Here are Rece and Averie hanging out last Friday!



Looking out the window!



Playing in the wading pool...with the cat!!



And sitting by the big pool after a refreshing swim! :o) 

WE'VE BEEN BUSY!

Averie got to turn around in her car seat! FINALLY!



Feet in the sand in Indiana last week on vacation!



Having a blast splashing in the water!



Hanging out on the beach! 

HAPPY 16 MONTHS!




Guess who got Averie dressed this morning?



Where's Averie?



Silly girl with her bean stacks!

Averie is officially 16 months today! And I begin my 7th month today! :o) Pretty cool! We have a busy week ahead of us! Wednesday we are going out of town for the night to stay at an Indiana State Park at a hotel...and we will probably swim and hike (within reason) and eat and have a lot of fun there! And this coming weekend Rece is coming (with his mommy and daddy) to visit and then we have a family reunion on Sunday! And yesterday was my cousin's bridal shower (which I planned a lot of and did a lot for)! We are just relaxing today...we will be going grocery shopping eventually...after Averie's nap (which is going on right now). As long as I don't spend too much time online! :o) So, it will be a busy busy week! And was a busy weekend! We went in the pool and played and practiced ISR. She cried, but still was able to float! We also (daddy at least) put mulch around in the back and a little in the front and helped with the kitched at Averie's grandparent's house. Which I haven't seen lately and need to! That's about all for now! Back to relaxing! 

HAPPY 4TH...AGAIN!!

Looking cute in her star shirt! She had her jean skirt on...but this picture is a little out of order. This is after the naked baby pics below, but since I didn't get a pic of her before we stripped her into a diaper, I had to put this one first!!! She had a blast!

Playing in the water table. She loved it. We went to Emma, Ella and Taylor's for the 4th and ate and had smores and watched fireworks! It was a great time!

Playing with the ball! Looking like a wet, dirty, tired girl (but having a super fun time)!

Relaxing with Daddy while watching the "sparkles" in the sky!

So, finally I think we are all better...Averie was done with her medicine as of yesterday, but started getting the not so fun "hershey squirts" and was literally screaming each time she pooped and peed. It was not fun. I have to call the Dr. today to make sure there isn't (hopefully) a follow up appt* we need to make. Averie is feeling better though! We have also dropped the morning nap officially. She gets a little fussy around 10/10:30 but we bumped up lunch to 11:30/11:45 and she goes down for her nap at 12:30 and I am happy as long as she sleeps til 2:30/3 (2:30 has been the norm so far). Sunday she slept from 12:45-4. That was nuts, but we had been up watching fireworks the night before and she didn't get to bed til after 10:30pm...and that was in the car! Same with last night, so her nap may be longer today**. But that is ok with me!!! :o)

*We do and it is Tuesday. They have to take another urine sample... oh no...poor Averie
**She woke up at 2:30 on the dot. But talked until 2:55, which was good!

HAPPY 4th of JULY!

Here is Averie looking studious at the fireworks on Saturday! She is actually showing you her eyebrows! :o) That is one of her new things to do!

Watching the "sparkles" in the sky! She was in awe for about 5 minutes and than just hung out and played on the blanket and didn't really pay much attention to them! We are going to see more on Tuesday! So, we'll see how she likes them for the second time! :o)
