Aven at One Year

At one, Aven clocks in at 28.5 inches tall and 17 pounds, 13 ounces. So, while she's still a peanut (and smaller than Rory at the same age), she's jumped to a slightly higher percentile given how good of an eater she has become. They call Aven "Miss Smilely". While she is not yet walking (any day now), she is very vocal (perhaps thanks to those new ear tubes), with a vocabulary of pseudo-words ... Dada (Daddy), Ma (Mommy), Ro (Rory), boo (book), bah (bottle), dat (that, accompanied with a finger point).
