As The Days Go By...

Hard to believe it has been 6 months already!

Love you, BabyDear! 

Snuggle Time

Avery and I played a back and forth game today! She did it about 10 times!!!

My First Mother's Day

Some of us wanted to be doctor, lawyers, CEO's, amazing athletes or magicians.
All I've ever wanted to be was a Mother.

5 Months

Here she is in her number 5 onsie!  We had such a great time taking the photos.  We just got back from her 4 month check up, so she received her shots today!








Avery, it has been a wonderful 5 months! Thank you for all  your smiles.  You have melted my heart over and over.  You bring tears to my eyes because I love you so much!

Avery and the Ocean

Travis and I love to go to the ocean! This time we got to walk with Avery along the coast!

 Neah Bay, Wa

 We saw tons of starfish.

The sun wasn't out, but we were thankful that it wasn't raining!

Avery and I decided to throw a stick for our puppies. We miss them so much!

 The first trip without puppies made me sad...

Daddy and Avery

On the way home, we stopped at Lake Crescent. It is glacier water so the water is so blue. It was hard to see today, since it was overcast. 

 A duck came over to say hello!

What a great day!

Kisses

She has just started to mimic the kissing sounds I make to her! This kiss is for you!!

She Did It!!!! ( shhhh)

Well, she did it! She rolled from her back to front last week! Only thing was that we were in Idaho when it happened and Trav was in Seattle. I felt so bad and didn't know if I should tell him or save it as a surprise. I asked opinions from friends and family and I decided not to tell...

Then last night, we were on our play mat, so she could move freely and she did it again!!!! Only thing was, Trav had stepped into the other room!! He had missed it, again! It was killing me inside so I decided to tell him. He was so happy for her!

I can now share the video I got from her first roll over! Good thing because I missed recording her " second roll over!!"

I didn't even expect her to do it! I was taking photographs of her and next thing I knew, she was practically on her belly! Time to get the video camera!!

Needless to say, I am very happy for you, BabyDear! You are learning to control your body all on your own!!

Potato Love

While we were in Idaho, Reagan wanted to share some of her favorite cartoons with Avery. While waiting for Bubble Guppies to come on, this cute little song came on!
Now, being from Idaho, the land of the Famous Potatoes, I immediately made this my theme song! Now when ever I hear it, I am reminded of my wonderful week at home with my friends and family!
Idaho love, Potato Love!!
Enjoy!

Here is a video of Avery singing tothe intro!

You Are My Sunshine

Opening Day!!

I have to say, I have been waiting for this day for so long!!! Watching Opening Day Baseball with my BabyDear!!








I can't wait to take you to your first baseball game this Friday with Daddy! We will go see the Mariners! We will go to a few games this season. I can't wait to take you to your first Red Sox game later this year!!

Let's go Red Sox!!

Love love love

Hey Little Girl

Daddy loves you so much!

The starts of rolling over!

Avery is getting closer every day to rolling over!! We spend our active awake time on our back and just recently I have seen her bend backwards like a C, reaching her arms out and using her legs as momentum. I can't wait I see what she does next!
Keep practicing, Avery!

Sunday Morning Snuggles

It's becoming a weekend ritual. Avery wakes for a morning feeding and into bed with us she goes! After feeding, we snuggle under the blankets and talk a about things. I can see this being something Avery looks forward to every weekend!

I encourage you to grab a few cozy blankets, call your family over to the couch and take a moment to have a family snuggle time and share a special moment with the ones you love!

Snuggling

Just yesterday I was saying how this rainy weather had to go, but this morning it has me loving it!

Avery and I are snuggled up under soft blankets in the rocking chair, listening to the rain fall.

She has just fallen asleep in my arms. Such a lovely rainy day!



She has her first cold! Poor thing! Her nose is stuffy and she has this little cough. It is just enough of a cough to get us to look at her, then she smiles and then turns away with a bashful grin...

I have been bad about posting pics, so I will do so now:

Getting ready to go to Ikea with Shirley



In the stroller at Ikea.


Daddy diaper time



Snuggle time with mommy



Avery had a little lamb, little lamb, little lamb!



Here is a Birdie Branch I made!





We love our bed!



Say cheese!



Her very own Birdie



Her new dress!






Look at this! She rolled to her side to reach for a cloth!



Beautiful, isn't it!



Silly hat!






Time for some videos:

And last but not least, our favorite story... She sure loves her books and songs.
