Happy 4th of July!!

Happy 4th of July!! We spent our 4th of July at my sisters house for her annual 4th of July celebration. :)  We started at their towns parade...Isabelle was excited to get candy of course!  We then went to her house for lunch and a day of lots of playing with cousins! Enjoy the pictures!

Parade time!

Avrey tried out Violets exersaucer.  She like the spinning chickens for a little bit then wanted out. :)

Isabelle playing with Ava and Isaiah's toys.

Isabelle had so much fun playing with Ava and Isaiah! She just adores them!

She also had fun flying airplanes and eating lots of popsicles.

And Isabelle really like feeding Jackson!

3 Months!!!

Our sweet little Avrey is 3 months old today!!!! 3 MONTHS!! Time sure does fly. She is still the easiest baby in the world and continues to be so incredibly smiley, happy and content all the time.  There is rarely a cry from her, ever. We just love her to pieces!

At 3 months Avrey is wearing size 6 month clothing and fits into most of the 6-12 month summer clothes we had from Isabelle.  In fact some of her 6 month pajamas are starting to be a little snug length wise! She is 13 pds 10 oz and growing like a weed!

Avrey is still the best sleeper.  She goes to sleep at night usually between 7:30 and 8:00 and usually sleeps until around 5am, eats, and goes back to sleep till 10 or so.  There are some nights she will wake around 2am and then go right back to sleep until 8 or 9.  She naps great during the day and will sleep wherever she is usually as long as she is comfy. :)

Avrey just adores Isabelle.  And I truly mean that.  She gives Isabelle the biggest smile when she sees her and loves to watch what she is doing.  I have no doubt these two will be the best of friends forever.

Avrey is still an awesome eater and eats four 6 ounce bottles during the day and one at night.  She is so predictable with her eating which makes it sooooo nice!  I can time like clock work when she will eat and she usually always finishes her entire bottle too!

Avrey has also really started loving to hold objects and usually always wants her blankie (actually the Elly Isabelle gave her) while she is falling asleep or riding in the car or stroller.  She loves to cuddle it up to her face while I rock her.  She loves to shake rattles around now and is very interested in her toys, especially the ones that light up and play music.  She will look at them for the longest time very interested!

Our little peanut is still rolling over from her tummy to her back a few times a week.  She is also really good at tummy time and very good and supporting herself with her legs in a standing position while we hold her upright.

She also loves going on stroller walks and playing on her play mat.

Look at this adorable, sweet little angel.  She just melts our hearts. 

Just when I think I could not possibly love her more....I do.

We love you beyond words Avrey Ann.  Happy 3 months!!

A Little Bit of This & That on Tuesday

As I mentioned before Tuesdays we go to the kids summer movies at the theaters for $1! Isabelle loves going to the movies and of course was excited to go again. This weeks feature film was Ice Age the Meltdown.  Avrey slept through the first half then woke up and watched the rest. :)

Since the movie theater is at the mall, Isabelle usually winds up eating lunch there afterwards. :)

After a little shopping at the mall, Avrey had a doctor appointment.  She had been running a little low grade fever for a few days but acting perfectly normal.  With her being so young the doctors wanted to check her to make sure nothing else was going on.  Of course when I brought her in she had no fever and checked out perfectly healthy!  She weighed in at 13 pds 10 oz!  It's hard to believe she is up 4 pds 9 oz since birth already! 
Avrey showed the doctor her adorable smile and that she was just fine. :)

Isabelle likes going to Avrey's appointments since she leaves with a ton of stickers and cookies from the nurse!

In the evening Avrey enjoyed some more swinging in the backyard....she fell asleep after about 5 minutes and took a good nap in the swing while Isabelle was swimming.

Since our backyard faces west and gets so much sun I propped an umbrella up to block the sun while she napped. ;)

Isabelle sure does love to swim!

We are sharing our house with some new little babies this summer.  This robin built her nest in the gutter of our roof.  And now we have three little baby birds to watch. :)

Hope everyone has a terrific Wednesday!

Sunday Monday Funday

Sunday afternoon we all went to see Monsters University! My parents took us and Isabelle was soooo excited to go see the movie! She loves Monsters Inc!!!  Avrey did great again through her 3rd movie!

Little Avrey sitting on Isabelle's chair before her bath!  She looks so tiny such a big chair!

Monday Isabelle decided that we all should go to the park for a dinner picnic when daddy got home from work! It was a beautiful evening and we had the whole park to ourselves! What a good idea Isabelle!

Avrey had fun going down the slide and swinging on the big swings! (As did Isabelle:) )

I love our outdoor time together!
