3 month update a little late :)

Well Avery will be 4 months next week so I am a little behind, but better late than never.  She is growing so fast. She loves looking at everything. When we hold her she loves facing out. She will fuss if we turn her towards us. She has also been loving her bumbo!

and still loves her bath!

At the end of September I was driving when she had a major spit up and soaked herself and the car seat. I came home and started to clean the chair. I put her on the blanket and went to go put stuff in the wash. When I got back up stairs she was rolling over on to her stomach. I couldn't believe it. It was a fun surprise.

Also in September we celebrated  Sophie and Jack's birthdays. Sophie turned 2. She loves Minnie Mouse so she had a minnie mouse party. The cupcakes were adorable!

 She got a trike for her birthday.

 Jack turned 4. Ben and I got him a soccer ball.

At the beginning of October my mom was watching Jack and Sophie so we went to the Living Planet Aquarium. It was a lot of fun.

Jack showed us that he was the same size as the big penguin.

And Sophie was the size of the little one.

Avery loved watching the fish and otters swim around.

Also Avery loves chomping on her hands and now has found her feet as well. Love her!

Hopefully I will be better at posting her 4 month update :)

DD Date

Did a daddy daughter date with some buddies on Saturday. Went for a hike up Temple Quarry trail. Avery did great and lasted about 10 minutes then fell asleep. :)  Love her.

Averys first laugh!

We got some video of Avery laughing for the first time. She is so awesome. She melts my heart.

Disneylandia 2012 + more

We recently went to Disneyland/So Cal for a few days. We went with the whole Grossen crew. 16 in total counting kids.  We left on Wed afternoon and came back Monday night. We spent 2 days at Disneyland and a day at the beach. Avery was awesome the whole time and we love her so much.
As usual here are some photos to explain the trip.



 For the most part Avery liked the rides, here she is on the bugs life ride? Its cool because throughout the ride it sprays scents in the air, like watermelon and brown sugar.

Kate loved her Minnie Mouse pajamas she wore them the whole first day. 

 Cars land, for the most part all the lines weren't too bad. We waited in line for maybe 30 mins for the Radiator Springs Racer Fast Pass then maybe another 20 mins in line. It was a fun ride. But I think my fav are Toy Story, Indiana Jones and Tower of Terror.

 The first day it was pretty hot so being outside in the sun meant Benny boy here was sweatin bullets. Brit was feeding Avery and under that fabric it must be a sauna because she came out drippin. At least she has one of my attributes. 

 Asleep at the castle.

Mommy and Avery on the Little mermaid ride. Avery doing her best Heisman pose.

 Phineas and ferb. I think my nephews used to watch this.

Lights out on the It's a small world ride

Splash Mtn. I don't think anyone actually buys the photos anymore. They just do what I did and snap a photo of the screen.

And on day 1, she was pooped at 11:14 PM. it was a long day.

Day 3 was Saturday. Chilling at the Newport Beach. What a cool chick.

La Familia Trujillo

Baby Kate wasn't afraid to get a little dirty.

Ricardo puttin his architecture skills to good use. Hey, have you seen our basement?

Tom P. Lovin the beach.

I think this kid could have spent the whole vacation at the beach.

Rach munchin on some chips.

Baby Avery got her first feel of sand.

Sleeping

We had to resort to using the sink at the hotel to bathe her. Worked out pretty well.

That night we celebrated Kate's and Sophie's 2nd Birthdays with a Minnie mouse party. 

A good shot of her powty lower lip. Just does this right before she is going to cry.

This was a day ago, her hair is getting long.

Let's see how many kids know who these guys are. My bro's boys are into this guy. HM.

Daddy and Avery at the beach. Showin a little shoulder.

She has recently learned how to turn over. We love her so much.
