old stuff

When I made the slideshow of december pics I ran across my old account on slide.com I found this old slideshow I made back in January of 2007! Almost 3 years ago! I just had to post it.... Enjoy

We look so young! :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

2009 was quite a year for the Rhodes family! We are looking forward to whats in store for 2010! Here is a slideshow of some December pics... Just a few :)

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all our friends and family!

2 months cont

Avery had her 2 month check up today!! She weighed in at 11 lbs 1 oz!! Which put her at almost the 60th percentile for weight! She grew to 21 inches which keeps her in the 25th percentile for length! She also got her first shot :( which was not fun! She was all smiles before though... Before the shot After! she was pooped! Her doctor says she looks great! She told me to stay off dairy for another month and then slowly introduce a little at a time.

2 months

My Baby girl is 2 months old today!!! She has her 2 month check up tomorrow! I can't wait to see how much she has grown! Here are some pics of her at 2 months old; She was looking at daddy!! he was getting her to smile! She was about to fall over but finally gave me a little smirk!

Ooooklahoma

We finally made it to Oklahoma on Saturday, the drive wasn't too bad. Only took us about 30 minutes more than normal! We had a fabulous dinner Sat night with my family and also celebrated Christmas! Sunday I got to have lunch with the girls for our annual christmas dinner (although this time it was lunch!). We also had to get me a new phone.... ahh drama. This was my 2nd iphone to burn itself up in 2 months. The last one I got 2 weeks ago! Its a little frustrating! But I'm back in business now! My grandparents came to visit Monday afternoon! It was great to see them both! We had to leave early on Tuesday because they were forecasting SNOW again in dallas! Simply amazing, its snowed 3 times this december. Here are just a few pics... Wish I had taken more!!! Chelsea and Avery Melissa, Avery and I Melissa, Avery and Teresa

Merry Christmas

Merry Christmas!! We had a great time last night with the Rhodes family. We were planning on driving up to oklahoma this morning but there was this weather problem... i think its called a Blizzard!!! I can't remember the last time there was snow on christmas! We are waiting for the roads to clear and the interstates to open in oklahoma before we try to drive up. We miss you guys but we'll see you eventually! :) Avery has really been showing us her smiles today. I love them. Here is a pic of her from today.... She is 8 weeks 1 day old! I think she has my smile, her eyes squint like mine! LOOOVE HER!

belly pics

This post is a little late but I finally got all the belly pics in order!! its amazing how big i got!!! click here to see! :)

Christmas time!!!

I gave Avery a mini photo shoot today in her Christmas outfit! She didn't last very long but I did manage to get a few cute shots! I'd get about a 30 second window to snap some shots before the paci had to be put back in!!! :) She sure loves the pacifier! Just like her Momma! We are very excited about Avery's first christmas! we will be spending christmas eve with the Rhodes family and driving up to oklahoma christmas morning to see my family. we are hoping to see papa and mommom over the weekend. melissa, teresa and i are also getting together for our annual christmas dinner (although this year it may be breakfast!)!! Busy but fun week ahead! Merry Christmas to you all! p.s. thanks Gigi for the adorable outfit!! :)

bumbo

Avery tried out her bumbo seat for the first time this week! @ 7 weeks old she is growing so fast i can hardly believe it! She smiles more often although they are still random and we haven't gotten her to smile at us yet. Check out those chubby cheeks!!! Update: Avery has gotten much better with her gas pains. I stopped eating diary and any other foods that are gassy. It seems to be working. Its not much fun for me bc i usually eat alot of dairy but hopefully it'll just be for a few months. Now we're just looking forward to her sleeping through the night.... but who knows when that will be!!

playdate

Avery and Ella got together for another "playdate" today! Here is a short video of the 2 of them!! They are getting so big so fast!

Month 1

I have been wanting to take pictures each month to see how much Avery is growing. I finally got her bear that I ordered in, he is huge! I was trying to decide where to take the pic of both of them. Thats why there are 2! My friend Karisa told me about the stickers for each month. I didn't get them before her 1 month birthday but still took her picture at 1 month 1 week. standyby for another in 2 weeks! :)

6 weeks

Today Avery Jo is 6 weeks old. I captured this video this morning, one of the few times she is not plagued by gas pains! She loves to look at the elephant picture over her changing table. Check out the cute smiles and coos! PLEASE disregard my voice, I hate hearing myself on camera!

behind

I am way behind on blogging!! sorry everyone. I will be posting some new pics soon! Avery will be 6 weeks tomorrow! hard to believe. she has been battling really bad gas pains and that keeps me pretty busy trying to console her. I'm cutting dairy and food that cause gas out of my diet to see if its something that I'm eating that bothers her. Hopefully in another week she'll be doing much better. She is such a happy baby when she isn't in pain. :( She is also putting on weight and getting quite the buddha belly! here is a quick pic till I can upload more....

**SNOW**

Ave's first snow day! It didn't stick and has already melted but it was very cool to wake up to a winter wonderland!
