Black & White patterns

I just had to post some of these new pictures of Avery - they are some of my favorite! In these pics she is staring at her mobile above her bed. Babies see black and white patterns very well and Mom and I made black and white patterns and taped them to the bottom of her mobile and she follows Tigger and Eeore around in circles. It is too funny! I haven't seen her so entranced in something. She loves the patterns!

Patrizio's

Mommy & Avery - we went to the Dr. last Friday and Avery now weighs 9 pounds 12 ounces! So much for worrying about the weight loss! She went from the 10th percentile in weight to the 25th percentile and now the 70th Percentile! I just love little chubola babies! Avery is sleeping great! She sleeps between 5 and 6 hours a night! Which is great for me!!! But, she is only sleeping on her left side so she is getting a little bit of a flat head on the left side. The Dr. said she needs to start alternating. Well so much for sleeping on the right side! She HATES it. Just hates it! So we have to use a rolled up towel behind her back to force her to go to the right! This will be a daunting task!

Meeting Amanda for the first time at Patrizio's! She was perfect and pretty much slept the whole time! This was one of her few awake moments!

Pics from Chicago Trip

Instead of ride a little pony - Avery played ride a little bellie with Uncle Nick!

Uncle Nick!!!!!!! She loves Uncle Nick, just like the dogs do!

Ave outgrew her newborn pj's while we were in Chicago! I bought her some tie dyed pj's and she looked pretty cute!

My sleeping (of course) little angel!

She scratched her cheek with her sharp little fingernails! Ouch! We quickly filed her little fingernails down, pretty difficult to do as she hates that!

Avery's First Plane Trip

We just took Avery on her first plane trip to Chicago to get out of the hot steamy weather in Dallas! We didn't know how she would do on the plane, but of course...she just slept! She didn't cry once and we were very relieved! She just slept in Daddy's lap the whole way!! Everyone on the plane thought she was pretty cute and such a good traveler. Good job Ave!

1 Month Old!!!

Avery is now one month old! I can't believe it! She is still a HUGE sleeper, and truly a perfect baby (knock on wood). We have taken her to many restaurants and lots of other places and she just sleeps away! Her favorite things to do are EAT, EAT and EAT!

Frog Legs!

Lily actually put herself next to Avery! Sweet babies! I am very proud of my dog for being so sweet and actually interacting with Avery! We never thought we would see Lily again once the baby came...we thought she would hide under the table forever!

I lover her cute little legs in this picture!

Avery's First Swim

Baby Bird Avery!

This is my favorite picture of Avery in awhile! So alert and smiling! She went swimming for the first time yesterday with Nathan. It was just a quick swim since you cant put sunscreen on a baby until 6 months old! She liked the water!!! I think Anna and I had more fun taking pictures of her in her swimsuit!

A few more pics!

2nd Week!

Avery is such a joy! We just love having her around and we feel like we are "getting to know" he more now that she is much more alert and awake! She is still a huge sleeper! She is also a BIG eater! She sounds like a little piggie snorting when she gets hungry it is pretty cute! She has started opening her eyes more. The Dr. says you have to give babies tummy time so they learn to hold their neck up and strengthen their neck muscles. Let's just say Avery HATES tummy time. We have definitely learned how loud her vocals can get! She will scream herself to sleep on her tummy!

First Bath

Avery loved her first bath! She loves the warm water, but hates being cold!
