Photo Blast

Quick photoblast from the last month or so. Avery is growing up fast and learning new things everyday, she is starting to get into everything and making messes everywhere. But we love her so much so it is ok. It is crazy how fast she is growing. Brits sister Brooke had a baby girl (congrats) and it's crazy how much smaller she is than Avery and they are only 6 months apart.

Some new things she has been doing lately: When she doesn’t want to eat something she seals her lips and blinks. When she seals her lips good luck trying to get anything in. Might as well nickname them “Fort Knox”, because there’s no getting in! Believe me I have tried. 

She has tried a few new foods lately too. She really likes Yogurt and avocado (daddy too).

She has been kinda saying “Da Da” lately. At least I’d like to think that is what she is saying. Many times she will say it really soft like she is whispering.  Love her.

The weather is warming up so can’t wait to get this little lady outside to do some fun stuff.

How about that face

Brit tried Pig tails on Avery recently. I'll pass for now :)

I told Brit she looks oriental....

All over the place, she is climbing on and getting into everything. DVD's, Tupperware, papers, etc.

Avery loves her puffs and she recently learned how to clap! Love her.

Portland, OR 2013

We had a great time in Portland last weekend. We will try and post more photos later.

Here is a video of Avery’s first time sledding. Not sure what she thought as her facial expression didn’t really change but I did have fun with her and can’t wait to do more fun stuff like this with her. Thanks to the GoPro for the video.

Andy and I were able to go snowboarding at Mt Hood.  I look forward to snowboarding with Andy at each chance we can get. I strapped my GoPro onto a pole and held it off a jump. It was a beautiful day and we had a good time.

 Brit was a hot commodity at the house, the Boys were wanting her to play games with them or they were more than willing to help bathe Avery.  I think those boys would play video games all day long if they could, I think every 20 mins Loggan or Park dawg would come up and ask “Can I see your phone?”. The go to excuse was “Oh, sorry buddy it’s almost dead so it’s charging”

 Oregon is a very pretty state, especially when it’s sunny and in the summer.

Sledding, Yay!

The plane ride there was so so, back was good until about 20 minutes left then she had a mini melt down :(

Mt Hood

Parker and Avery

Ben and Mt Hood. It is somewhat rare to get a sunny day there in the winter so we were loving it.

Many uses of a GoPro

My GoPro has so many uses: Snowboarding, Motocross, other outdoor activities, and......feeding a baby.

Papa Bear and baby bear.

Nom nom nom

Avery has been eating rice cereal and Oatmeal for a few weeks now and she loves them both. A few months back I bought Brit a "Baby Bullet" to make her own baby food. Brit went and bought some fruits and veggies the other day, steamed them and we let Avery have her first try at something with some sort of flavor. The first day we tried apples. She liked it during the first few minutes then she pulled these funny faces on us. Not sure what changed in the few minutes between. . . .

She is so funny. Love her.

Last 2012 Avery Upate

Avery has been growing up and making little advances every day! She is so cute and we love her so much.  We haven't blogged for over a month now so here are just a few of the happenings. Today we took Avery to her 6 month check up.
Here are her stats: Head, 17" 70%, Weight 14.8 lbs 25%, Length 26.5" 75%. Tall and skinny. Tall?

Jen and Jeff Ebert were in town so we got to hang out with them one night. Here is little Mila and Avery hanging out. Mila is so good at crawling. I like this photo, it's like Avery stuck her head in at the last second to get in the photo too. :)

Brit got this photo of Avery one morning when she was still asleep. She has started to sleep on her stomach with her bum bum in the air. Cutie

                                     Here is Avery getting a head start on the christmas gifts.

We started to feed her rice cereal and oatmeal. Avery loves it so much as you will see in the following video.

                                       Mommy and Avery in her Christmas dress. Avery has been sick the last few days but alas she is turning the corner today and doing MUCH better and is back to her old self.

Avery and Santa. Brit took Avery to the Southtown mall to get a photo with the "real" Santa but after waiting for 1 hr she found out she couldn't take pictures with her own camera and their package was $30. No thanks.

We bought Avery a Christmas present. It's a hippo that has balls that pop up. She likes it.

Christmas day. We had a great time for Christmas. We spent the night at my sisters and had a great dinner that night with the family. Christmas morning we woke up early and opened presents with the Dyers. Avery wasn't feeling so hot so she was kind of out of it. Later that day we went to the Grossens to have some dinner and open some presents. It snowed the day before and was sunny on Christmas. It was a great time for my little lady's first Christmas.

All ready to go in her new outfit.
