Easter Bunny and Ambassador's Dinner

We have had a pretty busy week so far. On Monday when Josh finished at the clinic we went to visit the Easter Bunny! Avery wore her Easter dress and did so good! Thanks for my dress Grandma Connie!

Hehe, I love the shoes and frilly socks!
Presenting Avery's First Easter Bunny Picture!
She did really good with the Easter bunny. I am sure she had no idea what was going on, but I was so happy that she was awake and not fussy.
This is just a picture I took Monday night. Her eyes are really starting to lighten up. Its mostly noticeable around her pupils. But I think we will have a blue eyed angel!
Tuesday during the day, Avery and I went to Target. That evening we went to Saltgrass for Josh's Ambassador's dinner. He is an ambassador for his school, which basically means he represents the school in the public. He also mentors the new students and helps them out. It was a really nice dinner. The three graduating ambassador's (Josh, Ashley and Betsy) got beautiful plaques. Here is Aimee present Ashley with hers.
Cindy gave Josh his. Her speech was so nice, she talked about what a genuine, kind and caring person Josh is. She also talked about how he inspires loyalty in those he meets.
I am so proud of him!
The plaque talks about how they make a difference.
I love that the engraving says DR. Joshua LeBlanc...in a few short weeks that will be his official title!
Avery was an absolute doll. I fed her right before we left, and she slept the entire dinner! She went 4 1/2 hours without fussing, crying or even waking up. It was so nice to enjoy the dinner and everything. Of course as soon as we got in the car she started screaming for food, but I had a bottle pumped for her and she ate and settled right back down.
Betsy's daughter Savannah loved her! She tried her best to get her to wake up, but Avery slept right through it.
Momma and daddy on their big night out!
When we got home, Avery settled right back in and slept well all night. We have a really good nigh time routine the past week or so. She wakes up to eat every 2 1/2 to 3 hours, I feed her, change her and she goes right back to sleep in her pack and play. She usually wakes up for her last feeding around 6am. After that one, I put her in bed with us and cuddle with her until it is time to get up. I love that time with her. I finally feel like we are getting things (a little) under control. Its not the sporadic newborn schedule anymore. Now we just have to work on on the daytime routine. I am trying to get an a schedule of feeding her, playing with her, then laying her down for a nap. Hopefully she takes to it, I feel like it is important to get her in a routine before I go back to work.
Thursday, Avery has her 2 month check up. She is going to get her 2 month shots too. I am dreading it! Thankfully Josh is coming with me to help out. I pray she doesn't react too bad to them, I am definitely pretreating her with Tylenol before her appointment.
