Avery's last weeks as an Only Child

We stayed very busy the last few weeks before Alexa was due. I knew we would be cooped up in the house for awhile after she was born, so we enjoyed every minute we could.
 We met Jamie, Colin and Jack to go swimming. On our way back to their house, Colin and Avery looked so cute cruising in the Power wheels.
 No NOLA summer is completed without Snowballs!
 We took Avery to see her first movie at the theater.
 Monsters University in 3D!!!
 Avery loved it! She got a kids snack pack and actually stayed still for the majority of the movie. She got a little squirmy towards the end but was appeased with a pickle :)
 We picked up an inflatable pool with a pump and stuff from Academy. Avery loved it! It was a perfect size for her and she has spent many hours in there.
 Chick fil A had a Daddy/Daughter date night June 22nd. It was so cute, they fancied up the place with tablecloths and table service. She came home with goodies and a carnation.
 On Tuesday June 25th Josh had to go to Baton Rouge to sign some papers for work, so we rode along with him. Before Avery was born, Josh and I made her a Build a Bear. She loves her bunny and it has been in her bed with her since she was born. We wanted to make one for Alexa, but the Build a Bear store in Metairie closed down. The closest store was in Baton Rouge so it was the perfect opportunity to make Alexa her special lovey.
 Avery picked out a cute little bear. She filled it with fluff and all 3 of us put a special heart in it.
 You make the bear a birth certificate and it is all very official.
 She was so excited to make her baby sister a bear!
While we were at the mall we played on the carousel and ate lunch. It was a great day with our soon to be big sister. I am glad we got this time to spend with her, because later that night I went into labor!
