Moving and Memorial Day

Whew...we have been busy this last week! It all started on Tuesday with Avery's 4 month check-up.



























She was such a big girl!


















She now weighs 15 pound 11 ounces (90%) and is 25 inches long (70%).














She also got her 4 month shots :( The first one just kind of aggravated her, but the second one made her mad! She fussed for a few minutes, but once we got her dressed and cuddled with her a little bit, she was fine. She is such a tough girl!





























After her pediatrician appointment we went to the cardiologist. He said her can just BARELY hear her murmur, and it is only intermittent . We don't have to follow up again until she is 1 year old!


After her Dr.'s appointments we got into major moving mode. I don't think there is any organized way to pack up and move your entire house! We got a 17 foot Uhaul half way packed, when we realized that all of our stuff wouldn't fit! Josh had to go back out and get a trailer to pull behind the Uhaul. We filled that up to the top too! Who knew we had some much stuff! Poor Avery did not enjoy moving! She was hot and didn't have any of her normal places to lay and play.















It was kind of bittersweet moving out of our little condo. It was the first house we bought, we had our first child there, and many many memories of fun, parties, friends and crawfish boils. The good thing is that we are renting it out to a really nice family so it technically is still ours.




































Thursday was the big move day! We headed out about 8am and had smooth sailing all the way to Mandeville. Once we got to our new house, Jeff, Jon, Corey and my mom came over to help unload and start putting things away. I have so much more room!!!! We absolutely love the house too! We rented it sight unseen, Ms. Aleta and Corey did a walk through for us. They did a great job because we love it! We got a few things put away Thursday and Friday morning, then on Friday afternoon we headed out to Baton Rouge for Ben and Elissa's rehearsal dinner and wedding on Saturday. I am so mad, I didn't have my camera because Avery came to the wedding with us and looked ADORABLE! I had her in her little Sailor suit that Ms. Aleta got for her. She cuddled on Josh's grandma for most of the reception, we all had a great time!


Sunday was back to unpacking. My mom came over to watch the baby and I dug in! I got the kitchen, dining area and pantry all unloaded and put away. Then I made our first meal in our new house. BBQ shrimp, french bread and salad. It was so good! Then we celebrated our new life with some champagne!





























Monday morning we got up and Avery played in her new jumper.














Poor baby's feet didnt' touch the ground.














So we had to put a box underneath her to push off of. I think she likes it!














That afternoon we had a little Memorial Day BBQ. Avery was dressed up so cute in her Red, White and Blue.



























She was so happy too!















We grilled some corn and hamburgers...yum!














And my mom made Strawberry Shortcake!













It was such a nice, relaxing day. The house is ALMOST unpacked and organized. And Josh and I are just so happy to be back in Louisiana, close to our family. Avery too!
