Avery's First Trip to the Beach!

This past weekend, we enjoyed a few days at the beach in Port Aransas.  10 couples, along with 5 kids, ranging in age from 4 months to 2 1/2 (yes, we were crazy!) stayed in 3 condos.  We had some good quality time with our friends, cooking together, hanging out at the beach and pool, and playing with our kids.  It was quite challenging with a baby, but we still had a good time.  Avery loved the water, but I couldn't keep the sand out of her mouth.  She is getting soooo close to walking this week.  She will walk just holding one hand or finger now.  She will let go and take about 5 or 6 steps on her own.  It is so exciting for her!  She moved over to her next class at school this week, and is doing great.  She is making lots of changes.... switching to just one nap a day, and transitioning from a bottle to a cup.  She is doing great with cows milk, but likes it warm.  We are looking forward to her birthday party next week! 
Here are some pictures from the beach...
