Avery and her bike!

This morning Aunt Paula(Pie) and Avery went outside to ride bikes and to mommy's surprise I looked out the window and Avery was pedaling her feet and moving that little pink bike of hers right along the driveway like a big girl. She was so proud of herself and had so much fun. Thanks Pie for helping Avery enjoy the little things in life!

Our little fat man!

Today Kellan had his 2 month doctors appointment and I find it so interesting that 2 kids can be so different from each other! Avery, our barely 24 pound 2 year old has a brother that is tipping the scale at 13 pounds .5 ounces this morning. Not only that but he is a tall one too at 24 1/4 inches and a head that is 39 3/4 inches. But he is a healthy, smiley boy!~

Kellan's stats are:

Weight: 13 pounds .5 ounces ~68th percentile
Heights: 24 1/4 inches ~93rd percentile
Head: 39 1/4 ~ 69th percentile


Avery's stats at 2months:

Weight: 9 pounds 5 ounces ~25th percentile
Height: 23 inches ~25th percentile

Avery's 1st day of PDO

So we did it! Avery and I survived our first morning away from each other for 4 hours.
Avery started PDO at one of the churches and she will be going one day a week, Thursdays, until May 2012. PDO stands for Parents Day Out and its a program that offers moms or dads the opportunity to drop off their children in a program taught by teachers for 1 or 2 days a week. This is something that I wanted to do as I feel like it is time for Avery to spend some time away from mommy in a social and structured setting so that next year when preschool begins the separation anxiety will not be as bad. I was very surprised to find that on her first day she ran into her new "school" with great excitement, bolted right for her "RED" classroom and off she was playing with the babies and pushing the stroller(surprise, surprise:) She did not have any tears, neither did mommy as she knew she was in good hands and she had fun! I gave her a kiss and reassured her I would be back and off I went(shopping of course).
When I picked her up at 1:30pm she was more than ready to see me and she had her BB and Baa Baa with her for comfort and the teachers said she got sad a few times but she did GREAT overall! What a big girl. I am so proud you Avery Grace!!

Do they look alike?



A look back.....



Labor Day weekend fun!
















On Monday the new family of 4 ventured out together for some fun at They had a petting zoo, games and jump houses for fun. Avery had a great time running around there like a monkey. Her favorite was this one particular jump house that had a slide that she went down at least 25 times.:)

Happy 7 weeks!
