Avery's 9 Month Check Up!

Avery had her 9 month check up today and its official - we have one happy and healthy baby on our hands!  Here are her new baby stats:

Weight - 19 lbs (47th percentile)

Height - 29 1/4 inches (91st percentile)

How do you keep a 9 month old entertained while at the Dr. office?  Let her empty out your purse one item at a time = )

Cell phone - check!  Always a favorite = )

Thank you Great Aunt Susi for the fabulous pumpkin bib!

Avery LOVED her apple cinnamon oatmeal for lunch today!

Grampa seems to have a camera in his hands almost as often as Mommy!

October's New Averyism...

We are so close to walking!  We've caught Avery standing on her own for very brief instances (usually resulting in a tumble after about 5 seconds) and she spent all day today pushing her walker/car around the house on her own = )  She's keeping everyone on their toes now!

Yes Avery, You Are Related To These Two Men...

Halloween costume shopping with Grampa Steve and Papa Doc!

These two get ridiculous around little girl princess costumes!

At least we all agreed that we have an adorable little ladybug on our hands!

Playing In Pajamas!

Avery likes to pull out each toy in her toy bucket...one at a time = )

Finger puppet books are the best!

Avery's Baptism

Getting ready for the big event!

My Mutti made this beautiful baptism gown out of HER wedding dress!

This is the point where Avery realized the day was all about her = )

Too precious

Papa Doc, Mutti, Daddy, Mommy, Uncle Mikey, Grampa

and a passed out baby Avery!

 Who needs a pillow when you have Mutti's shoulder...

Range Roundup anyone?  Yeah, a few of you reading this may know what that means!

Where To Begin?!

We've been one busy family!  I'll update with the major events tonight and then fill in the little pieces this week = )

The New Mrs. Patman!  Formerly Brianna Iversen = )

Ready to walk down the aisle!

Only Travis can pull off the tuxedo/bouquet look = )

Bri & J were married at Loretto Chapel so we had to take advantage of a picture by the staircase...

Absolutely the most beautiful wedding cake I have ever seen.  Truly a work of art that was of course DELICIOUS!

Mr. & Mrs. Johnson Patman

The dress...need I say more!

Sada & Reagan

The two most adorable flower girls EVER!

One beautiful Matron of Honor

And the gorgeous Bride and her dashing Dad

Cutting into the delicious Tres Leche cakes!

I failed to take many pictures but at least I got the major players = )  It was a beautiful ceremony and you can't beat a reception at Hotel Albuquerque - amazing!

Kickin It Tuesday Style

Avery was showing off her designer jeans today (okay, that's just what Auntie Shae Shae calls them)

What?  You want me to pose for a picture?

Okay, I'll do my 'I'm too cool to look into the camera' pose

Oh my, you caught me reading again.  I prefer books on CD...they taste better!

Thanks for stopping by!

Avery's Bedtime Schedule

Splish Splash Avery's taking a Bath

I LOVE bath time so much...wish I could take 3 baths a day!

Followed by lotion and pajama time!

I'm supposed to be reading a book with Mommy right now but this hanger is much too exciting to pay attention to a book...

And delicious...

Okay, but what if we read my book instead!

Such A Big Girl!

Avery is such a big girl now - she loves getting her 2 teeth brushed!

And someone is ready for HALLOWEEN!!!!  Bring on the adorable outfits!

Mommy's Little Pumpkin...playing with her Easter Bunny (its tough to keep all these holidays straight!)

There's a little pumpkin in the Family Room...

And in the kitchen...

Being too adorable = )

Mommy's Little Monster

Yes Mommy, that's right - I am too cute for words!
