Avery's New Words

What a week! I had lots of plans for my spring break week that didn't happen. I attribute it all to the awful little stomach bug that Avery picked up somewhere and then passed on to me. Matt went crazy cleaning yesterday and doing all he could to avoid getting it too. I don't blame him one bit!

On to better news. Since she got tubes in her ears and can hear, Avery has been saying a lot of words. Here a just a few that we have heard in the last few weeks: up, hi, bye da-da, poop, water (wa-wa). She has also been singing "Row Row Row Your Boat" (Wo, Wo, Wo). She tries to repeat a lot of what we say.

I think I even heard her try to repeat her name today. She really is full of personality! She likes to laugh and make us laugh. Sweet girl!

A Fun-Filled Weekend

We had a great weekend with family and friends. Avery loved that her Mimi and Pappy came to visit. We all went to the zoo on Saturday morning.

It didn't take long for her to fall asleep. She loves falling asleep in her stroller.

Matt and I went to my friend Stacy's wedding that afternoon. It was a late afternoon wedding and absolutely beautiful. When we left the wedding, Matt and I decided that we would take advantage of free babysitting and go to a movie and out for dinner. We stayed out until 10:00! Sounds funny right, but I honestly can't remember the last time we went to a movie together OR stayed out late. We definitely need to do it more often.

Today we met up with some friends and their kiddos for an Easter egg hunt in Cool Springs. It was Avery's first! It was a good weekend.
