Happy 1-Month Birthday! 7/25/10

As hard as it is for Mom and Dad to believe (where has the time gone?) Avery turned 1 month old today. To the left is the first of what will be 12 monthly pics showing Avery's growth over her first year. Below is a quick video of Avery on her playmat.

Someone turns 3 weeks old tonight at 11:15 pm. Question: Is it possible for a 3 week old baby girl to grow a Mullet? Avery is well on her way!

Pass the Popcorn! - 7/15/10

Avery can't make up her mind - Team Jacob or Team Edward? Avery and her friend Stella took their moms to the movies and saw the latest in the Twilight series.

We took Avery with us to Gordito's in Greenwood tonight for one reason and one reason only.....Hola Burrito Grande!

And there is the Belly Button! 7/9/10

Someone finally shed her umbilical cord! Look at that belly button!

Happy 2-week Birthday! 7/9/10

Avery turns 2 weeks old tonight at 11:15 pm! We are celebrating this along with the fact that she weighed in today at 7 lbs, 6 ozs at her Doctor appointment earlier today - a gain of almost 1 pound since last Friday!

Heatwave 2010 - 7/8/10

As temperatures reached 90+ degrees in Seattle, Avery looked for any relief she could get.

First Bath - 7/6/10

Finally - Avery took her first bath on Tuesday as Mommy did the scrubbing and Grandma Jen and Keith supervised. What a clean baby!

Happy 4th of July!

Saving her energy early to stay up for all the fireworks tonight!

Happy 4th of July!

Doctor's Office visit - 7/2/10

Earlier on Friday, Avery had another weigh-in at the Doctor's office. It looks like all of Lisa's hard work getting up and feeding Avery every 2 hours has really paid off. Avery gained 3.5 ounces from her appointment Wednesday to weigh-in on Friday morning! Great job Ladies!

To treat ourselves afterwards, we headed to - where else? Starbucks! Gotta start her early :)

Happy 1-week Birthday! 7/2/10

At 11:15pm tonight, Avery turned 1-week old! Unbelievable how the week has flown by!

Go Cougs! 7/1/10

So it came to my attention that there have been no photos of Avery in Coug gear. Problem solved. Note the matching slippers.

Doctor's Office visit - 6/29/10

Today was Avery's first visit to the Doctor. After a head to toe inspection, she was given the green light to enter society. She was also given her first shot, which caused a loud but brief crying session. Along with her first shot came her first band-aid.

Avery has really taken well to breast feeding and we expect her to start plumping up quickly. After a fresh meal from mommy, she gets that "milk drunk" look.
