Little Birdie turns 1.

Yeah, yeah I know this is one of those "I told you so moments".

Everyone warned me turning one happens quick but seriously, yikes! I've been having flashbacks the past week, remembering the days and moments leading up to Avery's arrival and it feels like just yesterday while at the same time it feels like a lifetime ago... My darling husband was kind enough to capture me having a contraction while trying to pack my hospital bag. They tell you to pack ahead of time for a reason...I didn't listen. How was I supposed to know what I would want to wear. (kidding...we'll sort of)

Amazingly she was born in 4 minutes via emergency c-section and although her arrival into the world wasn't exactly how we had planned (we didn't know if she was going to be a he or she...) I wouldn't change any of it for a minute. Well I guess I could have done without multiple middle of the night ER visits and 2 helicopter rides but overall she is a healthy, very happy little girl!
Happy First Birthday Avery!
I'll leave you with some photos chronicling the first year of her life. I'll let the pictures do the talking because they do say a picture's worth a thousand words... 

 

 

 

 

  

 

 

 We're off on a fun filled Birthday adventure. I'll have my camera in hand of course as I plan to get some one year shots and per Avery's request we're having Mexican for dinner! (I may have helped her decide that but the girl does love her avocados! And her momma loves her some Margaritas!)
