Avery's 1st Birthday...

Today Avery is one. I can't believe how much can happen in just one year. One year ago today at this time I was 5 1/2 months pregnant and by 6:05pm Avery was born. She has grown and progressed beyond any one's expectations and I am truly blessed for our little "miracle."

Avery loving playing with the paper from her present. She got a cute little dress from her cousins in California.

Avery full of giggles wearing the dress we got her for her birthday.

I think Avery looks like such a "little girl" in this picture.

That is amazing how much she has grown up in the last year. What a challenging year for your family, but obviously a very rewarding one! What a miracle!!

I remember how tiny and cute she was when I first saw her and now what a beautiful little girl she has become. Love the pictures with her eyes... I'm so glad she is doing so well and your little family made it through this long year of stress.
