Avery's Best Bud!

Sometimes in life, things just work out.

And sometimes...they work out...really well.

We could not be more blessed with our Nanny situation!

Talk about the stars aligning.

If it wasn't enough to have a fabulous neighbor with an adorable baby girl just 2 months older than Avery, we managed to find Mary Poppins herself to watch these two pumpkins.

Am I dreaming? The answer is no. Sometimes, thinks just work out.

Aves and Piper have become the best of friends in two short months and there is so much more to look forward to!

They have so much fun together each day which is so comforting while I am at work. Not to mention, I love knowing that she gets to play with another little "girlfriend" four days a week!

The 4 Month Dr. Appointment.

For those of you who have seen Avery recently, it's probably no surprise that she is in the 95th percentile for both WEIGHT and HEIGHT!

Weighing in at 16.1 lbs and measuring at 25.5 inches, little Aves is not so little anymore!

I love that my baby is a BIG girl because at this age, I equate that to mean healthy and satisfied! And since she's SUCH a "spitter-upper", I can only imagine how much she would weigh if she kept it all down! ;)

Avery passed her 4-month physical exam with flying colors but her shots didn't reveal the same zest! I tried to warn Chris not to look but he couldn't resist and as a result, his heart broke too. The poor little princess has had such a tough day of unexpected pain. I realized how lucky we have it since she only ever cries when she's hungry but today, it took a lot more to console her. Finally, after a warm bath and some Taylor Swift tunes, she FINALLY calmed down.

These vaccinations...not sure if they hurt the parents more or the baby?? :(

Settlin' in to Summer!

Jungle Jumper - Love at First Sight?

Do you want to try it Daisy??





We have found a winner!

For Avery, this Jungle Jumper is the next step towards big-girlhood and an outlet to spin, bounce and even sleep at her leisure.

With the countless baby toys that fill the shelves these days, it's hard to know what will REALLY and TRULY make your baby happy and entertain them longer than 30 seconds. But as I am learning quickly, parenting is something you learn on a day to day basis so sometimes, you just take a chance and click PURCHASE!

In this case, I soon realized this time it was not just a purchase but instead, an Investment!

Avery musters all the energy she can to spin and bounce that she even fell asleep in it last weekend! Talk about cute!
