sister Caroline (only 8 weeks old), Sophia, and Baby Bosco. "Uncle" Gary brought his guitar, and we sang songs, including Old McDonald's Farm, and drew on the sidewalk with chalk. Avery tried both chocolate and vanilla cupcakes. He seemed to like them both equally. After the party, he and his friend Gabriel helped with the dishes.

Avery asked Walker, "What alphabet does your name begin with?" 3. I asked Avery what we are going to do tomorrow, and he said, "We are going to get some hay and ride on a pumpkin!" He's very excited, although he seems to have it switched around a bit.

A New Food Every Three Days...

If you were to try a new food every three days for about a year, don't you think you'd get to the point where you had to be really creative to find something new? With combinations of ingredients, knowing that you have tried one dish, you would think that you'd exhaust the possibilities. Well, we've been new foods like this for some time now, and every time I go to the grocery or Farmer's Market, I come back with something new for Avery. Ritz crackers were introduced today! Chive cream cheese was on the menu a few days ago. This evening, we combined the two for Ritz cracker and chive cream cheese fiesta. Avery hogged down seven crackers piled high with cream cheese, had a huge piece of extra sharp cheddar, and some berry applesauce. This was all washed down with a huge bottle of organic whole milk, which friend Jeanna says, "tastes like fresh cut grass and ice cream." I am going to try to make a list of Avery's favorite foods : Veggies -sw...
