Cousin in our future!

Last weekend, Aunt Britt and Uncle Drew were in town for their baby shower hosted by family. Britt is due November 10th. Averi will be a big cousin. They are expecting a boy and are naming him Hunter.

"Say Cheese!"

Averi smiled for her first professional pictures today. She was a real sport and let her mom change her clothes 3 times! All the pictures turned out so cute. Spent more money than we had planned!

Just because it's cute.....

Favorite Toy

Averi got in her "stationary entertainer" this weekend for the first time. I thought these were called something else but that is their advertised name. She is still small for it, but you can't tell by her actions. It is by far her favorite toy! She especially loves to hit the buttons that make animal noises and play music. She bounces around and giggles when the songs begin to play. She is such a busy body.....We'll be in trouble when she begins to crawl!

Miss Independent

At just over 3 months, Averi is already wanting to do things for herself. Eating is by far one of her favorite tasks and as you can see, she is holding her own bottle. I think she does this to make sure her mom does not take it away from her! She is also learning to roll over and is always pulling to sit up. We can't believe how fast she is growing.

Growing by Leaps and Bounds

Averi is growing so fast! At her 2 month check up, she weighed 13 lbs. 11 oz. and was 23 3/4 inches long. Both measurements were above the 90th pencentiles! She always wants to know what is going on around her and is getting stronger by the day.

Child of God

Averi was baptized on June 14, 2009 at our church. So many of our friends and family were there for her special day. Averi's sponsors included our friends, Craig and Marcie Moehnke, and family, Drew and Britt Wegman and Thurman and Amy Hendrix.

Love at First Sight

There is nothing like holding your daughter for the first time. She knew me instantly. This was a feeling I can't put into words.

Happy Birthday!

Averi Victoria entered the world on May 13, 2009 at 4:18 pm. We were blessed with a healthy and happy baby girl. She weighed in at 7 lbs. 8 oz. and was 19 inches long.
