Santa/ Rolly Poley!

Today was a HUGE day in the life of Miss Avery Polk! First, we went to see Santa for the first time! Avery did so perfect! There were several pictures that turned out really cute, but the one we ended up getting was priceless!!
Here are some of the pictures WE took:

And this is the Santa picture for 2009:

She is thinking : "Hmmm, you look like someone who could fit down my chimney and give me lots of good stuff!!- Proove it!"


So in this same day we hit another milestone!! Avery has learned to roll over! She is quite good at it too! All of a sudden she just started rolling over and has done it over and over and over again... she's on a ROLL... get it?!.... "a roll"... cause she's rolling... I know you get it!
Anyways, I video taped one of the many successful rolls.

ENJOY!! Our baby girl is so talented!!

Teething/Giggling

Well, the time has come. For a few weeks now- Avery has been "teething"... or at least "pre-teething". Poor precious baby has some sore yums, she drools like a faucet, chews on EVERYTHING, gags herself from sticking her finger too far in her mouth trying to bite her finger off. She was doing SOOO well with sleeping at night, but that has changed slightly. Overall she does well- but we can definitely see a difference. She wakes up hurting- and wants to be snuggled, which is really ok with me!

Yesterday she started giggling! Before yesterday, she would make a little noise when she was happy, and would do one little one noise laugh... but now she giggles! She did it twice yesterday, and once today... so we will perfect it in no time! Laughing and giggling is our favorite... so we will do it a lot!

Dance Mania Take 2!

So here is Avery's most recent dance dance nation video. She is loving it more and more... and if you listen close you can hear her sweet laugh. So turn up the volume and watch her get her groove on... she's a future "So You Think You Can Dance" contestant!

Stylin' and Profilin'

Our fashion diva already...

Avery's First Halloween!

We had a very low key Halloween this year! We decided to go see Ernest sister and her husband and be at home that night. Since we live in a new neighbohood, we didnt have any trick-or-treaters... Maybe next year! BUT- despite no trick-or-treating, that did not stop us from dressing up our love bug! She was the cutest ladybug I have ever seen!!! Here she is:

Pumpkin Carving 2009

We had so much fun carving our first pumpkin as a little family with our Avery. What a fun weekend we had!!

Big Girl Chair!

Here is Avery's new chair... SHE LOVES IT! My precious love is 3 months old today... wow... time flies!

Daddy time

So besides the pumpkin patch this weekend, we had a VERY lazy weekend. VERY LAZY! :)

Avery loves when her daddy is off from work!!

Just like a girl...

Avery isyite the talker! This is a cute video taken of a conversation with the most important man in her life... DADDY!! She usually talks even more... yet every time we get out the camera she stops!! :)

Pumpkin Patch 2009

Today we went to the pumpkin patch in Woodstock. We wanted this to be a fun tradition we do each year. Granted Avery is only 3 months... but since Ernest will be gone this time next year being our HERO, we wanted to start the tradition with him here of course. It was a blast- but freezing! We had Avery bundled up pretty well, but with the wind- her cute outfit wasnt seen because we wrapped her in a blanket to keep her ears warm! We found Avery's first pumpkin and it is too cute. Tiny!
Here are some pictures we took with our new camera! SOOOO thankful to have a camera again. My phone took decent ones, but nothing close to what a camera can do. Here are a bunch of pictures from the fun trip!

passed out before we even left the parking lot!
