Pretty New Bows!

Avery wanted to show off how pretty she is looking this morning in her green pajamas and pretty new bow = ) Thanks Cheryl!

Thursdays With Mommy...

Avery attempting to eat her entire fist!

All Smiles!

Avery is smiling up a storm these days! Our goal this weekend is to finally get some good smiling pics and to pull out the video camera and capture some of the fun. The only problem with the video camera is that you will then be able to hear the ridiculous nonsense sounds I make to elicit that beautiful smile = )

No big plans this weekend...although I think I have my first volleyball game post-baby tomorrow! Time to check the schedule and make sure my team still wants me = ) Have a fabulous weekend!!

The Piece de Resistance

Avery's 1st Valentine's Day

A Very Girlie Tuesday!

Miss Avery and Miss Bri...

Avery, Bri and I spent today in Santa Fe checking out wedding venues!! Bri and Johnson are getting married in October and the Steele ladies just can't wait = ) The venues we toured today were absolutely gorgeous...I have no idea how Bri will choose!

You know you've missed her the last few days...

Avery's First Bottle!

I'm not quite sure why we were worried that she might not take a bottle...Avery loved her first bottle with Daddy and downed it in about 3 minutes. We had to snap the pictures fast b/c that breastmilk was gone in no time!





And this is my attempt to show off one of our favorite Avery-isms...she tucks her thumb under her finger. So adorable!


And the little girl is starting to smile and it is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen! Travis and I will try to capture one on camera soon = )

Can't Get Enough Of Her

She Loves Her Outfits!

Avery found a way to get in an extra outfit change yesterday thanks to her incredibly dirty diaper after dropping off Melissa at the airport ; )

And I'm Back In The Game!

I had a great 6 week postpartum appointment and have been cleared to finally start working out again and play volleyball! Today was my first attempt back on the treadmill...I'm easing back into exercise so I only did one mile but I'm happy to say it wasn't that bad! I am definitely out of shape but hopefully I can slowly increase my mileage.

And the BIG news of the day...Avery slept 6 hours straight last night!!! I love that little girl = ) It looks like she is working on her smile so hopefully soon she'll be melting hearts with her adorable little grin.

Fun With Melissa & Remi

Our Dr. Pooper

Mama Bear and Baby Bear

Look at how itty bitty Avery's jacket is compared to mine! So adorable = )

So Excited!

Avery is so excited that Missy gets into town tomorrow for her first Avery visit! I promised Avery that we can pick out her airport pickup outfit today if she behaves = )

Another fantastic night...pretty soon Miss Avery will be sleeping thru the night and we can move her into her real crib in her adorable nursery! She slept a little over 5 hours, ate her late night snack and then slept 2.5 hours more just in time to wake up and eat breakfast with Daddy.

And on a side note - I have my 6 week postpartum appt tomorrow morning! Hopefully I will get the green light to start working out again. Do you think they'll let me start playing volleyball yet? = )
