Merry Christmas

It's been a busy few weeks preparing for Avery's first Christmas and my first days back at work. Thankfully I'm able to ease my way back into work a few days a week. I started back on Tuesday December 16th and will work a few days a week until the first week in January when I will resume working Monday - Thursday.

We are blessed to have both grandmothers willing and able to watch Avery while I work- so she will be spending two days a week with Reed's Mom, two days a week with my Mom and Fridays home with me. Last week she spent a day at each grandma's house, and did wonderfully- I think that I shed more tears then she did.

Avery is growing and thriving and has become quite the little attention-getter. Everywhere we take her we see people smiling at her and commenting on how cute she is. And usually she is happy to smile and talk with anyone.

Fall Recap

Time sure goes by fast, as evidenced by the time elapsed since our last post. Avery is growing and thriving. At her 12 week check-up she was 24 7/8 inches long (97th percentile) and 11 lbs 7 oz (35th percentile). Because she's so long/tall she has already grown into 6-month size sleepers and one piece outfits.

Avery is now one day shy of 15 weeks and her fun, playful personality is emerging. She's been smiling and cooing for quite a while now and recently started laughing outloud when watching daddy and Bailey playing "chase".

Here are some fun pictures of our little sweetie:
