My canvas is here! stunning

So...I ordered this for Avery's room - and had every intention of putting it there, but.......when it came and I opened the box - I was stunned by it and gave it a new home where I can treasure it every day! It now hangs over the fireplace , Avery right in between her brothers. Not shown are the large pictures of Brenden and Conner on each side of the fireplace. The canvas looks kinda small here in the picture - I assure you, it's not - it's HUGE! It's a 20x40 panoramic and it's simply stunning!

Avery is doing fine since her surgery, still cant get a handle on whether or not the eye is quite centered. It's hard to judge because she has the red sclera on that side (bleeding in the white part of the eye) But I can say that I believe it will be an improvement over where we were pre-operatively. So we just wait and see. She's doing fine.

She had her 1 year old appt the day before her surgery - she is tipping (or not really) the scales at 19 pounds, which is like the 18% percentile, And is 50% percentile for height. So next to the boys - she's my smallest one yet! To give you comparison, Brenden was 22lbs at 6 months - Avery's 19 at a year. Conner wasnt as big as Brenden, but not as small as Avery either.

The transition to whole milk - well...... she is taking that one slow. We will just keep trying. Im only nursing her at morning and night and 1/2 breastmilk, 1/2 whole milk bottles during the day. We'll try this for a while so I can unload all the milk I have frozen (wow, I had no idea it was that much)

And... the biggest news...... Avery took her first step today!!! (I think it will be a while before she's officially walking, but we are definitely headed in that direction!
