Family of 3- 3 months now

I cannot begin to express how much we love having Avery in our family!!! I love being a mom even more than I thought I would and feel like this is exactly what I am supposed to be doing!

She is such a happy baby (when she gets her sleep) and smiles a coos and talks to us all the time. We think she is perfect in almost every way (when she gets her sleep). We are just the typical proud parents who think they have the cutest baby on the planet and that she can do no wrong.

Avery still loves bath time and still does not like getting her clothes changed.

She has personality and knows what she wants (and doesn't want).

She still has a very loud cry and makes sure she wakes her dad up in the early morning too, not just her mom.

Avery has been a good sleeper (at night) since we brought her home but as of late, she struggles with going back to sleep after I feed her around 3-5 am.

This means some very early mornings (especially for a mom who is a sleeper-inner:))

Avery loves to be carried around, facing out, so she can see every thing that is going on.

She loves it when her dad sings to her and often tries to sing along.

We have been working on coping skills lately. Avery has a hard time relaxing herself and falling asleep on her own. We have gotten into some bad habits and have been working on breaking them this week.

Going to sleep is unfortunately one of those life lessons that is sometimes hard to master. We will keep working on it. I am trying to be consistent (something I have found to be harder than anticipated).

Little Avery loves to chew on her fingers and Jeff says she is already a mommas girl (that is okay by me).

We sure love our little munchkin and can't believe she has been with us for 3 months now.

Superbowl XLIII

For 5 years now, we have been hosting the Leger Superbowl party at our house. It is 3 of Jeff's favorite things to do all wrapped up in one, watch football, host a fun party, and be with family. He is a fun host, last year he started a fun game with cash prizes (I think that is why they still come;)), and he always makes sure the fridge is STOCKED with pop! Other than that it is all about eating yummy food and hanging out. Oh, and I guess for some of them, watching football.
