July 2013

We spent the month of July laying low and getting into our new routine of a family of four. I am so thankful that I had Alexa during the summer. Avery was off of school so she got to be home with us all day. It was really good for us all to be home together without as many obligations.
 Avery has been the best big sister. She never passes up a moment to hold her baby, she is so helpful with getting burp clothes, pacifiers, diapers or wipes. She loves talking and singing to her baby sister.
 
July 6-11, Leslie and her gang came in to visit. It was the perfect excuse to get as many of the Danford's together for a crawfish boil.

 
 Boomer and Stacey were even able to come out with Baby Ruby.

 Momma's and their babies! Praying for baby Ben to be home soon to join the mix.



 Avery was non stop! She was so happy to be around so much family. She was swimming and swinging and loving on the babies. She finally passed our kneeling on the sofa.
 
 


 
July 26th Josh went out of town for a Master's seminar. It was my first weekend home alone with the girls! Thankfully Josh's mom took Avery one night so I wasn't totally overwhelmed. I picked her up that Saturday and we had a girls' night!
 Gotta have ice cream!
 That Sunday our church had a Cochon de Lait. It was at a nice park in Covington. One of our church members even brought a miniature horse for pony rides!


And here is a little side by side of our two girls. It is amazing how much they are starting to look like each other!

First bath and 30th birthday!

We got discharged home the hospital on Friday June, 28th. Jamie came over and brought us dinner, which was a huge blessing. Alexa was sleeping great! Waking up about every 3 hours to eat. 
That Saturday, Chelsea and Leah came up to meet Ms. Alexa. That evening she got her first bath!
 Of course big sister was close by to help out.
 Little bit was not too happy about being naked and wet and cold.
 Daddy bundled her up and had some "naked baby time"
 "Ok, maybe that wasn't so bad!"
 
Sunday was Josh's 30th birthday! The whole LeBlanc gang came up to celebrate. Josh's mom made his favorite pepper steak.
 Avery holding Alexa for the first time, she was so excited!
 Avery picked out Josh's birthday cake, she knows her daddy!
 Josh and his girls, Happy Birthday! We love you so much!
You truly are an amazing husband and father.

Josh's grandparents holding their 6th great grandbaby! We are so blessed that they are still able to play such an active role in our lives.
