Boo Baby's Lullabye


Avery will be a year old next week. Hard to believe he fit in Toby's hands like this... how precious!
A year ago, Jen was finishing up Avery's new room, getting his little clothes ready, making final prepartions to welcome him into the world. And she was still working full time, right up until she gave birth.
I'm so proud of her. She remains focused and committed to this little boy no matter what else is going on in her busy life, and the love & joy shows... on her face when she talks about him or interacts with him... and on Avery's face when he looks at her.




Avery is growing up fast. He's walking now, can say a few words (I love it when he says "yay!" and claps his hands), and is learning sign language (more, cat, dog...). He plays now too, passing things to you and then holding his hand out to receive them back. He's a real ham for the camera, and he's interested in everything going on around him... a real people watcher!

We're looking forward to joining Avery and his mom and dad in celebrating his first birthday next week!
Boo Baby's Lullabye is in the Waltz Book Volume 3 (the red book). Boo is one of Max's nicknames... Boo Dog. Max and Buggy have both welcomed Avery into their lives, they're all good buddies!

Thanks for the nice post about little A... I'm all teared up! Today reminds me of both the day Avery was born and the day we brought him home... it was a snowy day in March with birds chirping everywhere. This year has passed SO quickly. It has been an amazing year to watch Avery learn and develop!
