Sitting Pretty

Legendary Santa

Last Sunday we too Avery to visit the Legendary Santa in Richmond. This is the very same Santa that I saw most of the 17 years I visited. It isn't the same as when Santa was at Miller and Rhodes, and you could eat in the Tea Room and visit Bruce the Spruce, but I am so glad we can carry on this tradition. Lolli and Poppa came along for the trip and braved the hour and a half wait with us, which really wasn't that bad. Avery couldn't have been better. Santa knew her name and asked us how things were in Emporia!

Time Change

A week and a half after the time change we're still struggling at night! Avery fell asleep sitting with me just before her bath. I laid her down on her floor to run her water and she was all smiles. When I turned around to check on her while the water was heating up this is what I found.

Moving Up in the World

A few weeks ago I tried Avery forward facing in her stroller, and it was a big hit. She has always been so alert (nosy) and has become more so since going to the babysitter. Since that worked so well, last weekend I bought her high chair. Now instead of sitting in her bouncer, she can sit up high while I work in the kitchen and while we eat dinner. Our baby days are quickly slipping away!

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!
