Merry Christmas to everyone. Avrie was more excited about the bows and ribbons than her presents! We sure had fun watching her trying to take them off of the boxes. We attempted to take a family picture with everyone, the animals weren't so cooperative, but I think it turned out pretty good. We hope everyone has been enjoying their holiday and hope that the New Year will bring happiness to you!

Happy 6 month birthday Avrie

Today is Avrie's 6 month birthday today. I can't believe how fast that 6 months went by. She has been such a joy and blessing to us. We waited so long for her to come and join our family but it was well worth it. We love her so much!! We are so excited to watch her grow but are sad at the same time. She is truly an angel sent to us by our Heavenly Father and I am so grateful for that.

What Avrie has decided to give up!!!!

So my daughter has decided that it is okay to give her binki (spelling?) and bottles up ! I am happythat she gave the binki up but not so much the bottle. She is still nursing so as long as I can stay home she can nurse. When we go somewhere she usually would take a bottle but no she REFUSES! What is a mom to do when their baby does that? She has been eating cereal for 2 months and will start vegetables this month. She is getting so big!

Happy Holidays to everyone!

We went down to Temple Square and had some family pictures taken. Tyler and Avrie look so cute is this picture. She loves her daddy. He is the only one that can get her to laugh really hard and when he comes home from work she smiles so big!

Everything goes in her mouth!

For the last couple of months everything that Avrie sees and can grab goes right to her mouth. She has even been getting a hold of my chin and sometimes she chomps down hard and it hurts.
She is getting so big so fast!

COLD cement, hands and feet!

So having a Grandpa and Dad that pour cement for a living is nice. They had some extra cement leftover on a job and we put Avrie's feet and hands in it. She was so good. Most kids throw a fit when you do that to them and she just sat there and looked around. It was so cute!
