Avery looks like she's turned into a toddler overnight in her new chair for plopping. The Bumbo chair was not on the original list of things to get today. But, lets face it- have I ever gone to Target and come home with just the things on my list? We all know the answer to that question. Aww Target, the land of candy-colored wonderfulness. I just couldn't resist! I really just need to steer clear of the kids department from now on. What is it about new, shiny kids stuff that looks so appealing? I think we get so used to the prices of adult clothing, so when you see a cute infant dress for $4, you say to yourself, "Hey- that's less than my coffee cost this morning!" And, then you put it in your cart. And, then you put more in your cart. And, then you go to check-out. And, then you look at the total and wonder if that could ever be correct. "Are you sure it's that much? I didn't buy one piece of adult clothing!"
I'm starting to realize how quickly Avery is going to grow out of everything...and need many more everythings in just a bigger size! I've already started a box of stuff that I can ship to the first sister that has a baby themselves. We'll just send all of our cool stuff back and forth to each other. Ya know, the things that you really want, but don't want to spend the money on for just 1 months use.
Now that the Bumbo has arrived, we officially have more seating for Avery in our living room than for adults. Anything wrong with this situation? I think our pediatrician was right when saying, "Well, it's obvious this baby isn't loved very much."

Avery is the happiest little giggle bug in the mornings! And, this is one of my favorite pair of pajamas. I know- polka dots - who woulda guessed? Makes me think of a candy store! Very fitting, since I call her my "lolly", like a dolly lolly, or a lolli-pop! So sweeeeet. I nibble on her allll day loooong!
Our baby chick is 2 months old! I really really can't believe it. Avery stats are as follows: 11 lbs, 10 oz, and 24 inches long. Jonathan and I suffered through two more shots at the pediatrician's office today. Avery, on the other hand, if just fine. She's beginning to get some real chub on the thunder thighs, double chin, and kankles. She's more like a tiny sack of potatoes now, and pretty much smiles on demand. Here is our little munchkin with one of her new, much-needed slobber accessories!
My friend Holly is one crafty lady! She made this beautiful patchwork baby quilt for Avery! It is one of my favorite gifts she's gotten! Complete with my favorites, (bird and damask prints) it is backed with a super-soft white chenille. And, the large embroidered monogram on the corner makes it one-of-a-kind. Thank you so much, Holly! I have a feeling that this could be the blanket...the one she can't go to bed without...the one we need to wash a million times...the one that needs sewn back together after about year 2!
