More Averie

This post is just because I've been negligent in posting about Averie. I'm partly using Blogger as a sort of journal/way to keep track of all the highlights of Averie's life so this is just as much for me as it is for everybody else (and who doesn't like looking at cute baby pictures?).

After her first bath. She was a fan until it was time to take her out of the water and then she screamed bloody murder.

We had to take pictures of her in her church dresses because - surprise - we just thought she looked too cute.


We really love the doctor that delivered Averie and asked him to take a picture with her at my postpartum follow-up appointment a few days ago.

We love seeing her big smiles that tend to disappear as soon as we get the camera ready! We were lucky to capture this one:


We are so happy to have Averie. She is such a happy baby and we can't imagine life without her.

I'll try to be better about updating!

Christmas

We were so excited to celebrate our first Christmas with Averie. We spent Christmas Eve night at my parents' house as we have done since we got married and went to Layton to visit Chris' family and celebrate with them the next morning.

Averie and I in our PJs on Christmas Eve:

Averie chilling in the Bumbo with some of her presents. She was one popular baby, considering she couldn't even open anything herself :).

Our main gift to each other was a new HD camcorder so we can film every second of Averie's life...and then subject everybody to it :). LOL.

Here's Chris, Averie and I in front of my Dad's Christmas tree. He always decorates them so perfectly - they ought to be in magazines :).
Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!

I Caved

Well, I finally succumbed to all the peer pressure and made a blog. And now that we have a baby, it should actually have interesting stuff to read (no promises though)!

If you come across my blog and I don't have you listed on my little blog list thing, leave me a comment or e-mail me (address is in my profile) with your blog info so I can follow yours.

More to come later.
