I've been slow...

...Literally! I'm waddling around like a fat goose these days and feeling like there's no end in sight!!! I technically have 3 more weeks to go. I need to get past Sunday and then I'll be doing whatever I can to get this precious little one OUT OF ME!! Ha ha ha!! Anyways, Avery's getting awfully bored with mommy these days. I've been instructed to stay pretty close to home so that doesn't leave us many options for activities. Daddy takes her to the park and museum when he has a day off, which she really enjoys, but being home with mommy all day I get a lot of this to deal with:


and how can I blame her? Her facial expression here is probably how I look all day too! Ha ha!! But we'll continue to hang in there! Think "contracting" thoughts for us!!

It's Been Awhile...

...since I've posted and a lot has happened! While we're anxiously awaiting our "Baby Sissy", she's seemed a little anxious to make her appearance lately! But all is well and we're doing great! Just taking things easy for sure! Here's a few cute shots of Avery playing at the beach and the park last week (while I was still able to take her to do fun things....) :):)

All Boy!

Look at this little guy! This is Avery's cousin Camden who's 3 months older than she is. Gotta love his shirt!

His shirt (and pizza face) does the talking!!

Avery is 2!!

One year ago... ...and over the weekend!
Everyone told us, and still does, that the time flies when you have a little one. And boy does it! It's such an understatement. I can't believe Avery is two years old. She continues to amaze me everyday whether it be with her vocabulary (which is probably larger than mine) and the way she puts sentences together, her compassion for people she cares about, her constant wonder about the world around her, and lately, her manners! She can be a very polite little girl and I swear sometimes it's a switch that she just flips on on a whim. But her manners and sweetness are so precious to us, when they show themselves (which is quite often lately!!). Avery had her birthday party on Saturday and had a blast! She got so many cute outfits and fun toys. It was a wonderful day. We had family and friends, and pizza and cupcakes! What could be better than that? I've still got a lot of shots to go over from the party and from Eastern WA the week before... so more photos to come!

Almost 2!

Where does the time go?
Avery and I went to the park today because it was 75 degrees outside!! What a great surprise with the weatherman predicting rain... what do they know? ;) Anyways, I snapped a few darling shots of Avery and I'm just totally amazed at how much she has grown. I feel like we just brought her home from the hospital yesterday. She's going to be 2 years old on June 3rd!! My baby is growing into a big girl... Just blows my mind! I suppose I'm all nostalgic and emotional since I'm 12 weeks away from having another little girl. I'm on quite the rollercoaster of emotions lately. Avery is really getting interested in my growing belly saying, "Baby sissy in Mommy's tummy," and "I love baby sissy," and "Give baby sissy a hug." Now if only I could get Mark to snap of picture of Avery hugging "Baby Sissy"!!!

Another from last weekend...

My parents are in love with these boating pictures... thought I'd post one more... :) In less than 3 weeks, my precious little girl is going to be 2 years old! Where does the time go? I'm so thankful that I've developed a love of photography! And excited that in about 13 more weeks ;) we'll have another little one to add to the picture-taking adventures!! Avery's going to be the best big sister in the world!
