Oh Baby!

Starting to feel more like a human adult again. I am getting more comfortable taking Avery out on small trips. Though it is a lot easier with Chris or someone else with me of course, but I am getting more brave ;-) Chris had a short business trip down in Arizona for a few days. Talk about bad timing. Luckily I was able to stay at my parents house to get some help with Avery. They were amazing! Avery and I were very lucky to have their help. Plus it was Avery's first sleepover at Grammy and Pappy's house! We went shopping and even went out to eat. It's amazing how a short trip out makes you feel normal again. Avery and I are very happy to have Chris back home and getting back into the swing of things at home again. We started giving her baths now that her umbilical cord has fallen off and her belly button is healed. She loves them! She's completely calm and the water seems to soothe her. She doesn't mind water poured on her head to wash her hair and enjoys soaking in her tub. Avery is the best little cuddler ever and likes to snuggle up. She has been making really good eye contact and smiling every now and then. She also likes tummy time and playing with some of her smaller toys. The weather has been nice and she enjoys the shade and summer breeze. She is such a doll and we love her so much!
