1st Halloween!!

My little elephant! As you can probably tell I'm still getting used to the blog so you have to start at the bottom and work your way up to see the progression of the night. I hope everyone had a wonderful HALLOWEEN!!!


Time for bed!
The elephants cute butt!
Back at home and after a fresh diaper in a little bit of a better mood.
On our way to Cameron and Sara's house. (friends that live down the street) Note all the puffs, used in an attempt to keep the baby happy!

Still not super happy about being an elephant.
The beginning of the night. Avery's not too sure about the costume.

We decided to dress the little munchin up like an elephant. She wasn't too happy with the costume in general but we were able to get a couple of cute pictures.

MY NEW TUB

Avery was getting too big for her infant tub so we decided to bring her up a size to a blow up tub. Just the past couple of weeks she's gotten pretty good at sitting up. We took a few cute pics. Note Miles in the background. He doesn't like to be far from the rest of the family and he has an infatuation with the tub.

TEETHING

Okay all you parents out there know that teething basically sucks. My poor baby has been fighting a tooth for a week now and the darn thing just won't pop through. It keeps coming up and down. Although this morning I thought I felt something sharp maybe popping through. It could just be my sleep deprivation from dealing with a fussy little girl (she's usually such a good sleeper). Poor thing has it all, the runny nose, diaper rash and an occasional slight fever. We've been feeding her the teething tabs but any other advice on how to make her comfortable would be appreciated. Also does it always take this long for a tooth to pop through? The scary thing is that this is just her first tooth. I can't even imagine how the molars are going to affect her! So everyone keep your fingers crossed that the little devil will pop through soon and give my child some peace - at least until the next one decides to make a move! As soon as we have success I'll post a picture of the new tooth!!

Grease is the word!

So my Mom burned me a copy of the Grease CD she bought when they saw Grease on Broadway in New York and I listened to it for the first time driving Avery to daycare this morning. It brought back a lot of high school memories so I thought I'd do a post to Jill and Rosie and just say first of all that the Pink Ladies Rule and second that I'll never forget the split pants! Aaaa nostalgia. I still can't believe that was like 14 years ago - yikes. Here's to awesome friends and silly memories. Love you girls.
P.S. In case you're wondering, Avery loves listening to musicals (probably due to all the music I played for her when I was pregnant) and I think she's going to be a Broadway star someday :) I can dream right.

Ryley Bear

Shawna emailed me this picture of Ryley and it was so cute I just had to put it on the blog. For those of you who don't know, Shawna is Jeff's cousin and we were pregnant at the same time. Ryley was born just a couple of weeks after Avery. It was so fun comparing things when we were pregnant and it's even more fun watching the kids grow! I'm guessing the cousins are going to be great friends as they grow up!

Weekend with the Daltons

Ronnie loves to ham it up for the camera!

Ronnie tickling Avery.

I think Rhiannon's more interested in Avery's toy!

We took off Friday afternoon and headed up to Kalispell to see the Daltons; Chris, Tonya, Ronnie, and Rhiannon. It was fun to get the cousin's together and Ronnie and Rhiannon really liked playing with Avery. Ronnie especially liked to tickle her. We had a great weekend and hope to see them again soon.

My new sweater

It was chilly out the other day so we decided to bundle Avery up and take her outside. Here are a few of my favorite pics.

Sweat Pea

Here's our little Avery Jazmin. She's such a good baby and we just love her to pieces. I love all the funny faces she makes and how often she makes her Dad and I laugh. I never imagined in a million years that being a parent would be so much fun. Not getting to sleep in for the last seven months has been totally worth it!

Last week she discovered that she can scream, really loud. She loves practicing with her loud voice anytime she's holding onto a toy. It's as if she's telling the toy what to do. Way too cute. We've also discovered about a week ago that she can eat finger foods and she loves puffs. However, not being too coordinated yet, she shoves her entire fist into her mouth in order to get one puff to sometimes make it in. I'll try to get a picture of this so you can see what I mean!

My First Entry!

I figured after friends started popping up with thier own blogs that it was time to get my butt in gear and make one up of my own. So here's my shot at the blog world. I figured since it takes to much time to download pictures to emails, this would be a much easier way to get way more pictures of Avery, Jeff and I out there! I'm pretty excited and look forward to each of you checking out klineworld!
