Swingin'

I put Avery in her swing this afternoon, and decided to take her picture. As you can see, she thought it was a wonderful idea.

Funny Mommy

Sometimes things strike Avery as very amusing, as the sudden transformation in these two photos attest. One moment barely hanging on to consciousness, one moment laughing at funny mommy.

Shots

Avery got her 2 month shots today, and didn't enjoy it very much. We didn't either, and it was made worse by the 45 minute wait in the exam room. Avery is normally a very happy baby in the morning, but after 45 minutes of laying around just before breakfast 2, anyone would be grumpy. And just as she got some food in her, the shot lady came in and we had to interrupt her.

She slept most of the day when we got home, and then Megan discovered she had a fever. But after a few doses of medicine (which she slurped up with vigor) she was feeling much better, with her colorful bandages on her sturdy little thighs.

Conversations with Avery

Avery has become very talkative of late, making all sorts of happy noises when she is in a good mood, and a wide range of reminders that she is hungry or wet, etc.

Happy Thanksgiving

At grandma and grandpa's house for Thanksgiving. Happy Thanksgiving!

Smile

Avery is now able to smile back at you when she is happy. It melts my heart!

First Denim Dress

Avery is wearing her first denim dress thanks to her grandma pie. It is still a little big on her but she will grow into it quickly.

Baby Doll

Avery snuggles up to her new doll.

A Milestone

Avery took a bath Sunday night, and didn't cry even a little bit. The first time, and we are all very proud.

Working Out

We got Avery a gym thing, and she was so excited about it she fell asleep. But I am sure she will enjoy it once she attempts it use it when better rested.

A Six Month Sweater, Thank You Very Much

Supposedly this very lovely sweater given to my daughter by my dear mother is labeled '6 mo' which I would assume means 6 months. Since she is 7 weeks old on Tuesday, the label must be off.

21 inches long, 12 lb, 7 oz as of last Wednesday.

Babies Best Friend

Avery and Rosie get their picture taken together while Megan makes dinner. Roise is adjusting well although she is eager for any attention that is offered her way.

Wide Awake

It is always a pleasure to be able to hang out with Avery when she is wide awake. And despite how things may be going that particular day, she always seems to enjoy laying on her changing table. Maybe she likes pink.

Fighting Sleep

Avery doesn't always want to go to sleep, so she fights it as best as she can.

And despite her best efforts, always passes out after a good meal.
