Northern Utah, here we come! :D

Hi guys!

So, I know I missed a week.  It's turning out to be kind of a habit for me and I apologize.  But, here's some updates on Avery I think you'll enjoy.

She's had some big and small changes the last few weeks.  She's officially started to roll over to her tummy, always going left (not right yet).  It's pretty interesting for her and for us because she rolls over almost every time you put her on her back, but then gets pretty frustrated quickly and upon rolling her back to her back, she almost immediately rolls back over to her tummy.  We let her try and figure it out first before rolling her back, but it's been pretty funny so far.  Here's a video of one of her very first rolls:





Now, she's very fast at rolling over and I think she'll start rolling the other direction soon.


She's also been balancing better while sitting, so we decided to take a video of that, and some pictures:





She has been doing better at balancing, though you can't tell so well in the video. 

Also, we've started some solid food.  For now, every night before bed she gets a small bowl of infant rice cereal.  She absolutely LOVES it.  So, we thought we'd post a video:




 And, just for fun, I thought we'd share some cute pictures from this month:

She is snuggly and warm in this fluffy pink jacket.

She LOVES red solo cups and tries furiously to eat them.

One of her winter hats.

She was mesmerized by the bag of cereal and continued (for about a half hour) to try and eat the whole bag (the outside).

She was waiting for more things to play with.

Her puppy winter hat :)

This next week, we'll be spending the whole week in northern Utah.  Justin will be with Avery and I, Saturday and Sunday.  And, Monday through Friday, Avery and I will be hanging out with my family.  We're really excited and have been starting to try and get a packing list together... WOW, packing for a whole week for a baby is NOT easy.  :P  Love you all!  Pictures from our trip will be posted on the next blog!

New changes for the new year!


Hey Everyone!

I know you've all missed seeing pictures and hearing about Avery.  I'm sorry I'm a slacker sometimes.  She's been doing great though!  The new huge changes include: having more balance while sitting, doing raspberry's every once in a while, rolling over (when she wants to) and learning how to roll back onto her back.  She's also very smiley and loves to babble.

Can I just say though... being a parent of a small 4 month old baby is really difficult!  I never really know if she's completely alright and I have a lot of moments of worry.  True, the joy that you get from having a baby overwhelmingly makes up for it.  But, it's just hard not being positive that she's just fine and healthy.

So, here are some pictures and videos of little Avery:

Her little smile :P


"Not sure what you're doing Mom... but I think I like the attention!"


 So, blogger is having some issues... or I am just inept with it.  Either way, sorry the videos and photos are all jumbled together. 

Well, I hope you guys have had a great start of a New Year.  Thanks for reading!
