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!
