My Little Bookie Lou- Milestones

Here are the top ten awesomest things Avery’s doing right now:
10. Making razzing noises with her lips and tongue, complete with a face full of drool.
9.  Scratching everything. She reaches her little hand out and runs her fingers over whatever the object is. It’s precious.
8. Playing the “Shy Girl” game. Anyone with kids knows it [...]

The Sixth Annual Halloween Bash!

Sorry it took me a while to get this up! Lots going on these days!
What a GREAT party this year. I can honestly say it could be my favorite yet. The food was really good, and everyone went ALL OUT with their costumes. That’s really makes the party, you know? Why bother going all out [...]

Going Bananas for Solid Food

I just couldn’t wait till tonight, so we did a test run last night.
 
We busted out the “big girl” highchair, which is really nice because it attaches to any chair, so it’s portable, always matches the rest of our chairs and doesn’t take up more room. Now, we’re one less chair in the dining [...]

Friday’s Five Little Things

Ok, so I thought I would start a new weekly post. My very first attempt at a “weekly” post. My friend Suz does it all the time but I’m more hit-and-miss, and randomly talk about whatever’s happening in my crazy life at that moment.
Every Friday (hopefully) I will post five thigns I’m thinking about, or [...]

Avery’s Four Month Checkup!

Super BABY!!!!
 
I’ve been saying for months now that my child is a genius, but people could’ve just chalked that up to being a biased loving mom. It’s a WHOLE different ballgame when the doctor says it!!!
 
Avery had her four month checkup yesterday morning. She now weighs 15 pounds and is 24 inches long.
 
At each checkup, [...]

Avery’s Three Month Portraits

Trust me. There isn’t ANYTHING that can get you out of a black cloud funk faster than a couple pictures of your precious smiling baby.
Mikey and I took Avery to Sears last weekend for her three-month pictures. (I don’t know if it’s a thing everyone does, but in my family you always took the kids [...]

Time is FLYING by…

Avery’s already three months old. I can’t believe 2009 is almost over and I’ve been blessed with the awesomest baby EVER for three months already.
Mikey and I make sure we take Avery’s picture with the same teddy bear (we named him Grampa bear) every month on her “birthday” on the 11th. We have three pictures [...]

The Jumping Blueberry!

Did you know Blueberries can jump? Here’s your proof!
Well… I think I may be jumping the gun a little on this one…this Blueberry will eventually jump, but for now, she’s content in hanging out in her Jolly Jumper, eating the seat, and periodically pushing her little feet off the floor.
Works for us!
Mikey’s mom gave [...]

A Girl of a Thousand Expressions

My little Blueberry rolled over again this morning. I went in her room at 8am to find her on her back, smiling at me. I went in there at 6:30 to check her, and she was on her tummy still, though 90 degrees clockwise from her original position.
This means she did her new trick in [...]

Another Milestone!

Avery rolled over during the night for the first time. I can’t believe how time is just flying by.
I heard her in her room early this morning, talking and laughing to the flowers and butterflies on her mobile and bumper. She only does that when she’s on her back (we usually put her to sleep [...]
