Baby Girl Nursery

Here are a couple of pictures of Avery Lynn's nursery. I took these pictures a few days before she was born but I never got around to posting them. I'm saying that because you may notice the picture frames don't have pictures in them at the time I took these. They now have newborn pictures in them, but retaking pictures of the room now would require straightening it up so it looks presentable and it would require taking time to take the pictures and uploading them to the computer. All time I'd rather spend doing something else so you get older versions that still give you an idea of what we did with her room. We like it and I think she does too so we are happy!

Two Kids for Two Months

We are all still alive : - ) Which is an accomplishment I'd say. Honestly though, it really hasn't been too bad. We are all somewhat adjusted and most days go pretty well. Avery Lynn is doing well and growing like a weed. At her 2 month check up she weighed 11lbs 1oz (50th percentile) and was 25.2 inches (97th percentile). So it seems like she will be tall, or at least taller than me. She is social...like her big brother (and daddy too). She loves to talk and be talked to. She is always cooing and making baby sounds when she is happy. I initially figured that she wouldn't talk until she was like two or something because Caden is never ever quiet and I just figured she wouldn't be able to get a word in, but now I think that she may just fight him for it. Caden is a good big brother and as you see in the last picture he does his best to comfort her when she is sad. Well at least some of the time...other times her screaming and crying get the best of him and he starts yelling too....just to totally make me go insane. : - ) Because everyone knows it is overly helpful to have a yelling 2 yr old when you are trying to calm a screaming infant. Nice. Anyway here are some recent pictures.

Avery Lynn at 2 months. In a cute hat and a cute diaper cover that I made for a friend and she returned to me when her little girl out grew it.

She currently still has her blue eyes...we will see if they stay like Caden's did

She was happier sitting next to him than being held.

Caden and some stuffed bunny rabbits

We've had some nice weather so the other night we roasted marshmallows

And made some cookie smores

Big brother brought her a stuffed animal and was bouncing her...but didn't seem to help much. : )

Spare Time

HaHa...funny. There is no spare time in my world. Between feeding a baby, a 2 year old, diapers, pottying, crying, screaming, etc. I don't find much down time....imagine that. I am talking about Caden's spare time. Here are a few pictures of what he has been up to lately. As far as Avery Lynn goes, she is doing well. We go back to the doctor next week for her 2 month check up so I will try to post some info on her after that.

Watching a video with some of his stuffed animals. Videos are a life saver when you have to feed an infant. : - )

Playing with cousins! Tons of fun!


A new favorite is putting on all of Avery Lynn's bibs...at one time.

A shot up close...crazy kid. Whatever keeps him busy. : )

Posing for a picture with his baby sister

Great-Grandparents

We were able to make a trip back to Cape a couple of weeks ago and Avery Lynn was able to meet her great-grandparents for the first time. Here are some pictures that I took.
