Another new tree

I have been wanting to make a tree for Avery's room for a long time now and thought that I should get it done before this new baby comes. It is not finished yet because I am planning on putting longer branches on it and some bird nests and birds. But I am pretty happy with it. Thanks to my mom and sister I was able to get done in a few days what would have taken me at least a week by myself.

31 weeks and counting

Its official, I feel like a fat kid. I remember getting to this point when I was pregnant with Avery and just feeling like everything was getting harder to do. I am having a good pregnancy though and I really have nothing to complain about. The doctor says that all is well and that everything looks great.

At the park

Flippies, flops, mommies shoes.. whatever you call them, our little one loves them. While we were in Utah, we lost one of Avery's shoes and I didnt think that it would be a big deal, but I was so wrong. She kept telling me, "Mommie, one shoe, one shoe. Oh, no!" It turns out, if she does not have her flippies to wear, then just just wears mine. So, we had to order her some more.

Red car, white truck, red baby bus, tractor... these are just a few of the things that I hear in the back seat while I am driving. Avery knows her colors and loves using them to describe the cars, trucks and busses that we pass. It is very cute to hear her talk about what she sees.


Avery runs everywhere, literally. Every once in a while I go on a walk with a friend of mine and there Avery is just running next to the stroller. HA!

Swings, swings, swings... why is it that now that Avery can run around and play on her own, she loves the swings. But when she was little and could not walk around, she just hated the swings. Go figure. She sure is loving the big girl swings now though and she rides them every way possible.
