Miss Averi ~ 12 Months Old

 This is what most of the photo shoot looked like. The only way we were able to get a few good photos is if we gave her a cell phone to play with. 

Averi turned one years old on July 27th! She is no longer my little baby. She is very determined and has the biggest personality. She is so curious and notices every little detail of things inside and outside. Averi is very stubborn and wants to do everything by herself. She wants to feed herself with a spoon, she has no time for diaper changes, she walks everywhere she goes now, she loves making a mess with all of her toys, she loves pulling out all of her books and reading them, and she loves teasing mommy and daddy.
