February
It seems like we were super busy every weekend in February. We watched the Superbowl, celebrated Ben and Ashley's couple's shower, then Ashley's bachelorette party. During the weeks however I was soaking up time with my baby girl. Here was one of our mommy/daughter days. We started off with lunch at Chik fil a.
Then we played at the park.
Then Avery helped me cook dinner :)
MarchAvery celebrated her first Mardi Gras as a Louisianian in March. Unfortunately the Luling parade was cancelled due to bad weather, but we made it out to Metairie on Mardi Gras day for the festivities. Avery loved it! She figured out quickly how to wave to the floats to get goodies and she was even dancing with the bands. Not to mention she also enjoyed all the good food!
March 11th, Avery took her first steps! And on the 20th she had her first stomach bug! It was crazy though, almost EVERYONE in Josh's family ended up with this awful bug. I have never seen a virus spread so quickly. Thankfully she got over it within 24 hours, but she was pitiful while it lasted!The next weekend, Josh and I took Avery to the zoo. She LOVES the fish is her PaPa and Grandpa's fishtanks so we knew she would have a blast.
She always does the cutest fish mouth whenever she sees fish. So her little lips were busy this day!
She also enjoyed playing on all the toys.
After taking a few steps here and there earlier in the month, on the 28th, she decided to become a full time walker. It was so cute, we were having Ashley and Ben over for dinner, and she was trying to keep up with their son Drake. So Miss Thing just took off walking like she had been doing it her whole life! And she has NOT stopped since!
These pictures were no easy feat with 5 kids under the age of 4!

April was a very busy month for us. We were lucky enough to have Josh in from Virginia for a week and Drew and Meredith in from Germany. We took that opportunity to get all of the families together for a trip to the zoo.
These pictures were no easy feat with 5 kids under the age of 4!Avery had a great time at the zoo. We were at the raccoon exhibit in this picture and she kept fussing at them for fighting with each other :)
The following 2 weekends we had weddings. Here we are at Ashley and Ben's wedding, it was so beautiful! Except the fact that Josh ate too many crawfish while the guys were getting ready. He ended up broken out in major hives. After 2 benadryls his face was clear, but he was majorly loopy!
The following weekend was Nathan and Lynn's wedding. We had a great time hanging out with all of the Luling friends that we went to high school with. We kept talking about how funny it was that we used to party all the time and talk about going out and hooking up, now we are all married, settled down and having kids. Man we are getting old!
We celebrated Easter at the end of April. Avery had a great time dyeing eggs.

She loved all of her goodies from the Easter Bunny.
And we had a great day at Mom's house. Here is the crew playing games on their phone.
Since we were all dressed up, I decided to try and get a few family pictures.
The kids had a great time searching for Easter eggs and playing in the new pool.

MayAt the beginning of May we celebrated the Jambalya at Josh's grandma's house and Mother's day. I had a fabulous mother's day! We woke up and had breakfast at the Broken Egg. After Avery's nap we went to Luling to eat crawfish with his family, then we went to Jake and Angela's for dessert. Josh had Avery paint me a picture for my gift. You will notice the hand, foot and BUTT prints on the canvas :)
I also got a new purse! Bye Bye diaper bag!
Here we are 3 generations, celebrating our 2nd mother's day together.

JuneJune has been sooo HOT! We have either been trying to keep busy inside or cooling off in the pool outside. Avery is really starting to enjoy arts and crafts. Here she is one morning creating a masterpiece!
June 8-9 Avery and I headed to Destin for an overnight trip to see Leslie and her family at the beach! Avery did so good! She loved the sun, sand and water!

She loves the water! Weather it is in a pool, hosepipe or raining from the sky. We definitely have a little water baby.
I also enjoyed the trip, it was nice to just lay back and relax a little.
Whew, that about sums up the past 5 months! Sorry I have been slacking, I will definitely try to stay on top of blogging now that I am all caught up. I will leave you with a big CHEESE from our angel before church last week.
