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.

We got some good video of her laughing the other day. It's fnny the things she thinks is so funny to her. Like this. A ball hitting her in the chest... She's awesome!

Drums please

Sometimes I play the drums with Avery so we decided to get it on film this time. She's awesome.

This is Halloween

For Halloween this year we headed up to Sandy for a block BBQ. We had a good time eating and getting to know another couple me met there with a 3 months old baby. 

Last minute Brit came up with a Minnie Mouse costume that turned out pretty well! Good job Brit!

This is the only photo we got of the night.  We love her.

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.
