Laughter is the best medicine

Olivia has the sweetest laugh. She loves to be tickled because whenever I stop she grabs my hand and puts it back for me to keep tickling her. I love this game we play.

MONTH: 7
WEEK: 29
WEIGHT: 17+ lbs

MILESTONES:Olivia tried yogurt and english muffin for the first time this week. Only one was on purpose. She stole Avery's yogurt that she left in Olivia's reach.
OBLIGATORY ADORABLE PICTURE: Loving this silly smile.
EATING: She really loves oatmeal and yogurt.
VISITS/OUTINGS: Avery and Olivia participated in their very first Presidential election this week!

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO: Thanksgiving!

The great raspberry experiment

On Sunday we had dinner at Grandma and Grandpa Nunley's house for dinner. We had lasagna and Avery had raspberries. It was so funny to see Grandma and Grandpa watch A try them for the first time. She was unsure about them at first, but she got used to the tartness and actually enjoyed them.

As usual she needed a bath afterward and I was not about to put her in the car like that, so we gave her a bath in the sink. She thought she was the cat's meow being able to sit up by herself. It was a hilarious. See for yourself:

She's mobile!

Sort of.

Avery has been pushing herself backwards for a couple of weeks. It's pretty easy because we have hardwood floors that are very conducive to easy sliding.

That last few days she has started inching forward and today I caught it on video! 

29 Weeks!

MONTH: 7

WEEK: 29

WEIGHT: 16lbs 

LENGTH: 27in

HEAD: 17in

MILESTONES: She is getting increasingly more steady sitting unassisted. She has also started pulling herself across her mat because she can easily. It's pretty cute.

OBLIGATORY ADORABLE PICTURE: Taken today at 29 weeks 2 days because the last couple of days she has been an über grump.

EATING: Avery's newest food was a tiny bit of yuca on Monday. I was surprised she liked it because she wasn't such a fan of sweet potatoes -- of which family yuca is a member. 

SLEEPING: Avery has not been sleeping well in her Pack N Play so she has been sleeping more in our bed. I feel like we all sleep better because I can just open my eyes and see that she is okay rather than having to get up and turn over to see her -- especially since she has taken to rolling over onto her stomach in her sleep when she is in her Pack N Play.

VISITS/OUTINGS: On Saturday we celebrated Avery's new cousin, Harvey, with a baby shower for Justin's cousin, Aimee. 

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: I'm not sure Avery is a fan, but I love watching her learn how to make her way over to the toys she wants. I think she gets frustrated, but I think it's pretty cute when she actually succeeds.

MOMMY FEELS: Sad that I am missing the entire day when she is practicing her new skills. And since she has been having rough days where she won't nap for anyone but me she only falls asleep as soon as I get home. Then I miss out even more.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO: Finding a new home that has more room so we are not always tripping over Avery's things and each other.

Besties

Avery has a friend, Lailah, who is 5 days younger than her. Lailah's mommy, Christina, is a stay at home mommy so whenever I have a day off during the week we like to get the girls together and play.

Monday, being President's Day, was no exception.

Luckily for me Christina is an amazing photographer and she snapped the cutest pictures of the girls.
