Bathtime!



With mommy back at work and Avery in "school," bathtime has become our favorite time of the day! I wonder how long we have until Avery gets annoyed that the entire family is watching her take a bath ... 



Almost ready for bathtime! Ryder is so happy that Avery is home!

 

Just chillin' in my bath!

Baby Babbles!

Avery is so chatty lately - we can't get enough of her squeaky little voice!

First Day of School!

Avery started daycare this week! She handled the transition much better than her parents did, and is loving all her new friends. Of course, all of the teachers love her and keep telling us that she is the sweetest and most well behaved baby! Today she brought home her first piece of art!

First Plane Ride!

This past weekend, Avery earned her wings - flying to Santa Barbara for mommy and daddy's friends Dan and Lindsay's wedding. She even got upgraded to first class, which she was very excited about! She was absolutely perfect on the plane and we were very relieved not to be those parents with the screaming baby. Avery loved spending time in California with her Uncle Scott and meeting lots of daddy's college friends.

We even survived Carmageddon 2011!

Avery is THREE months old!

We can't believe our little sweetheart is THREE months old today! It's been a busy month -

We spent a weekend in the mountains with Mimi and Kiffy

A week at the beach with Grammy and Poppy and Aunt Amy and Uncle Ross

We went swimming for the first time too! Avery LOVES the water!!

Happy 3 month birthday sweet baby girl!! XOXO

Avery's Naming and Fathers Day!

This weekend we celebrated Avery's hebrew naming ceremony and Stuart's first Father's Day! Avery Madison was given the hebrew name Miriam Chana after her maternal Great Great Aunt Anne and paternal Great Grandparents Marilyn, Morris, and Mae. We felt so lucky to be able to celebrate with all of our family - including Mimi and Kiffy Wolman, Grammy and Poppy Shapiro, Uncle Scott and Aunt Amy, and TONS of Great Aunts and Uncles - and our close friends. People traveled from North Carolina, New York, New Jersey, California, and Oregon to be with Avery on her special day.

Avery wore the dress from her mommy's naming 30 years ago!

Avery is TWO months old!
