A Fun Weekend

We did several fun things with Avery this past weekend. Saturday afternoon, we took Avery to the pumpkin patch for some pictures. No smiles, but we did get some pretty cute pictures! On Saturday night, we went over to our friend's house to hang out with our group of close friends and their kids. Avery did really great. I can't wait until she gets to play with all of her little friends. Sunday afternoon, we went to McGregor for our nephew Garrett's 3rd birthday party. It was a lot of fun seeing everyone. And of course, Avery was spoiled with lots of lap time from the Grandparents. She will be 10 weeks old tomorrow.... I can hardly believe it. She is getting so big and doing so great. After a couple of days of working with her, she is taking a bottle without any problems. I've been trying to give her at least 1-2 bottles a day to be consistent and make sure she doesn't forget how to do it. She is also pretty much sleeping through the night now, which has been wonderful. I was just telling Ted last night that I hardly even remember those first few weeks when we were up every 2 hours feeding and trying to calm a crying baby. It goes by so fast that it's almost a blur now. I've treasured each day with our little angel, and look forward to each day to come! Enjoy all the new pictures!
