"Snuggle"

Lately Avery has been so snuggly! She'll bring me her blankey and curl up in my arms and say, "Snuggle, snuggle," I just love it! It really tugs on my heartstrings knowing that she can come and get something she needs/wants from me...like a snuggle. Makes me feel like I'm doing my job right. :) Right now, my hope chest is sitting in front of the window in our living room. Avery will put her blankey on it, climb up on to the chest and "snuggle, snuggle" her blankey. I caught a few shots of this last night:

This last shot is my favorite since she decided to sneak a smile in with her snuggle!

Under Construction...Again!

Yes, I'm playing around with banners and backgrounds right now for this blog. I'm just not happy with how it looks...so bare with me... Hopefully it will look cute soon. It's just so plain right now...grrrrrr! :) Anyways... Avery and I finally made it outside yesterday. It was so sunny out, but so cold! We weren't out for very long but I snapped a few cute ones of my little bug. I still can't get over how blue her eyes are!

She absolutely LOVES checking the mail, so here she is with her mail (or should I say treasures?) :) I think it's so precious how the simplest things make her so happy!

She's a Gymnast!!

Avery started Gymnastics last Monday, but today her daddy got to participate with her and mommy got to snap pictures! I won't waste any space describing to you how much Avery LOVES it... the pictures will speak for themselves!

"I know I can do this (with some help from my Daddy)!"

"Boy, this one's tricky!"

"I did it!!"

I'm afraid the next phrase out of this sweet girl is going to be:

"Trampoline, Avee's house! Peees?"

The pics. are a little grainy thanks to the high ISO as I was adjusting after each shot to get this yucky indoor light thing figured out!! Practice makes perfect eventually, right? Have a super day!!

It's been a while...

...since I've posted! Talk about busy!! Since Christmas it's been non-stop around here, but I'm back and my camera is out again! Christmas was wonderful at our house. Unfortunately I don't have many pictures. Avery had so much fun on Christmas morning and I was so busy enjoying every second with my family that I didn't take a lot of pics.

In other exciting news... Avery is going to be a big sister! We found out soon after Thanksgiving and couldn't be happier! I'm officially 9 weeks pregnant today. We had our first peek at the baby and of course we're even more excited! I'm finally starting to feel a little better. Not as tired and nauseous which is a welcome relief!

Stay tuned for more pictures!!
