Meme and Papa say their good-byes..

I had such a great week having Meme and Papa here and today it was time for them to leave. This picture shows how I feel about that........
"WHAT???? You have to leave and go back to Springfield??????"

"Ok I think I'll be fine with just having mommy and daddy around but I like it the other way better"

"I will miss you and can't wait to see you in October!"

Rub a dub dub... mommy put me in the tub!

And although I did not like my bath the 1st time I tried it... I really didn't mind the next couple of times because mommy tried this other bath tub that is much easier for me to lay down in and it is softer for me.... Now that my belly button is all healed up I am ready to brave a full bath I think...Stay tuned for that!

Wooooooo... mommy catch me I am going to fall!!!!...

Here I am getting my hair washed...next up is when mommy brushes my hair. I love that part of the bath routine! Pretty soon I'll be wanting highlights just like my mommy gets at the salon!

Finally the letters are up!

After 9 months of waiting to put up the letters in Avery's room.. mommy finally gets around to doing it today. The room is now complete!

Family Picture time!

Tonight mommy and daddy went out on their first date since having me.... Before they left me in the hands of my favorite Meme and Papa they decided it was time for one of those photo shoots again... So here we are the happy family of 3:) and in case you have lost track.. I am 16 days old today!! I am growing like a weed, sleeping all day long and up all night long( I think I get this from my mommy)...
Love, Avery

Meme and Papa come to visit!!

Week 2 and my first shopping trip with mommy and meme... We went downtown to the farmers market to get some vegetables and fruit but we had the wrong time so we have to go back. Here I am ready to go and spend mommy and daddy's money:)

Meme holding me. We are enjoying the weather outside... It's been so nice here for August.. only in the mid 80's during the day....I love to get out in the sunshine!

Here she is... The one and only... MEME!!!

AND the one and only PAPA!!

AND my big girl belly button!

Week 2 has started out quite exciting for Avery. On Sunday August 23rd she officially lost her umbilical cord.. Mommy was feeling a bit sad as that was the last sign of how she survived for 9 months in her belly....Avery wanted to post a picture of her big girl belly button:)

Then we went to the doctors on Monday to make sure we were gaining weight and that our jaundice was getting better!! We got an A+ report card. We are officially back to our birth weight of 7 pounds and 10 ounces and our jaundice level went way down.. YEAH for us!! Mommy has been making sure I get plenty of milk and I am one happy baby when my belly is full!

In addition to all this excitement Meme and Papa are here and I have been getting lots of love from them. They have been taking me for walks, feeding me bottles and talking to me lots. I love all the stimulation for sure! Thanks Meme and Papa!

Mommy got crazy today....

And had what she called an 11 day photo shoot up in my very own room.... She even put this pretty bow on me that I got from my friend Bailey and her mom and dad... What do you think? Mommy says I am such a pretty girl....

What do you think?

Mommy thinks that I look just like my daddy as a baby.. You be the judge:)
