I looked back through posts and don't see where I commented on this before, but I could swear I did. Sorry if this is a repeat, but it is cute enough to warrant seeing it again. Avery is definitely giving kisses. At first it seemed like a coincidence, but now she seems to get it and even tries to make a little noise sometimes (you know that muahhh), but more often than not I make the kissy noise for her. Either way, there is nothing better than getting a kiss back.
Since every parent wants to think their kid is advanced, I do look to see when wee ones typically do certain things. Some of the sites say this happens around a year. Sure she isn't crawling forward on her own yet, but if she's "advanced" in being affectionate, that's a win.
