Daddy's Girl

From head to toe....this is entire ensemble was picked out by Daddy for Avery-bug!
"I wear my hat just like you daddy!"
"Hey daddy-look that way....mommy doesn't have the camera-I promise!"
Hmmmm-dancin' on the table with Elmo. Apparently since Avery got her first pair of "Big Girl" shoes-rules of playing on the furniture just go out the window.
Avery is showing off her new kicks....her first pair of Nikes! They are SOOOO CUTE!!!!
That's daddy's girl!
Avery is finally able to get down in the pen with the hamp babies....now if they'd just come see her....
"Ummmm.....daddddddyyy.....they are getting me!!!!!"
"Daddy-I love him, can I keep him? Pllllleeeeeaaassssssssseeeeeeee?!?!?!?!!?!"
"Too close....it's in my space.....get it out of my space!!!!!"
Having a ball riding the sled back up to the house.....Avery is going to be so much fun to play in the snow with if the weather ever gets above freezing!
What a cute snow baby!

Mommy's day....

Avery got to go outside and play for a bit on her new sled that Mamaw & Papaw got her. She giggled and giggled!
Warming up inside after playing out in the snow...
Waiting for mommy to get ready to head to Pizza Hut!
Playing after coming home from Pizza Hut....Avery & Mommy had a talk about Grandpa Darv and his Pizza Hut obsession.
Lil Hoosier is quite into the IU game...
Mommy & Avery did a lot of Grandpa Darv's favorite things today. We did a lot of things in honor of Grandpa....from playing outside in the snow to dressing in cream & crimson, watching IU b-ball and eating at Pizza Hut.....just some little ways to remember him this week :)

Christmas Vacation was so much fun.....

Avery had one last present when we got home Christmas night. There was a story behind this outfit...a few month ago when we were all shopping, Daddy wanted to get a puffer vest for little Avery but it was WAY TOO BIG when she tried it on in the store. Even though she was swimming in it...she flashed her daddy a huge smile as if to say "but Daddy....I love it and I HAVE to have it!"....a couple months later Daddy & Avery went Christmas shopping. When they got home, a present appeared under the tree TO: Avery From: Daddy. Mommy figured it was some Purdue clothing that she wouldn't think of attaching her name to....low and behold Christmas night Avery opened the puffer vest from her Daddy....just look at the smile on her face!
It's snowing!
Avery & mommy played outside in the snow...it was Avery's 1st time playing in the snow and she had a ball!
She was cracking up with the snowflakes hitting her face and landing on her eye lashes.
Playing with one of her new high chair toys....she really likes it! Thanks Mamaw & Papaw
Avery helping daddy put one of her new toys together....
"Ummm daddy, you forgot a step....the direction say..."
Tada...All done....playing with her new farm that her & dad put together.
Go horse!!!
Playing some more with her farm. It does so many things and plays all sorts of music.
Too cute....daddy's little girl
Elmo Live-this thing is amazing!

Santa came...Santa came!!!!!

Avery raided part of her stocking early with Mamaw....she didn't want to wait for us to all finish eating breakfast before she started in on the presents!
The Haselby's 1st Christmas together as a family. We made so many memories this year...Christmas is so much better sharing every moment with Avery.
Mamaw snuggling with Avery-bug....she had so much fun with everyone Christmas morning...
Helping with mommy's stocking...
Cousin Bailey helping Avery go through her Christmas stocking....Bailey is all about helping unwrap presents!
Marley doesn't get too far from Avery's side...they are going to be the best of friends in the years to come....(Avery was pretty excited to see she got a dvd of Taylor Swift too...she is ALL about Taylor's music).
Another stocking...thanks Mamaw!
She was having so much fun unwrapping the presents. She really did get into it...especially for her age.
An Elmo/Sesame Street phone....just what she wanted!!!!
"I sure hope it is Elmo!"
It was a very Elmo Christmas for Avery. She loved each and every one of them though!
Pretty doggy dress from the Houser Schnauzer's-thanks Mya & Izzy!
"I love it"-thanks mommy & daddy (for the record-dad picked out this 4pc PINK outfit)
Brother Tuffy wants to help Avery open some presents...look at the size of that dogs head in comparison to Avery!!!!!
She just loves opening things from her Auntie Ashley & Uncle Pete....
Avery gets excited about clothes too...she was very excited when she opended this outfit from Aunt Ashley & Uncle Pete. We cannot wait for her to wear it....she will surely look like a Mini-Ashley!
" Thanks for the fuzzy coat and cute jeans Mamaw & Papaw"
"A furry vest....I love it too!!!! Thanks momma & dadda!"
Avery was very excited for this present....she even pulled herself up to stand! 7 months old and she pulled herself to stand by herself!
She was super excited for the Learning Farm that mommy & daddy got her. Just wait until she gets it out of the box!!!! What a special Christmas with this little lady :)

Off to Great Grandmothers house we go....

Miss Avery is ready to head to Great Grandma & Great Grandpa Daily's.....
All ready to head to the Daily side Christmas...just waiting on mommy & daddy to get ready and load the car.
Avery sure loves her Great Grandma....she spent the day at Great Grandma's just a few days before this....so she was quite comfortable there on Christmas.
Playing with Uncle Robert....he is so funny!
"Not so funny.....not so funny. Liked you better from Great Grandma's arms!!!!" Give her some time and she will LOVE spending time with Great Uncle Robert!
"I am ready to head to the beach now mom!" Thanks Cousin Brogan for all the great gifts from Sunny Cali!
Two pretty girls....Avery spent some time visiting with Cousin Natalie. She LOVED Natalie's long, beautiful hair!
Avery was quite content with her cousin Natalie. Even though Avery is quite a bit smaller than her cousin Kale, Natalie still had the touch!
Great Aunt Darlene "thought" she'd make it out of there without holding Avery. But when she came up to say goodbye...Avery bascially fell into her arms forcing Darlene to hold her. We can tell that Avery is starting to remember Darlene now as each time she warms up to her more and more.
Getting her nose and eyes....Avery was having fun playing with Great Aunt Darlene!
