Settling in!

We are getting settled into our new Louisiana lives, and absolutely love it! Josh started work last Thursday. Here is getting ready to leave.
Welcome to the real world Dr. LeBlanc :)
That morning before he went to work I made him breakfast. Well they are freezer waffles but I put the fresh fruit and whip cream on them.
Josh added a little more whip cream to his!

I have been working on Avery's nap schedule during the day. She now stays awake for about two hours then takes a nap for about 1-1 1/2 hours. It is working out well and it is helping with her end of the day fussiness. When she gets fussy that means its time to go to sleep!

While Josh was at work Thursday Avery and I decided to bake him a "happy first day of work" cake.
Avery was very helpful!
TaDa!
What do you mean I don't get a piece!!!!!
She was so sleepy on Friday when Josh got home from work. She passed out on him in seconds!
We brought her pack N play to Derek and Kristen's house, and she slept while we enjoyed a BBQ with them. It is so nice to be able to visit and spend time with our friends!
On Saturday Chelsea and Jarrod came up to see the new house and visit a little bit. I didn't get any pictures of them, but here is Avery before we went Mexican.

We had a great time visiting and relaxing with them too!
On Sunday we got up and got ready to go visit Josh's family at his grandma and grandpa's. Josh got Avery ready this morning and this is what he picked out! Cute girl!

Avery was so sweet, she went from person to person and was just as happy as can be. Here she is loving on her great grandpa. This was right after she woke up from her nap. She was so glad to see her Mimi too! She was eating her face!
Josh's grandma made a gumbo and we got to see most of his family. We are so happy to be home and so much closer to all of our family and friends. I am also thankful for the time I get to spend at home with my baby girl. She is such a good, happy baby. Here is a video of her laughing at her Mimi and Papa.

4 months old!

Avery Yvonne you are 4 months old!
You weigh 15 pounds 11 ounces
and are 25 inches long!You are wearing 3-6 months clothes and they fit you perfectly.
Your diapers are a size 2...we like Huggies the best right now.
You have rolled over a couple of times from back to belly
and belly to back.
But you HATE being on your belly so you end up fussing once you rollover!
You can also sit up for a little while if we hold your back.

Our days are a little more scheduled now.
You wake up around 7 am. You eat breakfast and play then take a nap.
You do this 2-3 times a day.
In the evenings are your bath time. That is your favorite time of the day.
You play in the bathtub, we put your lotion and pajamas on,
then you nurse or get a bottle and go to bed without a fuss!
During the night you only wake up once or twice to eat!

You have discovered TV this month!
Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is your favorite!
You will even laugh at us if we do the voices and sing the songs from the show.
You laugh a lot now! We get lots of giggles when we tickle your neck and belly.

You have definitely discovered your voice this month!
You make "RAWR" sounds a lot. It sounds like you are a growling at us!
We love hearing you talk and sing songs with you to get you talking more!
This was a busy month for us!
Your daddy graduated chiropractic school and mommy went back to work!
Daddy got to stay home with you all this month!
You sure do love him!
Right after your 4 month birthday we moved back home to Louisiana!
You are getting perfectly settled into our new life.
You love visiting our family and having people visit you!
Sorry I didn't do a 3 month post, I was back at work then.
But since I am home with you right now, I will try to keep this updated!
We love you so much! It is so fun, now that you are more responsive to us.
We live to make you smile and giggle and laugh.
You bring sunshine to everyone lives, and are such a calm and happy baby.
We love watching you grow!
