Giggles For Grandma

90th Percentile! And Other Stuff...

Wow, we are behind in our posts! Hopefully, this will update all of you with some random happenings and pictures.

Avery had her two month checkup, and was extremely healthy, hale and hearty. She is really striving to fit in with her parents, as she was at that point in the 90th percentile for weight at a hefty 12 pounds. :) We think she might have doubled that by now. ;) She had her shots, and took them in stride.

Renee is back at work, building a better America by teaching the youth of today. Avery loves Ms. Teresa, her babysitter, but is still always happy to see Mom and Dad at the end of the day.

Avery also had a beach weekend at our favorite city, Charleston. She loved the water and the the sand, and was all smiles the whole time!

Grandma McKerrow came to visit for a week, and we all had a great time. Avery loved her too, and Grandma thought that Avery was her custest, bestest, smartest and adorablest grandbaby ever, or at least until the next grandbaby arrives. And of course, those are my words, not hers, and she feels that way about each of her grandbabies.

Not much exciting is going on, just the quiet joys of daily life and watching a baby grow. Enjoy the pictures!

Eight Weeks Old!

September 10, 2009

Tummy time is made a little easier if you stick your tongue out.

She's Growing!

Photo taken in our hotel room in St. Louis.
Same outfit...looks a little different.

I decided after I put this on her that this was truly the last time I'd make her squeeze into those "premie" shorts and the "newborn" onesie.

Another walk at University Lake...this time Avery slept the whole time.

Multitasking Daddy

Labor Day

Avery looking cute in her outfit from Uncle Justin and Auntie Jill.
Shawn and I spent the morning cleaning the house and then in the afternoon we went to Concord Mills mall where we met Christina, Phoenix, Karra, and Hannah. For some reason Phoenix loves hanging out in Avery's stroller.

They came back to the house later and Matt joined us for supper...tacos.

Christina and Avery.

Avery's 1st Convention

Chilling in her stroller.

All dressed up Sunday morning before leaving the house.

Avery's first convention was at Denton. We drove up for the evening meetings and then for the weekend. She did really well...sleeping during most meetings and awake in between. We enjoyed our time in meeting this year and know that next year when she's running around will be a lot more challenging.

Seven Weeks Old Already

Thursday September 3, 2009

Avery is 7 weeks old! She loves to smile and sometimes makes little cooing noises. She continues to love playing on her activity mat and is now grabbing for the toys a lot more. She never misses a meal and always drains all 4 ounces from her bottle. She has continued to be a pretty good sleeper...getting up once or twice a night to be fed. We have noticed that instead of being up for an hour each time, now we're usually down to 30-40 minutes. Overall, she's a very happy baby and we are very happy parents!
