Avery at 6 Months

Avery is now six and a half months old. Wow how time goes by so fast!! I love spending every second with this girl. Although, I do think she is getting a little too attached to Mommy. Every night between 6:30 and 7 she is ready for Mommy to sit and hold her. Of course Daddy will do but don't let her see Mommy. I guess that is what happens when you stay home with them all day.

At her last doctor appt. Avery was 17 lbs (75th percentile) and 27 1/2 inches long (97 percentile). She is a big girl. She is rolling all around the living room and it looks like crawling is in the near future. She can sit up but does fall over after a few minutes. As you can see she never smiles.....HA HA HA

RaRa and I took Avery to get her ear pierced on Feb. 5th. Avery did great!! She cried for about 20 seconds and it hasn't bothered her sense. The bottom pictures are the day she got her ears done. She is such a joy to have and I could not be more blessed to have such wonderful kids. I thank God everyday for what he has given me.

Christmas 2009

Christmas was great this year!! We spent Christmas morning at my house and I cooked breakfast for the kids and my Mom and Dad. Then we spend a nice quite afternoon at my parents house with all the kids. As you can see in the pictures this kids got what they wanted and yes Ethan got is Buzz LightYear from Santa.

The following weekend we were able to get together with Tim's side of the family for the Tramel Christmas. It is the best steak of the year!! It is always a fun time getting together with everyone. I missed having cousins my own age and I am so glad my kids will have that growing up. I can't wait to see all the kids next year running around. Parker and Avery will get to open their own presents by then:-)

Ethan & Avery's Best Buds!!

Just wanted to post how cute the little kids are with their friends.

Off to see Santa

Ethan was not into seeing Santa this year. Although, he didn't forget to tell Santa he wanted a Buzzlight Year for Christmas. We didn't get a pic with Ethan on Santa's lap from our camera. He was just too upset for us to even try. As you can see Santa didn't bother Avery a bit.
