Pretty in Blue

I just thought Miss Avery looked beautiful in her blue turtle neck- So I wanted to show everyone!

2 Month Shots

Well, the time has come and gone for Avery's 2 month shots! AHHH... time is flying by for sure. She is almost 3 months, but the shots were pushed back because our pediatrician was out of town right when Avery reached her 2 month mark.
So of course I was torn up knowing I was going to put her in pain... but in the long run- it is for her own good. I was beyond sick about it though! We went Thursday, Ernest met us at the doctor, and planned to go ahead and get all the vaccines needed at this point. We have decided that starting with the 4 month shots we may split them up instead of all at once. But from talking to friends and the doctors, the first set of vaccines arent as "intense". So we get there, and Avery weighs 13.8lbs, 25in long and overall in the 97% range. We all know that between Ernest and I- she has a good chance of being tall!
Then it was vaccine time. First they gave her the oral Rotatec- which made her choke. She lost her breathe for what seemed like a long time- long enough that after she caught her breathe again, the nurse wanted to get the doctor before beginning the shots. All of a sudden Avery fell asleep when I was holding her- and it seemed like a very awkward time to fall asleep so suddenly. Needless to say it was scary! I was in the corner crying while the doctor was holding her trying to figure out what the deal was! After this fiasco- we decided to only give her one shot, and went back this morning to give her the other two. We are so glad we did. With the shots Avery did so wonderful. With the first shot she cried for about 10 seconds, and the second time we went for the final two shots she barely made a peep! What a big girl we have!! So proud of her!

Dance Mania!

Every night before Avery's bath we "dance"! This has become something we look forward to!! :) Avery enjoys this fun nightly routine... and it sure does tire her out!! Here is our dancin machine!! Watch until the very end... the last part when the "salsa" music comes on is the best!

Big Girl!!

So since it is rare that I can actually get on and type whats been going on- Now that Avery is asleep... I need to post it all!! So there are several new posts...
This one is informing everyone that my little Bug is getting to be too big! She has transferred from our bed co-sleeping to her bassinett!! Oh man... :) She did great with the transition! The first night she slept 6 hours, woke up and ate- then slept 5 more hours! WOAH!! That has yet to happen again- in general it's 6 hours, 4 hours, 1 hour- waking up at 9 am like clockwork!

Here are the pictures of our big girl in her bassinett the first few nights! I am very surprised that she doesnt have both her arms up above her... in general that's how she sleeps... she stretches back... and lets her hands just fall... so funny! Guess she was just too pooped after I put her in there to get a good stretch before falling into deep sleep!!

Whoa Is Me...

Avery in all her CUTEness

Here are some pictures that I just love of our beautiful girl

Allergies

SOOOO... we have recently overcome our first sick baby days!! Poor Avery has The Bishop Allergies like her mommy!! I get them every season change... and poor Avery had her first case recently. She has now overcome all the sneezing... yet is still a little stuffy!! I was a paranoid mommy for sure... taking her temperature constantly to make sure it was nothing more than allergies.
Soon after Avery and I both got over our allergies, Ernest got a nasty cold... he NEVER gets sick. He has been sick one time since I have known him... no joke! Got to love a good immune system! When I walked in the house after Avery and I went to get him medicine for him and felt the house was burning up, and he was FEEZING in sweat shirt with the hood on, and sweat pants- I knew Avery and I had to leave that Germ Infested Sauna!! So we decided to go hang out with my mom and let him sleep and get better.
Happy to report however, OUR HOUSE IS SICK FREE!!! Phew... We made it!!

Aaaaa-CHU!
