Turkey Day!

Well, this year we headed up to Sacramento for Thanksgiving. We left at 10 pm so that Avery would sleep in the car. It worked like a charm. We had tons of fun hanging out with Jeffs family and we had a great Thanksgiving dinner. While we were in Sac we got to hang out with all my old room mates from school. The pic on the right in Avery and Zoe. She is my room mate Janelle's baby and is about 7 months old. How cute!

This is Jeffs family all at the table feasting on some dang good food.

All ready for bed after a busy day. She finally fits her bunny slippers. My dad got those for her and I can remember putting them on her when she was first born and her ankles looked like sticks coming out of the ends of the slippers. Now they fit.. Yeah.

I decided to give Avery a bath in the sink. It just seemed easier than in the tub. Look at all those rolls!!!

I am not so good at remembering to post on our blog. So this is whats new with our family. Avery is 3 months now and is getting cuter every day. I love how much she smiles, especially in the morning. I am still staying home with her and am loving being a mommy. We are also moving on the 10th of December to a nicer, bigger house. I am so excited to finally set up a nursery for Avery and have room for all of our stuff. Life is great for all of us. We are excited for Christmas. It is my favorite holiday, so we are going to be staying here in Hanford with my family. I hope everyone is doing well!!

Ok, I know these are not family pictures, but come on. They should be. Anyways, in the abscence of new family pics, here are some really cute bulldogs I helped deliver. We did just take some dang cute fam pictures and I cant wait to get them back so I can show everyone. Oh, and the big picture up top is my two sisters and I in Mexico. I know its huge. Thats so you all can enjoy it more.

Ok, so I love bulldogs. This picture was taken when I worked for a Vets office here in town. One of the vet techs was breeding her bulldog and they have to be delivered by C-section, so, I totally got to help. It was so cool. This is a picture of me in a kennel holding a puppy at about 4 wks.

Fun Project

So, since I am staying home with Avery. Its been fun to do some baby projects. One on them is doing these plaques. They are so cute. Anyways, here they are. (Janelle, these are the ones!!)

Ouch!

Today was Avery's 2 month shots. Ouch!! She is getting so big. She was 12.4 lbs today and 23 3/4 inches. Which puts her in the 90th % for weight and 75th% for length. I felt so bad because she looked so sad after her shots. She has pretty much been sleeping since. When she wakes up she just cries. I know her poor legs just hurt. Anyways, here are some pics.

Just hanging out. She doesn't even know whats coming.
Not very happy after the shots. Her poor legs. Good thing shes got some meat on those bones because it could have been a whole lot worse.

Blessing Day

Going to the car on our way to church.

Blessing Day!!! Yeah. She was so cute in her little white dress. We had all of Jeffs family down for her blessing. It was really nice to see everyone and for Avery to see her new relatives.

This needs to happen to every mom!

So, I have officially been pooped on. I was changing Avery's diaper the other day and she waited for the best time and then up and pooped on my hand. I have to admit, I literally screamed and Jeff had to take over so I could go wash my hands. It was so funny. I was noticing as I was putting pictures up for everyone that I have very few pictures of Avery and I. I guess I am always the one holding the camera. I really need to fix that. Some advice for all the moms out there, hand the camera to someone else and get some candids with your baby's!! Halloween was fun for us. It was the first time that we left Avery and went out. It was hard for me but she did just fine with grammy and grampa. Anyways, I hope everyone had a good holiday. We send our love/

A litte backtracking

She never unclenches those fists. Shes a born boxer!

This is out little bananna. She went to see daddy at the office. She was swimming in her costume. The poor thing hated it.

This is my cute baby on Halloween.

Avery hanging out with her papa.

I just could not resist. She fit so good in the pot.

IF only I could figure out how to rotate this picture. But check out her double chin. It cracks me up.

Her feet are so little. Well, they are actually big for a newborn, but still so cute and small. She has big hands too. Taking after her mamma.

They always sleep when you want them to wake up. Here is Avery on her first day of church and she is totally konked out!

This is Avery about 1 week old. Just doing her tummy time.
