I Heart Technology

Lets see...Ipod or Cell Phone...


First I'll play Words With Friends with Auntie Shae Shae...

And then call all my friends...

Oh, Hi Mommy!  I didn't see you there with your camera...

She Learned This Look from Daddy...

Pampered Chef

Who knew when I bought these wooden kitchen spoons they would double as a delicious teething toy!

Pool Time With Dadddddy!

Avery finally got Travis in the water!
And she has finally figured out how to recline in her floatie!
This is the only way to swim!
Papadoc will be so proud that I caught this fish = )
It is so much fun to kick my legs under water!
That's a wrap!

We Have Teeth!!

Avery has 3 teeth coming in!  In an effort to capture a picture of these little pearly whites I caught some Avery cuteness....but no teeth, haha!
Close, but no cigar!
PS - I just googled this expression...it dates back to the mid-20th century when fairground stalls gave out cigars as prizes and was first recorded in print in 1935's Annie Oakley.  Just a little knowledge for ya ; )

Week Three, Day Two

Time for another pushups update!  Just making sure my ladies are still on track with this 6 week program = )  I am on Week 3 Day 2 today (one day behind but my excuse is that we spent as much time yesterday at the pool and dinner at Grammy & Grampa's so who has time for pushups then)!  I am absolutely noticing a difference - but still just about face planting by the end of the last set!

Trying to make a break for it!
We have one water baby on our hands = )

Pictures For Missy

Melissa requested pictures of Avery yesterday and I failed to download them in time for a post yesterday!  So this one's for you Missy!
-Avery talking during the picture-
Finally a coy little smile!

Time For More Avery-isms

August Avery-isms:

Splashing in the water - fun; doing the same motion while eating green beans - fun for Avery, super messy for Mommy! Avery has discovered the joys of smacking your hand against different surfaces = ) Beth & Avery both got an outfit change after today's veggies.

Gigglefest August - this month the thing that makes Avery giggle most is Mommy & Daddy acting like they are falling on top of her and then stopping right before we collide. Avery used to startle so easily so it really surprises me that she LOVES this game!

In a room full of toys Avery still has the ability to zero in on the cell phone or remote control in the room. Apparently there is nothing more desirable to put in your mouth than:
1. Remote control
2. Cell phone
3. Cord to computer
We're in trouble since obviously none of these are allowed in Av's mouth

Favorite toy this month - anything she can chew on since Avery is well into teething. Who knew the free teething binky from the hospital would be so cherished! Avery especially likes to knock down her building blocks and then chew on them individually. According to Grammy the blue circle is her favorite.

Last month Av's favorite pasttime was blowing very messy wet raspberries...this month she enjoy sucking, clicking, and sticking out her tongue. Its definitely all about finding new things you can do with your tongue this month!

This Is What Happens....

When you watch way too much HGTV during maternity leave!
Steve, Joyce, and I started our first HGTV project this week!  Steve cut the tile, I laid the tile, and Joyce babysat and supervised = )  Now that I think about it...Joyce got off easy!  We removed the carpet at the entry way from our garage and replaced it with tile.  I got hooked on HGTV during my exhausted first months of motherhood and this project is hopefully the first of many.  Even a small area like this is quite a bit of work but I am really enjoying improving our home!  We'll take care of the grout tomorrow and finish the project on Sunday = )

Oh Dear...

I was emailed this picture today while on a conference call...

if she had made it all the way to Remi's water bowl I would have had to hang up!

Fun In the Sun


Remi prefers the shade...
