Then and Now

Here's Avery at 3 days old. Good grief, she's a chunk. She still is :0)

After seeing Emma's teeny tiny baby, I realize that I gave birth to an infant, not a newborn! Look at her!

Here she is at almost 3 months old. She is a pound or 2 under Vicki's 6 month old!

I wonder if all of my children will be "healthy" haha. Fat babies are sturdier--I never feel like I'll break her!

Thankful

I can't believe in a few weeks Avery will be 3 months old! She is so funny. She has started yelling. It's cute. When she's upset she'll just let out these yells. She does it when she's crying too. It's pretty cute when she's mad but not crying, just fussing. And it's soooo cute when she sticks out her bottom lip. Love it.

I'm so thankful for my healthy baby girl. I just learned of a baby who died of SIDS and the baby I knew of that had the tumor in her skull is now tumor free. Praise God for our health! She is the beautiful and perfect baby ever. So blessed and happy to be her mama.

I went to bunco last night and came home to a completely clean and unpacked house. How sweet :0)

Video!

check out Avery fussin' at me.

Snoozin'

Pretty sure I'm going to hold the record for most pictures of your child sleeping. I will proudly mount the trophy on my um...entertainment center. I have no mantel.

Pictures

Avery bored but patiently waiting on us while we move.

Avery lookin' serious.

She couldn't take it any more. She passed out.

She loves that little bee on her tray. She just stares at it and smiles forever.

Hehehe, I told David that this had a lot of buttons after he proclaims "it has no zipper!". He then tries to take it off her by pulling down around her shoulders. He finally says he needs help and I find this :0)

Check out all of our meat!

Ghosts and Beef

Moving sucks and I hope we don't do it for a long time. Moving especially sucks when it's January...in Utah. I've decided if we move again, it better to be to a warm climate. I love cold and snow but moving in it has made me not like it.

I forgot to mention that the other day I got Avery's social security card in the mail. Now the government knows she exists. I kind of liked being off the radar for a while. She was unknown and now she's known. I felt like I was pulling a fast one on the government haha! She now has a birth certificate but I don't have one yet.

So I was reading on my birth board a woman who believes her house is haunted and she is afraid to tell the ghost to not play with her baby for fear of it getting mad and doing something bad. Alot of women commented on her post with ghost stories of their own. People notice their babies staring in a certain place and smiling or laughing. Much like a dog...

Anyway, it is interesting how we like to think that it's our parent or grand parent who is "watching over" us or our baby. An old boss and I had many discussions on things like this. She always felt like her deceased grandmother was around. Well, I don't believe this. The Bible makes it clear that when we die, we go to one of two places: heaven or hell. There is no in between! Dead people don't become spirits who linger. I think the devil likes to trick us into thinking we have friendly ghosts among us.

Ok, I don't really know why I'm writing about this. I've just been thinking about it this morning.

Exciting news for the day: my beef is ready! I am so excited about this!

No Motivation

It's 9 AM and my girl is still asleep. I should be using this time to be productive but I'm not. I want some coffee but I don't have any and I'm not going to go get some now. I accomplished alot yesterday but still have a long way to go.

Avery has become such a good baby. For that, I am thankful! I love her!

I'm so tired of hearing about the "Tragedy in Tucson". Sorry but it annoys me that the media puts so much emphasis on the congress woman that was shot and merely mentions "the others" that were killed. Yesterday on one show called The Talk, the women felt the same way so they showed a picture and spoke abou each person. I was glad.

Now I'm getting tired so Avery should be waking up soon :)

I was spoiled living in Austin's house. I have to say that spending the extra money on things like dishwashers, where you can buy the quiet ones is worth the money. My dishwasher is soooo loud.

I'm out.
