Baby Daddy Day

Yeah Yeah Yeah, I'm late...so whatcha gonna do about it? Dad's day was fun, Grandpa Jon came over and we did, what else? Ribs! Avery and Zoie got some wonderful old man advice, but Avery mostly wanted to hear Grandpa's watch talk again and Zoie just pretended to listen but was really just practicing her photography skills (the light was good, you really couldn't blame her).

It was also Ben and my 2nd!! Anniversary, Lordy I cannot believe it's been two years! But then again we're busy little bees...in that time, Benny got a great job, we bought a house, got a crazy Maizey dog, and oh yes, our little light of shiny goodness, Avery El. So it's also has seemed like a lifetime, or at least a new lifetime. Good news is our afternoons are filled with laughter and conversation and the only one who needs a diatie change is the little giggling baby, at least for now....

While Ben's Guitar Gently Weeps

Sweet Baby A loves musicians and a solid beat so much so that she can't help but give in and eat the guitar.

Nora Gets Another Holiday

Hooray for Mother's Day! We had a lovely time at "anti-Caroline's" super cute apartment, we had yummy brunch and bubbly Mimosa's then we all got sweaty palms playing Wii. Goofiness reigned supreme and Avery grew a lovely head of red hair just for Mom's Day.

Avery's First Goop

By that I mean food, you dirty birdies....

This was delicious and popular rice cereal, I'm going to be attempting to make baby food instead of buying...call me a hippie and call me with tips!

Grandpa Jon, Zoie, and Ben helped, Maizey mostly got jealous.

Need I say more???

The Giggle Has Arrived

I mean who doesn't laugh when they look in the mirror?! Today Avery saw the "baby in the bathroom" and laughed and laughed at her reflection. It was too cute, seriously, my cold dark heart melted a little when it happened. The baby is officially the boss of me, with the giggle down she can get whatever she wants, which right now is a good swing and at least 2 fingers in her mouth. All I have to say is that we are knee deep in trouble and head over heels in love!

and apparently I can only get around to blogging once a month. So Happy Late St. Paddy's and Happy Late Easter, I hope you got Guiness filled eggs. But here are entirely too many picture of our sweet Avery, things are good here in Seattle. I'm back at the grind at work and we are settling into our "whoa we live with a baby and still have to do housework and work work" schedule, but the baby is giggling so everything must be right with the world.....
