Has it really been 2 weeks?

      I know that I have neglected our blog recently, but did not realize it had been almost 2 weeks since the last post.  We have been very busy with football games, home renovations, birthdays, appointments and weddings.  Mommy and daddy went to the beach last weekend for Kelly and Whitney's wedding in Tabor City.  Gigi and Papa spent the weekend with Avery and they all had a blast.  Mommy and daddy missed Avery very much, but enjoyed getting videos and pictures of her while they were gone.  It was our first entire weekend away from Avery. 

    Avery has been to 3 NCSU football games now and is looking forward to the NCSU vs Ga Tech game tomorrow.  We think it is going to be a perfect fall day for some football and we are glad the game is at 3:30pm.  Those 6pm games are a bit too late for Avery now that she is older and in need a particular bedtime.  She is still very flexible and a great little girl.

 

     We have had many firsts in the last couple weeks.  In addition to our first weekend away, Avery is rolling from back to front and occasionally from front to back.  Mommy has started to make baby food for when Avery begins to start on rice and food in the next 2 months.  We have a good supply of peaches, avacado, peas, carrots, and bananas with peaches.  For $3 I made about a months worth of carrots.  Mommy hopes that she can keep up with Avery as she starts on solid foods.
      Avery is finally big enough for her Johnny Jump Up and her exersaucer.  She is really enjoying these new activities, but she still has a blast on her activity mat.  Mommy has to make sure she is secure in her swing and boucy seat these days because Miss things is quite the wiggle worm at times.

We used the swing in the backyard and it was a huge hit. 

     Avery loves her walks.  She is big enough to go for rides in her stroller without the infant carrier.  She might be in her first 5K next weekend if the wolf pack don't have an early game. 

         Avery continues to love bath time more and more.  She started splashing and kicking a bunch in the tub.  I have a funny video that I need to learn how to load.  She also has her first poop in the tub, but I will spare you the pictures! 

Sometimes she has so much fun that she passes out on her bouncy seat or activity mat.

        Here are some cute pics of her loving on her "luvie" while sleeping in her swing.  Most of the time she likes to put them in her mouth.  Avery is not a big paci baby, but she sure does love to suck on her fingers.

       Mommy forget her camera for Kelly and Whitney's wedding, as well as when we went to dinner with Pepaw for his 65th birthday.  I did get this picture of Avery at home right before we left.   

Happy Birthday Pepaw.  We love you very much!
