Happy Father's Day 2011!
Today was Justin's first Father's Day. All week Avery and I had been working on this project and finally finished it last night during bath time. Here's how it came out! I think it's pretty neat.
During the day we went to Justin's grandparents' house for brunch. After brunch we went to Justin's parent's house for a Father's Day lunch. We had turkey sandwiches and Avery got to swim in her brand new puffer fish swimming pool! She had a blast.
After all that she was pooped -- and hot. So we rolled down the windows in the car on the way home and Avery's hair got a new 'do. I kind of like it.

Mommy FAIL.
This morning I was laying in bed with Avery since I brought her in bed with my when Justin left for golf at 5:45!! :::yawn:::
I was sort of drowsy and I was letting her crawl all over me and our king size bed just as she does every other day. I had just closed my eyes for a second since it was so bright in our room. I can usually tell where on the bed she is from how much she is pulling on the covers and whether or not she is smacking me in the eye.
Apparently she thinks she is trying out for the US Olympic diving team because in less than 2 second flat she had thrown her paci on the floor and gone down head first after it. She hit her head on the wall on the way down and was laying on the floor all crumpled up like a pile of dirty clothes and crying.
Luckily she is totally fine. She is walking and babbling like usual.
I feel so horrible and that huge red mark on the head is just a reminder of my huge mommy FAIL. So I made us both pancakes to make us feel better.

Channeling our inner Dori
And just keep swimming, just keep swimming just keep swimming swimming swimming.
On Tuesday Avery and I started parent/child swim lessons. I'll admit they're not exactly lessons per se, but they're just activities in the pool to get her used to the water and instill water safety. The very first day she was not a fan of the cold water, but after a few minutes stopped crying and at least let me hold her in the water.
The second day she only fussed for a minute and was actually participating in the exercises. Yesterday she was having a blast! I am so glad she's warmed up to the idea because I didn't want her to be afraid.
Aunt Stacy even took some pictures for us!

Family Fun
Tonight we went to dinner with an old friend of Justin's, Ashlee, her fiance and their adorable daughter, Madison. We went to Compadres where luckily it was loud enough that the girls' (read: Avery's) screaming didn't really disturb the other diners.
Avery and Madison had only met one other time and mostly Avery just poked at Madison. Now that they are both more mobile they were able to interact more and each thought the other was pretty interesting. Avery especially liked the button on Madison's cute shirt.

45 weeks!
MONTH: 11 WEEK: 45
WEIGHT: 21lbs +
LENGTH: 29in +
HEAD: 17in +
MILESTONES: Avery is officially a full-time walker. She definitely prefers to at least attempt to walk to whatever she wants rather than crawl. She even tries to run -- albeit unsuccessfully most times. She also got a third tooth! The top right popped through last week.
OBLIGATORY ADORABLE PICTURE: Taken today at exactly 45 weeks just before bed.
EATING: She is just munching along! Tonight we had tri tip, rice and broccoli. She chowed it all down like a champion.
SLEEPING: Today we had an unusually early wakeup call at 5:30am. Luckily she took two decent naps and I was able to recover a little.
VISITS/OUTINGS: We started Mommy & Me swim lessons yesterday and they are a blast. Daddy, Aunt Stacy and Grandma denise have both come to watch.
FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: At first Avery was not too fond of the water in swimming lessons, but today she was great and seemed to really enjoy it. That's a relief becasue we have 8 more weeks!
MOMMY FEELS: tired today. But great nevertheless. I am so grateful for every day I get to be home with Avery.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO: The continued swimming lessons.
