Some more of March's happenings

Avery got her hair chopped off.

 

 

Baby D wasn't happy but he looked cute in his Easter outfit!

Avery has started picking out her own clothes.

I think this picture pretty much sums up Avery's personality.

  

 

Pictures!

My little man is going to be 6 months old tomorrow. I think it's going to take me a couple of posts to get caught up on here. So here goes...

 

 

 

 

 

April 26, 2014 we had a late Easter party at a friends house. The huge yard was perfect for all the kids to hunt eggs. Avery had a lot of fun.

 

 

Valentine's Photos

I can't believe that Little David is already 3 months old. He is the sweetest little baby. We enjoy him so much. He is so happy. I am so thankful to have been blessed with two sweet kiddos. I hadn't gotten any professional pictures of David so I had a Valentine's mini session done. They turned out pretty cute. Avery has gotten to the age where she's hard to get to smile when you want her to.

Here's a few ;)

So Blessed!

Sometimes I can't believe how blessed we are.

I can't believe it's 2014. I'm starting this year as the mom of 2 kids. KIDS. That is still weird to say.

Avery is getting really sassy. Very sassy. This is one of those payback moments that is going to continue for a long time. I can confidently say I was a good kid/teenager. I think the only real downfall I had was talking back. I remember it. I'm paying for it now :) However, if a sassy mouth is the worst we get from her, that's fine by me! Let's pray it is!

Avery has started yelling "Never!!" when she's upset. She's become sneaky. "Avery, what do you have/what are you doing?" "Nothing" with a sly smile. When she's in trouble or upset she has begun to cry hysterically and runs to her room. She often goes and lays in her bed throughout the day. Tonight she put herself to bed early because she's so excited to go to a birthday party tomorrow. I'm wondering how she put it together that tomorrow will come faster if she goes to bed. Smart girl.

This girl loves her brother. LOOOOOOVES him. Today he was fussing a little bit and she said "Come here sweet boy" with her arms outstretched. She is so nurturing to him. It melts my heart. I know she's small and this won't last so I'm trying to soak it up.

This little girl is so many things that I am not and it makes me proud. I see things I struggle with come out naturally in her and it makes me smile. She's a beautiful little person and I can't wait to see what kind of woman she's going to grow up to be.

Oh and I saw Avery try to nurse her baby doll the other day. :0)

Baby David is such a sweet baby. He loves his mama. He's just now starting to hang out with his daddy and not fuss. He's a good sleeper and a good eater.

He smiles and coos. It's the best way to start the day. He's tolerant of Avery being in his face and talking to him in a voice so high pitched dogs would run. I know he'll love his big sister.

His little neck is getting stronger so he looks around a lot. He enjoys sitting on my lap and watching the world around him.

He's such a content baby. Avery was too.

Here's some pictures

Santa!

Riding the carousel after seeing Santa

David wasn't loving the carousel

Avery told Santa she wanted skates for Christmas. Then she thought she was going to get them right then. Told her she has to wait!

Baby David

Sometimes I just can't believe that we've been blessed with such a sweet baby. I was a little scared that since Avery was a good baby, there was no way David would be! He's so good.

The other day we had a Christmas party with my mom's group and he slept the whole time. When we got home, of course he woke up. We stayed up for another 2 hours and he was so happy. He never fussed; he was perfectly content just hanging out with me. When he's awake and content, he has a slight smile on his face. It was such a precious time with him.

Avery is wonderful with him. I knew she would be but wondered if it would wear off at some point but so far it hasn't. She gets this high pitched voice and will say "it's alright! It's ok!" She kisses on him constantly and when he cries she tries to give him a pacifier, which he doesn't take. Every morning she asks where he is.

Time for some pictures.

Excuse the spit up on his clothes :)

Someone got into mom's lotion...

I love this girl!

I love this boy!

It's so incredibly hard to get a decent picture of her.

Christmas party for the kids

Taking advantage of the warm day yesterday.

She loves her bruver.

The majority of the pictures I take of her look similar to this. I have a special knack for taking bad pictures.

Hopefully David's hair will grow in soon! He looks like Stanley Tucci! I guess we know what we'll look like when he's old ;)

We're a little late but today we're going to go see Santa. We went over the weekend and the line was so ridiculously long that we left. Avery wants to tell Santa that she wants skates for Christmas. Of course, Santa already knows that ;)
