Happy 1 Month Birthday Avery!

We are going to celebrate with a trip up to Santa Fe this evening (weather permitting). We'll get in a delicious meal and hopefully Avery will sleep right through the celebration! And then tomorrow she can enjoy some steak flavored milk...

More Baby Avery!

Poor Avery has developed some baby acne = ( The good news is Dr. P says it should go away pretty soon and she'll be back to her overly-photographed self ; ) We snapped a pic of Avery hiding in her baby bjorn at Gymboree yesterday (adorable store!) and then a couple of shots of her adorable head gear. I'll definitely be getting more pictures of her out and about in her fabulous Auntie Shae Shae bows!

Happy 4 Weeks Old Day Avery!

I somehow lost my camera in the abyss that is my diaper bag (which I haven't even had to use yet, haha). But never fear, I have recovered the camera and new pictures of the princess will soon follow! Avery has a big day tomorrow...lunch with Daddy, Grammy, and Grampa (CPK salads, yum!) and dinner with my workout crew (ok, I haven't worked out with them in a long time but I had a pretty good excuse ; ).

I'll be sure to get a picture of Avery in her Baby Bjorn...aka one of the greatest baby inventions of all time! We are even more mobile now thanks to the bjorn = )

All About Avery

Now that Avery is 4 weeks old I thought I would post a few facts about this little girl = )

1. She's a grabber! Those hands and legs are strong and can go crazy on you ; ) So far her favorite things to grab are fingers (of course), my hair (which I just cut 2 + inches off of), and my Motherhood necklace (sorry Denno!)

2. She loves to fall asleep while eating. I like to call it sleep eating b/c she can be passed out on my chest but that little mouth just keeps going!

3. She is quite the exhibitionist...Avery loves naked time! I've never seen a baby who loved getting her diaper changed as much as this one. Ok, I don't have that much time with other babies, but Avery loves getting her diaper changed and especially loves any extra time you'll let her lay on the changing pad sans diaper!

4. Like any lady, Avery loves getting her hair washed. She does really great during bath time but she truly loves the last part when we wash her hair.

That's all for now = ) I'll keep the Avery updates coming!

Thursday Outfit

Babies R Us

Grammy, Avery, and I have a big outting this morning to Babies R Us! I think that store will be more dangerous now that Avery is here ; ) We're going for essentials but we'll see what we end up leaving with! This will be Avery's first real errand...we can add it to her small list of adventures - she has been on a walk and joined Travis and I at Flying Star for a quick lunch.

And the list continues to grow...

I knew it was going to be all about Avery...but now my 3 week old already has a nicer jewelry box than I do! I may have to borrow it until she's old enough to wear jewelry ; ) Thank you so much Kyle!!

3 Weeks Old Today!

I can't believe Avery is 3 weeks old today! These weeks are just flying by! Sorry for the lack of posts...this cold has knocked me out for too many days. I am definitely on the mend thanks to tons of naps this past weekend...hopefully I will be 100% soon.


Our little Dole Baby = ) So precious!

Avery, Remi, and I went on our first walk around the neighborhood today! Avery was one bundled up little girl = )

Proud Daddy!

Picky Paci Girl

We finally found a pacifier that Avery loves! We rec'd 4 different kinds of pacifiers as gifts and thank goodness for the variety = ) Who knew she'd be so picky!

This morning Avery and I went back to the pediatrician office to make sure she is packing on more weight. Good news! She has gone from 8 lbs 12 oz to 9 lbs 3 oz since Monday! That's my girl ; )

I seem to have caught a cold...

but that doesn't mean Avery's beautiful pictures must suffer = ) Here are a couple more...

She just didn't want to look at the camera ; )

We had to capture Avery's favorite pose while she sleeps...

I Love My Play Mat!

Avery loves her play mat and is already excelling at Tummy Time! We have some great footage...now Travis and I just need to learn how to download video ; )

We tried to introduce Avery to the pacifier...so far she is not having it! You can't trick this girl, she wants the real thing = )

Avery all bundled up for her 2 wk Dr. Appt

2 Week Postpartum Appt

I had my 2 wk postpartum appt today and everything is looking good! My blood pressure is back to normal and my uterus has contracted back to its original size = ) One more appt in 4 weeks and then I should be able to enter back into the real world!

Avery is definitely a Pineapple Princess...




We're working on Avery's Blue Steele look...not quite there yet ; )
