bye lo my baby

just like daddy

avery has a toddler bed in her room that she does a great job of sleeping in, but sometimes she wakes up in the middle of the night, and we usually just bring her into our bed. she is a big snuggler, which daddy & mommy love, love, love!







suprisingly, she slept through daddy's snoring right in her ear. although, she snores too... :)






i can't get over how long her legs and arms are. she's growing so fast! i love the moments where we get a glimpse of the baby she used to be... but even more precious are the tiny indications of who she will become. being a parent is the most exciting, rewarding, challenging thing ever!

soon to be four

i do it myself!

avery loves to dress herself...but especially in the case of pants,

it doesn't always work out so well for her...

i know this is "avery's blog", but i thought maybe you'd like to see a recent picture of baby Q... we are 33 weeks pregnant!

happy birthday baby!

avery's 2!
birthday kisses!

papa & van came over for a little breakfast celebration - we had a waffle "cake" and a few presents and balloons!

daddy got "finding nemo"
she had no idea what it was, but was excited all the same :)

fancy candy jewelry- thank you Kitty!!

isn't she beautiful?

she has really made the last two years of our lives the most incredible, wonderful times - we never could have imagined how amazing it would be! we are so blessed!

in recent news...

we've been really low-key lately due to my being bedridden for the last month (baby Q is fine, but my body is a little broken :) SI joint dysfunction sure takes a long time to heal...) thank God for peter, family & friends who have kept me going :) anyways, because of that, we haven't had alot going on.

here's a peekaboo video:

nana brought over some disguises for avery & mommy to play with:

and these are a little bit older...

from when i could still feed avery lunch in the kitchen, and not off my bed :), i think she looks adorable, and she was so funny checking herself out in the mirror.

we sure do love that she is such a snuggler!
