Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone.  We had a great day today and just wanted to share some pics of her in her thanksgiving dress.  The picture of her close up is just to show you all how smushy her cheeks are.  :)  Enjoy.  

Train of Lights

Today we took Avery to see the train of lights.  The train came in at the local metrolink station decked out in 50,000 lights.  This was sponsored by the local firemen who were doing a toy drive.  Avery liked the lights but she was too little to enjoy the Santa, and other things that were happening.  We are looking forward to next year when she will be able to enjoy everything along with us.  I tried to get some more close ups of her facial expressions and smiling.  It is so hard to photograph a baby.  :)

The Getty

Hello,

Today Avery went to her first museum, the Getty Villa in Malibu.  Wes had to go for one of his classes so we decided to all go and make a day out of it.  It was beautiful, but a little smokey from the fires.  We only took one picture of it, but are bummed now because the grounds were really pretty.  Here are some other pics we took this week.  I kind of got her smiling, which she does all the time now.  She is so sweet and cute, but no bias of course.  Hope everyone is doing well.  Enjoy the new pics.  

Two months/Shots

Hey everyone.  Today Avery turned two months old!  My has time flown by.  Unfortunately for her two months equals her first shots.  :(  She did so well.  She cried after the second shot but only for a minute.  She was fussier than normal this afternoon, but the Tylenol did wonders.   She weighed 9 pounds 8 ounces and was 21 1/8 inches long.  She is now in the 20th percentile for her weight but still in the 10th for her height.  Oh well she will be short like us.  She is starting to smile more so hopefully I will be able to get a pic of that soon.  Here is a pic of her battle wounds as well as some other pics I have taken in the past two weeks.  She is just such a blessing to us and we can't remember what we did without her.  Miss you all who are away.  

Halloween

Here are some pics of Avery on her first Halloween. She is a pea in the pod. She was such a good sport about it and we got a couple of cute pics. We started the night out at Brook's house with our niece and nephew who were a turtle and the UPS man. They were so cute. There we tried to get pics of all of the kids together, as you can see we were not very successful. We took pics of Tess and Avery together, they are 6 six weeks apart. So sweet. Next we were off to visit our friends, John and Katie where Avery hung out with Jonas, who is 4 days older. It was an eventful night. Enjoy the pics.
