Dear Avery,
My sweet boy, this has been the fastest year of my life. I cannot believe it was a year ago that you made us a family of four! You have completely captured my heart and your Daddy, sissy, and I all love you very much!
You are officially a walker! You starting taking 3-4 steps the week before you turned 1 and you just continue to get better & better each day! Its so fun to watch you toddle all around! This was a record month for teething! You got 4 molars and 2 more teeth on top. You have 11 teeth total now.
The week of your 1st birthday you got a mystrey rash that completely covered your little body. You weren’t at all bothered by it, but it sure had Mommy & Daddy worried! After a few doctor appointments I think we came to the conclusion it was viral. But to be safe we are staying away from mangos. You had mango yogurt 1 hour before you broke out in the rash, so it could also be an allergic reaction.
Your vocabulary still consists of about 3 words mama, dada, ball, and few other jibber jabbers! You are getting really good about pointing to what you want. You also follow a few commands really well such as, “shut the door” or “close the cupboard”!
You are still taking 2 naps a day. Over the past month you’ve gotten better at naps. You usually nap around 9-9:30am for an hour or so and then again in the afternoon for about the same amount of time. 
The 2nd week of your 11th month we started mixing your midday bottle at daycare – 1/2 breast milk and 1/2 whole milk. You did so well with the transition and didn’t miss a beat. March 3rd was your last mixed bottle. Your last week of your 11th month I continued to nurse you morning and evening. A few days later we dropped your AM nursing session and gave you a sippy cup of a milk. After a day or 2 (and warming it up) you got used to this new routine. Mommy is still nursing you before bed.
Speaking of bed, after nursing you around 6:45/7pm-ish you go down for the night pretty well. Most days you will sleep till 6am or later. Since those 6 more teeth popped through you have been sleeping SO much better lately!
You are still a great eater! You love any fruit or vegetable and we are trying to push more meats with you than we did your sister. Out of anything, fruits are definitely your favorite! You also love bread, but for some reason could leave pancakes or waffles! Silly boy!
Avery boy, you are such a fun little boy with the sweetest laugh and cutest little face I ever did see! We cannot wait to continue to watch you grow!
Love,
Mommy
