Friday Favorites...

Avery swinging with her HAPPY shirt on...



I love this outfit (Darlene this is the one you gave her) It has a hood and the jacket zips up...
This outfit is just to darn cute!!


"Happy Avery"... The way she is sitting makes her face look so chubby and she does not have a chubby face. Everyone always says her face is chubby when they see pictures but when you see her face to face you can see that she is so tiny. : )



This was her outfit for church one Sunday... Cole and Christy this is the dress you gave Avery, she looks so pretty.


HAPPY FRIDAY EVERYONE!!!!!!!!!!!

Forever Family...

We finally had our picture taken as a family. I have a ton of pictures of Avery, Phillip & Avery but we did not have a good picture of us as a family. We took this in Phil's (Phillip's dad) back yard. It still has not hit me completely that we are a family. God is so good and Avery was worth the wait.

Calling WV...

Every night my mom will call me from WV... My dad, mom and aunt Jenn want to hear Avery cry or talk and they want to talk to her ( my mom "mimi" sings to Avery) so we put the phones on speaker and away we go. The other night Avery was playing on her mat and talking to pappy, mimi and Aunt Jenn like crazy. In the one picture she put her hand on the phone, it wont be long and she will be picking it up on her own... We love you pappy, mimi and aunt Jenn.


Avery with the phone...



Here is the picture with her hand on the phone...


Avery sticking out her tongue... she is so funny.

Shot Time... 2 Month Exam

Avery had her 2 month check up with Dr. Miller yesterday (9-15-08)... This was not fun. Dr, Miller said everything looked good and Avery was growing, she weighed 9 lbs. 14 oz. and was 23 1/4 in long... Then came the shots. : ( Avery had to get 3 shots with a needle and one oral shot, it broke my heart. Avery was laughing and smiling and then all of the sudden a loud scream and the tears were flowing, what made it so bad the nurse wanted to give Avery her oral shot first but forgot so by the time the shots with the needle were over we could not calm Avery down so she almost did not get her oral shot down. She is doing fine she wants to be held and loved on today so that is what we have done. Here are a few pictures...

In the waiting room at Dr. Miller's office.

Thank You Aunt Jenn...

Avery with her doll... The face lights up on this doll and it plays "You Are My Sunshine"... Avery loves this doll, she just looks at it and smiles when I push the tummy to make it sing. (Aunt Jenn can you read Avery's bib... "My Aunt Loves Me")



Here is a picture of everything that Aunt Jenn sent to Avery, on the bottom there is a grey blazer... Love the blazer she is going to look so darn cute in it.


Avery with all her presents from Aunt Jenn.


Avery recieved a package with her name on it from her aunt Jenn... Aunt Jenn shopped online at Kohls and Old Navy for Avery and sent her 2 packages addressed to her. Thank you aunt Jenn for everything.

1st Time In The Nursery...

Today was the first Sunday I put Avery in the nursery... I felt sad, but knew it was time. She did great and slept most of the time. Here are a few pictures of her with Ms. Patricia in the nursery at our church. My baby is growing up. (Faye, Avery is wearing the dress that you guys gave her, she looked so cute in it)

Friday Favorites...

Today I am dedicating "Friday Favorites" to Phillip's dad and Avery's poppy... Phil Sr. Phil has been fighting cancer for sometime now and on Wednesday morning September 10, Phil went home to be with the Lord. So today we celebrate Phil... Phil loved Avery so much!!!

Can't Do A Thing With My Hair...

I get so tickeled with Avery's hair... It does not matter how much I try to get it to stay down in the back, it just will not stay. I have tried product in her hair and the only time it will stay down is when it is wet, but I love it because it is her own little fashion statement. :)


Avery getting ready for bed, feeling relaxed and content.



Avery with her belly full and some wild hair...



This picuture is a little extreme... Phillip was running his fingers through Avery's hair and pulling it up at the same time and this is how crazy it turned out... As he was doing this, Avery was just smiling so big.



After Phillip made her have crazy hair, he brushed it for her and she loves that. : ) What a sweet daddy.

2 Months's and 3 Days...

This was the day she was born July 6, 2008



Avery at 2 months old picture taken on September 6, 2008

Look at how much she has changed and her hair just keeps growing and growing. I love that I can get a bow to stay in her hair now. : )

Avery is now 2 months old... I can not believe how much she is growing and how she is changing. We went for a visit to Dr. Millers's office yesterday and she weighed 9 lbs. 15 ounces almost 10 lbs. and she was 23 1/4 long, WOW. Her are a few pictures taken at Phillip's dad's over the weekend.


Kicked back outside...


"Hi everyone"


Avery loves her daddy and daddy loves Avery...

Playing Is Tough...

Avery loves to play on her fun mat... she kicks her legs up in the air now and she is trying to roll over, well she done it the other day. I was so excited but did not have my camera (that's a first)so now I am waiting each day for her to do it again and she is really trying. Avery was 2 months old on Saturday (September 6) time is just speeding by and she is getting so big. Here are a few pictures of Avery playing...

Kicking her legs up...

Tummy Time...

She is beat from all her hard work, tummy time is no easy task. : )

Friday Favorites...

These pictures were taken by our friend Nina Shields. I love the one of Phillip and Avery so much, it just melts my heart. Happy Friday everyone.

Playing and Talking...

Make sure you turn the volume up, but just ignore my breathing... Avery is talking and playing on her mat. Avery is becoming so active and she loves to talk to you but will get very mad if you don't talk back to her. : )

One Sock On...

Avery was sleeping and I noticed she was missing her sock. I love these pictures, she loves to sleep on her stomach and the only time I let her is during the day when I can see her. Look at how sweet, she looks like a little frog with her legs tucked up under her, this is how she likes to sleep, legs all up under her. I love my baby girl so much!!

Payton & Avery...

Payton feeding Avery... Payton was such a big help.


I love this picture... Payton has the sweetest smile!!!!

A few weeks ago our friends from Calhoun, GA visited us, they came to meet Avery. Jay and Phillip have been friends forever, they went to school together. Rachel is Jay's wife and they have a beautiful daughter, Payton. We don't get to see them much because of the distance, but I can remember visiting them almost 8 years ago to see Payton when she was born. Payton is the most amazing 8 Year old I know, she has the sweetest spirit and I love her smile and her laugh. Avery and Payton became quick friends and Payton and I became quick friends too... Payton was so good with Avery she fed her and held her and was just so loving to her. Payton told me she didn't want to leave she wanted to just keep holding Avery. : ) I just love the pictures above, you can see that sweet smile on Payton's face and you can see how much she loved holding Avery.

Payton,

I hope you can come visit us really soon, I am so glad you were able to spend time with us and I loved reading books with you. Hope the Webkinz World is going good and you have a bunch of new things. Love, Gina

All That Hair...

This is a picture of Avery and a picture of me when I was a baby. No matter where we go we always get the same response from people... "Look at all that hair". My mom brought me this picture when she came to visit. I think we have the hair thing in common for sure. : ) Phillip ask Cole "who is this a picture of" (my baby picuture) and he responded "Baby Avery"... "No" said Phillip and then Cole said "Ms. Barbara" (my mom) and then Phillip said "no, that is Ms. Gina. I thought that was cute.

Friday Favorites...

I love this picture of Avery... Her hair is just so fun so I gave her a faux hawk.

Love this... This will be so true, Avery is already Daddy's little girl. ( nothing wrong with that, I am too. )

Avery fell asleep on her own laying just like this on Phillip.
