It seems like Avery is growing up more and more everyday. She is awake and alert more during the day, and even starting to interact with us a little bit more. Last Tuesday, Josh was giving her a bottle, and she started to hold it herself.
Big girl has found her hands!
On Wednesday we got out of the house...Josh, Avery and I had a lunch date at Chili's. Then Avery and I went to babiesRus and Target. She did really good, I carried her in the backpack carrier and she was happy as can be. These are some pictures when we got home. She looked like such a big girl sitting up on the recliner.
Later that day, she was taking a nap on her boppy lounger.
And slid off the end of it!
On Friday we drove out to San Angelo to visit Drew, Meredith and Caiden. Once again Avery was an angel in the car. She slept the whole way! This is her once we got there. She was all spread out, glad to be out of her carseat. I love this new little outfit!
Chubby Cheeks!
We brought a sack of crawfish, that Josh boiled when we got out there. They were awesome. Here are the guys testing them out.
We had a lazy Saturday morning. Caiden was cuddling with his Uncle Josh and playing dinosaurs.
Avery knocked out on her Uncle Drew. She had a rough night Saturday night. She was REALLY fussy...I think she is starting to get a little colicky :(
They did the same thing Sunday morning :)
Saturday afternoon we went out to Drew's base and did a little bit of shopping. Then picked up some Mexican food to eat at the house so the kids could take a nap. Saturday night Drew and Josh went to a local brewery and had a couple beers, then they BBQ ed pork chops for dinner. It was a really nice day. Before we left on Sunday I tried to get some pictures of Avery and Caiden. He loves his little cousin.
Cheese!
Avery did great again on the ride home Sunday, but was up all night Sunday night! Monday we went to visit Josh at school again. Ashley got to hold her.
April too!
She was starting to get a little diaper rash, so yesterday afternoon I let her air out her butt during her nap. She will probably kill us for these pictures when she gets older! Hehe.
I got some cute face pictures yesterday evening.
She was either grinning or straining to poop in this picture!
Yesterday afternoon she was REALLY fussy. Like I said I think she is getting a touch of colic. She screamed for basically an hour straight, and I did EVERYTHING I could think of to calm her down. I finally called Josh to come home from the gym so he could take over and try to soothe her. Right before he got home, I walked outside to let Izzy out. I was holding Avery and as soon as we walked outside she quit crying and fell asleep. She did it again last night when she started crying again. Maybe we have found her colic fix...hopefully it keeps working. My poor baby, I feel so bad for her when she is screaming like that. We do everything we can think of to fix her crying and it doesn't work. Hopefully it passes soon!
She loves her dad.
On Wednesday, I had my 6 week check-up with my OB doctor. Avery and I got dressed up and got out of the house. The check-up was good. Everyone in the office loved her. Dr. Hernandez said everything looks good with me, no more restrictions or anything.
She is definitely taking her pacifier more now.
She is also making the cutest faces lately.
It seems like she is more interactive with us too!
Big Yawn!
Wednesday night Avery and Josh were playing online poker with Ms. Aleta.
Thursday I took some more cute face pictures.
Friday morning one of my co-workers, Tracy, came over to visit us. She is the one who got Avery her crib bedding. She cuddled up and fell asleep on her.
Friday night, Chelsea and Leah came in to visit for the weekend. On Saturday the weather was beautiful, so we got up and went out to Kemah for the day.
It was so pretty out there, everyone was taking their boats out for a sail.
Josh was such a good daddy, he pushed Avery around all day.
Avery was great, she slept most of the time.
I love my girls!
Here is Josh and me before we rode the roller coaster.
After we got done walking around, we went to Saltgrass for appetizers...
and margaritas!
Everything was so good! Avery was wide awake while we were eating. She wasn't even fussy. I love this picture of us.
She's looking at her momma!
Loving on daddy...sorry about the lighting, it was really bright behind them.
Cuddling with Leah.
Chelsea and Leah left this morning. Here is Avery cuddling with Chelsea before they left.
We got up this morning and went to church for Avery's first time ever. I love our little family so much!
All dressed up and ready to go.
She did so good during the service. She was awake for the praise and worship, then fell asleep on Josh during the sermon. I had to kick Josh in the middle of it, because he was falling asleep with her!
After church we ran the roads. We stopped at Old Navy to look for some clothes. Josh had fun with Avery while I was in the dressing room.
After Old Navy, we went to Pei Wei for lunch.
We went to Macy's after lunch, and I got two dresses! One for Easter and one for Josh's graduation. I am glad to have that taken care of. Since we have been home today, we have just been relaxing. I took this picture of Josh and Avery this afternoon. I love how little her hand looks against his finger.
Like I said I am so happy its warming up, and I can't wait to get Avery out of the house more. This week if it stays pretty, I would like to go out to the Texas Livestock Show and Rodeo. It is a huge month long event they have every year in Houston. Besides the rodeo, they have concerts every night, a huge area of the BEST food, animal displays, shopping and a carnival. Its really neat. I wish Avery were little older so she would enjoy it more, but I am sure she will be content just being pushed around in her stroller. I hope everyone has a great week!
Motorcycles
Guns!
Avery was such a good girl. She literally slept the whole time! Even with all the sounds of the game room and the kids screaming and stuff she was knocked out. I like that she can sleep through noises and busyness. Hopefully she stays that way!
We all stayed up pretty late visiting...Drew and Avery were tired this morning.
