Some More Cuteness

Okay...one more picture...

I said only one more!

My new favorite toy!

Where's Baby Avery?

The Worst Weekend Ever...

Wow...lets just begin with Food Poisoning is no fun!  Travis and I both went down for the count Saturday night which led to possibly the worst 24 hours we have ever endured together!  There was absolutely no way we could take care of Avery in that condition so we are incredibly blessed that we had friends who were willing to pick up our little love bug and take care of her for the day!  A huge thank you to Eileen and Dan who sent me pictures of Avery playing, napping, and even video from Bri of Dan and Johnson changing a poopy (I mean very poopy) diaper!  Things we learned this weekend -

1.  Pack more than one back up outfit if Avery will be gone for several hours!  Avery spit up or pooped on them enough that Eileen washed two outfits!

2.  Avery LOVES Similac!  I didn't have enough breast milk to send with them so we packed Similac and wished them luck.  This was Avery's first sample of anything not made by Mommy and she scarfed it down!  I guess we don't have to worry too much about her being a picky eater = )

3.  Never eat suspect eggs or turkey bacon.  I blame one of these as the culprit!

Honorable mentions go out to my Mom and Grandy Goodwin!  Mom was willing to catch a flight to ABQ if we couldn't find someone to help us out with Av, and Grandy Goodwin (technically Liesl's 'Grandy') was ready to take her if our babysitters needed a break.  Thank you so much!

I'll download some new pics of the fabulous four month old tonight! 

Avery is 4 Months Old Today!

First we started the day by showing off our super cute Froggy Pajamas!

Really could these feet get any cuter?

And then we celebrated in our big bow and brand new Padres jacket!

Avery and Grammy discussed which Hairston brother is their favorite...

But no matter how much baseball we talked we couldn't coax a smile out of this little girl!

But when you're this adorable in your pink Padres gear you don't have to smile to get ooh'd and aah'd all over = )

Avery celebrated the big 4 month mark with a milkshake while the adults celebrated with delicious mini-cupcakes!

These 4 months have been amazing and we are blessed with one adorable little angel!

Getting In Some Cuddle Time

On Grammy's lap...

And then on Daddy's lap...

Its tough but someone has to provide a lap for some cuddling!

Welcome Baby Cassidy!

I gave Siera 2 weeks before I made sure I got my hands on Baby Cassidy = )  And it was torture waiting that long!  She is super sweet and adorable!  It has only been 4 months but I can't believe Avery was ever that small!

I can't wait to go shopping for some sweet little baby clothes for Cassidy!

Your Daily Dose of Avery

 my heart belongs to daddy...

Its true!

Legs in the air...

And then you do the splits...

Mommy forgot to rotate these pictures before they were downloaded...sorry!

 The best napping spot in town!

That's all she wrote!

Multiple Outfit Mondays

Bri Bri got that right...I am definitely the Cutest Catch!

And one more I didn't get pictures of!  We had a messy Monday!

Saturday Travis and I bought Avery several new pajamas since she has outgrown all of her 3-6 month old ones.  Silly us, we bought her new ones in the 6-9 month size and will be returning half of them for 9 month size since she is almost too long for the 6 month!  I can't wait to get her new stats at her 4 month Dr. Appt!

Baby Play: 100 Fun-Filled Activities to Maximize Your Baby's Potential

We received this book by Gymboree as a gift from the Daly Family and have been introducing Avery to a new game every night as part of our evening routine!  We're all about maximizing Avery's potential = )  These are pictures from Tummy Bolster on page 71...building upper-body strength.

That was a lot of work...maybe we should stand for a bit...

Nevermind...sitting is best!

A little something else I've recently learned from Baby Play - Avery loves looking in mirrors now and I was wondering if she realizes that it is her reflection...  Answer:  She doesn't yet understand that the reflection in the mirror is her, and won't until she is fifteen to eighteen months old.  Who knew!  15 to 18 months old!

We Call This The Parenthesis

This is Avery's favorite move = ) About 5% of the time she actually rolls over onto her tummy but the other 95% of the time her one arm gets in the way! So...she spends much of her day happy to be in her parenthesis ; )

I also think these pictures are fantastic b/c they really showcase just how tall her crazy hair goes!




This is as close as she gets to tummy time these days now that she's a pro at rolling from her tummy to her back. I think she'll be rolling all over the place in no time = )

A New Outfit from Great Grammy Alsup!

Avery is so excited to fit into her outfit from Great Grammy now! It is crazy to watch her grow!




Avery and Miss Penguin get in some Tummy Time together (and show off a cute little booty)

Great Gramma & Great Aunt Susi

On our last day in California Great Gramma and Great Aunt Susi came up to Westlake Village with Grammy and Grampa to meet Av! This is one spoiled little girl!
