Life so fun if your Avery Walter!! She gets to play dress up everyday. Eat yummy homemade organic babyfood, play with her doggie Brisco and hang with Mommy, Daddy and Rachel. She is sitting up so well, and discovering more and more every day.
Such a show stopper
Surprised mommy and jumped forward in the tub
Having a moment with Brisco... pretty sure he's cleaning up the drool
February 21 was Papa's birthday so we made sure to send a birthday message to him!
Happy Birthday Papa!
Sunday Feb. 22nd we were invited to Gianna Morrison's 3rd birthday party! It was so fun to go up to Barrington and see everyone. Especially for you bc you got to spend time with your Fairy GodMother Britini. They also had a petting zoo which was pretty cool but you were less than intersted - too young.
You and Auntie Brit
Mommy, Peanut and Auntie Brit
You also got to meet Scottie - you had so much fun flirting away - daddy not so much.

We are so excited to get back to Florida and enjoy some nice weather, you decided you wanted to have a little pre-party and try on your new swimsuit and sunnies.
Where's the sun?
Heyyyyyyy
19 Days and counting
Avery's day is pretty routine these days. Here's a glimpse into a day as peanut:
7am: Wake up, Happy, all smiles and excited! Have a bottle for breakfast. Monday 2/23 was the last day that we nursed for breakfast as mommy stopped after that. Usually our bottle is half formula half breast milk as we finish up the stock pile in the freezer.
7:30am - Play and snuggle with mommy in bed. Mon-Thur face-time with Daddy to say hello really quick before the day gets going. Then I watch mommy get ready for work while I play quietly in their room either in my chair on on my mat.
9:30am - 10:30am - NAP, this time usually varies on the day. Sometimes she is tired before that sometimes she keeps going so we let her guide us but usually she can make it around 2 hours in the morning before needing a snooze.
11am - Lunch time!! This has become such a fun time with peanut. She is trying so many different foods and really loves everything so far. You've had cereal, apples, carrots, sweet potatoes, butternut squash, green beans, peas and pears. Sometimes we have to nudge her a little bit more with certain things, like peas but for the most part she is a solid eater. She'll eat about 3oz of food and then 3oz of milk.
11:30am - Let our food digest, clean up from our meal. Time to pick our our outfit for the day. This is one of your favorite things to do. You have so many adorable clothes that mommy, Nana, Bubbie and mommy's friends have all gotten you that it's hard to pick. You love selecting your headband every day also making sure it matches perfectly.
Then once your food settles we play some more, work on strengthening your legs by helping you stand. Having you reach for things to try and see if you'll crawl. We also get done a lot of house stuff during the day too! Laundry, dishes. As the weather gets nicer we take Brisco out for a walk or run an errand or two but it's been so cold we are a little stir crazy.
2:30pm - NAP, this is where you usually are starting to take a great nap and will be out for an hour and half sometimes longer.
*depending on what time you wake up from this nap... sometimes we have do have a 3rd nap usually a catnap 20-30 minutes later in the day but we make sure you're awake by 530p otherwise it messes with your bedtime.
4pm - Dinner time. Your second real food meal of the day. We make sure that you get a veggie, fruit and cereal every day and just mix up what you eat each time.
4:30pm - Clean up and countdown for mommy to get home from work if it's a weekday. If it's a weekend sometime we run out around the block or play dress up in your room and take lots and lots of pictures - you might be the most photographed child.
6pm- Facetime!! Every night when Daddy is traveling we make sure we Facetime with him. You love it - you know the sound and get so excited to see him. As we get closer to the end of the day sometimes we have to change what room you're in to keep you entertained and happy. Lately you have been loving naked time so we strip you down to your diaper, sometimes nothing and let you roll around in your room on your furry rug! You love it and usually get a burst of energy and are giggling up a storm.
7pm - Nighttime routine. A friend told me very early that the nighttime routine is crucial and will be a part of your schedule for years so we made a point to start a good cycle every night. We get ready for our bath, play in the tub for around 10 minutes. Get ready for bed with a nighttime diaper, lots of lotion since it's so dry, turn on the humidifier, put on our pj's and then sit down to enjoy a bottle.
7:30pm - lights out, when you finish your bottle (usually 10oz big girl!!!) we burp, rock in the chair together and turn on your sound machine. The noises in the city are great bc you'll sleep through anything but I like to have a background of white noise so abrupt noises like car alarms.
Repeat! Repeat! Repeat! It will be fun to see how it continues to change as you get older.
You just discovered that there is a mirror in your room and you LOVE looking at yourself
