Trick or Treat!

Avery was a sweet little bee for her first Halloween. Trick or treating fell at her fussy time of the day, but her little bit of fussing was due to the fact that her suit was not made for temperatures in the 70s! This year we just visited family and friends in Ned's parents' neighborhood. We're already looking forward to a fun Halloween in Newsoms next year!

Christening

Avery was christened at Newsoms United Methodist Church when she was 9 weeks old. She was so well behaved during the whole service, probably because she was asleep. Avery wore the same christening gown that her Daddy and Uncle Rob did. After church we went to lunch with the family, and I changed her into one of my outfits from when I was a baby. It was a very special day.

What's That Smell?

Oh...just Sammy.

No More Cords

It was so great to pick Avery up this morning and not have her attached to a monitor! Dr. Applewhite gave us permission yesterday to discontinue the heart monitor that she's been on since she was three days old. The monitor was a big pain. We couldn't even walk around the house when she fussed without carrying it around too. Although we complained, it is never far from our minds how blessed we are that the monitor was simply a precaution while we waited to find out everything was fine. It was also nice to know it monitored her breathing while she slept...now I'll be checking on her all night! Avery seemed to enjoy waiting for her bottle this morning without the band around her chest and wires coming out of her jammies.

Busy Days

Happy Birthday

Here are a few pictures from Avery's birth. I can't believe it will be three weeks ago tomorrow that she was born. I also can't believe it's taken me three weeks to post these, but it's hard to get computer work done with a baby in your arms!
