Thanksgiving in April

Grandma Nunley invited us for Thanksgiving in April because she had a turkey in the freezer and needed space. Avery can't have turkey yet, but we gave her some mashed potatoes and green beans. She loved them.

Sunny Sunday

This weekend we finally got a bike trailer so we could take A with us on bike rides. After putting it together on Saturday night I put her in it to see if she would like it. She was so excited.

After a difficult experience trying to attach the trailer to the bike, we finally got it all set up and we were off. It was pretty cold, so A was all bundled up. Here we are all set to go.

We rode from our house (near Imola) to J's parent's house (near Salvador) and back. It was just over 6 miles each way and took us about an hour and a half to one direction. Once we were there we ate the sandwiches we had picked up at the deli across the highway and Avery took a quick nap. Then we were off again. By the time we got going again it was about noon and getting warmer. This made us realize we really should have brought her a sun hat and that we need to get a sun shade for the trailer.

Because we didn't want her to be in the sun too long we took quite a few stops and played in the grass. Here she is playing in the shade about half way home. She was not sure of the way the grass felt on her legs, but it was pretty cute watching her try to figure out what it it was.

Once we got home and rested for a while we got ready to go back to J's parent's house for Spring Thanksgiving. Grandma Nunley decided to BBQ the turkey she had in the freezer so we had a spring version of Thanksgiving. It was awesome. Even A thought so. She devoured the mashed potatoes, and green beans. Photos and video to come soon!

Teeth!

I was finally able to get a picture of Avery's first two teeth. They popped last weekend and she is wasting no time making god use of them!

(You may need to click the photo to make it bigger to see the teeth)

Silly Girl

After dinner last night Avery was having a blast just chatting it up.

34 weeks!

MONTH: 8
WEEK: 34
WEIGHT: My best guess is 19lbs+
LENGTH: 27.5 in+
HEAD: 17in+
MILESTONES: Avery has started pulling herself up in her crib. It's officially time to lower it. We don't want her flinging herself out of it!
OBLIGATORY ADORABLE PICTURE: Taken today, at 34 weeks 3 days because my camera has been on the fritz. I think it's time for an upgrade. As you can tell she is not a fan of sitting still for a photo. She saw something behind me and wanted it now.
EATING: This week Avery tried Broccoli, YoBaby Yogurt, & cucumber. She is a big fan of broccoli and even though it does give her gas she is a champ at getting those toots out and they don't seem to bother her too much.
SLEEPING: Avery has never been a champion napper for everyone else because all I ever hear from those who watch her while we're at work is how she is so good for never sleeping, but when I am home, she takes at least two one hour naps. Maybe I'm just boring. :-(
VISITS/OUTINGS: Since the weather has been nice out we having been taking lots of walks. Also, since it's Spring Break for the elementary schools Courtney's brother and sister have been playing with Avery on the days Courtney has her. Courtney's brother, Jojo, loves playing with Avery and even gave her one of his toys. 
FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Avery loves playing with other kids, so she has really enjoyed having Jojo and Gracie to play with.
MOMMY FEELS: anxious to finally figure out where we are going to move. We are just at our limit as far as space. 
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO: Still finding a new bigger place. We have something that may be in the works, so we are just crossing our fingers that it works out!
