Well, our lives are just CRAZY and wonderful! I know I say it all the time on here, but hopefully I will find more time this summer to blog. We are super busy, but are loving every minute of life! I am thankful that I am out for the summer and I am loving being at home with Avery.  I know everybody always said that time will just fly by when you have a child, and I didn't believe them. I believe them now!! Time really does just fly by! Avery will be 7 months old on the 29th, which is so hard to believe. 

Avery is just non-stop and she isn't even crawling yet! She will crawl a few times, but then she just falls on her tummy and either rolls or army crawls. She makes it to where she wants to go or gets what she wants. I know she will be moving before too long and I will be baby-proofing my house very soon! Well, I tried to upload a video, but couldn't ever get it to work. Maybe I will get it on here soon.

Also, she just laughs and laughs at Macy. Avery will crack up and cackle at Macy. It is too cute and funny. I am very glad they like each other! I was going to put another video of Avery trying to get to Macy, but I must not be doing something right.

Let me see what else is going on with little Miss Avery:

She is about to cut her first tooth, I think

She is constantly moving...jumping,  standing, swaying, etc.

She smiles and smiles at people talking to her

She mimics different actions you do quite often

She loves the pool and bathtub...she just splashes and splashes the water all over herself

Here are a few pictures of our recent events....Easter, baby dedication, beach trips, visits to Durant and Louisville, and just life in general.

Well, I have been super busy and falling behind on the blogging. I am going to try to do better and blog more often. I have started back to work, which is going good. I am just ready to leave and go get my baby girl! We are just loving life and enjoying our sweet Avery. She is growing like crazy and her little personality is really coming out. It is so hard to believe she is 4 months old already! Let me see what has been happening lately....

*We went to the beach for the first part of Spring Break. Avery did pretty good, and I learned some things I needed to do and buy for when we go back for a longer stay this summer. 

*Aunt Whitney came home for a weekend and it was wonderful to visit and see her.

*We have enjoyed some time in Durant and Louisville. It is always great to spend time with family and see them just go crazy over Avery.

Here are some things about Avery...

*She is rolling like crazy

*I really think she is going to cut a tooth any day...she is drooling like crazy and puts anything that is in her hands in her mouth

*She is smiling and laughing alot

*She loves to babble VERY LOUDLY!

*She discovered her left ear the other day

*She is starting to discover her toes/feet...they are pretty soon going to be in her mouth

*She tries to sit up when she is laying down

*I think she is going to be a momma's girl!

*She is doing very good with eating rice cereal

Meeting friends!

I am blessed to work with such wonderful ladies that I consider some amazing friends. We have a fun time "playing Bunco". We rarely play, we always just visit! I try every time to get them to play, but nobody listens to me. I enjoy visiting and catching up with these ladies! Well, five out the eight of us have babies, and four of those five have had babies since October. One more in the group is due in 6 weeks. It is such a fun time in our lives. Yesterday, everyone came over to visit and let all the babies meet! We have one set of triplets, who are 20 months, one set of twins, and the rest are single births. Only one triplet came yesterday and they had to leave early to get home and help feed the rest of the crew. We forgot to get a picture before the babies were in the carseats, so we did our best to try to capture the moment! 

Here they are all lined up from oldest to youngest: Layla, Hudson, Hayes, Avery, and Garrett! So sweet....I know they are going to be great friends!

This is Garrett Buehner. I taught 3rd grade with his mom, Stephanie! She is a sweet and precious friend of mine. Garrett is 5 weeks old. He is such a sweet baby boy and slept most of the time they were here!

Here is my little stinker! She was a sweet baby and enjoyed meeting all her new friends! Avery is 8 weeks old.

Next, are the twins! This is Hayes Williams. His mom, Suzanne, teaches first grade right next door to me. Our due dates were 3 days apart, but of course she had her twins early. They are 3 weeks older than Avery. She is a precious person and a wonderful mom! These boys were so sweet when they were here. 

Here is Hudson Williams! So sweet and precious! The twins are 11 weeks old.

Now we have Layla Giachelli! I taught 3rd grade with her mom, Claire, last year. She is a wonderful mom and friend! Poor Layla's tummy was hurting her last night, but here she is a happy girl! Layla is almost 4 months old.

I hope to get together with these sweet babies very soon!
