Throw me something mister!
Mardi Gras makes me sleepy!
We didn't go to any parades or anything this year, but we did eat Popeye's for dinner. We definitely look forward to being home to celebrate next year!Wednesday was a great day. Avery was in such a good mood!. This was her smiling in the morning.
Then she laid so contently on her little play mat while I did some laundry.
This was the first time she ever played on it. I really think she was reaching up for the little angel right above her. It was so cute.
That afternoon she even took a nap in her bassinet. She's never really slept in here, she prefers her swing or being in bed with us :)
And this was her sleeping in the evening before bed. Josh took a picture of her because her shirt says "daddy loves me" and she just looks so cute!
Today was a quiet day. Josh was at the clinic most of the day and Avery slept and ate A LOT! She was doing either of those activities most of the day. Josh did give her a bath though this evening. She is getting a lot better with bath time and barely fusses anymore.
This is her trying to bite the washcloth.
And again, I just think her little face is so cute in this picture.
Here she is all cozy and clean after her bath. And look at that double chin! Baby girl is definitely putting on some weight. Her newborn sized pajamas are even starting to get snug!
Tomorrow when Josh finishes up at the clinic we are headed home! We will spend one night in Baton Rouge with my mom and one night in Luling. Unfortunately Ms. Aleta was admitted to the hospital today for pneumonia, they are treating her with IV antibiotics and steroids. So hopefully she will be home when we get there so she can see her little angel. It was so stressful packing for Avery tonight. We are only going to be gone for two nights, but I am so afraid we won't have something that she needs. I can only imagine how bad it will be whenever we go on a real trip! But we are very excited to go in and introduce her to everyone. Hopefully she will be a good traveler. The good thing is that its only a 4 hour drive from here to Baton Rouge, so we should only have to stop once! We will see. Pictures to come from our weekend!

They fought over her the whole time!
Naked Baby! Her umbilical cord stump fell off on Saturday. She is growing up so quickly! You can see her little outtie belly button in these pictures.
Her check-up went well. Before they weighed her, they told me they like for them to be back up to their birth weight by the 2 week check-up. When they put her on the scale she was 8 pounds 3 ounces! She is almost a pound heavier than her birth weight (7#5oz)The nurse said "Well I guess breastfeeding is going well." She is now 21 inches long (20.5 inches at birth). This was her face while we were waiting for the doctor to come in a see her. She does not look very happy.
The doctor came in and checked her out. She said she couldn't hear the heart murmur any more, but we are still going to see the cardiologist for a follow up in a few weeks. She also noted that her jaundice is just about gone. Everything else looked good. Avery did pretty good, and only fussed when she was uncovered. After her appointment we went to visit daddy at work.
