Summer At The Pool

Grammy and Grampa are in town for a month and I got to go play at the pool in their condo complex!  Check out my pink bikini from Auntie Shae Shae!

35 Year Anniversary!

Monday we got to celebrate Grammy Joyce and Grampa Steve's 35 Year Wedding Anniversary!  We went out for a delicious dinner at Savoy and brought our own entertainment...Avery = )  Av has now figured out how to blow very messy (and loud) raspberries!  By the time the adults had finished their salads Avery was covered in baby spit from head to toe.  The best was the glistening spit on her beautiful little eye lashes!  I'm afraid we may have encouraged the spitting by our laughing so hopefully we didn't annoy too many other patrons at the restaurant.

This is where the entertainment took place...

And of course by the end of the meal Av found her way to Grammy and Grampa's laps...

We Love Our High Chair!!

Camera Meet Mouth

This is what happens when your subject just wants to put the camera in her mouth...

Avery's New High Chair!

Somebody finally got a high chair...and she loves it!  Technically Travis go the high chair for his 30th birthday from my parents, but he has graciously allowed Avery to use it = )

Avery has moved on to fruits this past week and I am very worried that she may not actually be my child...she doesn't like fruit?!  I'm not quite sure how that is possible considering the amount of fruit I ate while pregnant, but so far peach and apple have nothing on her love of veggies.  I gave her green beans today to bring back an old favorite and it was hilarious to see how eager she was to get back to the vegetables!

Apples again, eh...

Bumbo Love

Either I'm getting bigger...or this Bumbo sure is shrinking!

Groovy Uncle Dan & Aunt Staci

Avery had some fabulous visitors last week - Uncle Danny & Aunt Staci!  D&S came into town last Tuesday and were immediately put to work entertaining Avery = )  I cannot thank them enough for helping out all week long!  Who knew Danny could change a diaper with the best of them!  And thank goodness for Staci who is a pro with babies!  Unfortunately I failed to get in a real photo shoot so here is the one lonely picture of their visit.

I can't decide if I should make fun of Danny for boring Avery to sleep or for exhausting her with all the play time...I'll let you come up with your own interpretation = )

Sleeping Beauty

I may not have had my camera...but that doesn't stop me from capturing the sleeping beauty during her afternoon nap.  Not the best quality but my cell camera will work just fine!

Avery - 2 Remi - 0

It has finally happened...Avery has discovered how delicious Remi's toys are!  Now that Avery has down the army crawl we're all in trouble - including Remi.  Last night I left Avery on her blanket while I went to move the laundry from the washer to the dryer.  Next thing I know Avery has Remi's favorite red toy in her mouth and Remi is just sitting there watching it happen.  I thought I had until Avery is a teenager before I had to start worrying about washing her mouth out with soap = (

D-I-S-G-U-S-T-I-N-G

And no, not only did I not have my camera b/c it had been held hostage in Trav's car the last two days - but I also didn't waste a moment getting that toy out of her hands ; )  Not exactly a photo op...however if it happens again I suppose I could have good blackmail for the future!

The Avery/ Remi scoring began here.
