all-star baby

The following was taken before and after I asked Avery the big locker room question.

"Are we going to beat daddy at basketball today?"

Even babies know what kind of a question that is! Just. Plain. Silly.

we do marshmellows

My friend Heather wrote a fabulous post about sugar cereal, and how she lets her kids eat it, along with licking the spoons when baking. I concur.

She wrote of her love for Captain Crunch. I, on the other hand, have had a 20-year affair with Lucky Charms. Jonathan and I have had "the sugar cereal" discussion SO many times. Mr. Healthy says there will not be any in the house. I say otherwise. And, moms pretty much always win when it comes to kids, and food in the house (since I shop for it). I grew up with sugar cereal and I think I'm fine. Probably better for it! Oh yumminess! Really, what is childhood without a bowl of Corn Pops or Coco Puffs?

When my sister Megan was here visiting last month, we had "the sugar cereal" talk again. Megan was on my side. Jonathan said, "Well, why don't we compromise and just get frosted mini wheats?" Megan and I just laughed.

Haaaaaaa...Weeee don't do wheat. We do marshmellows. Only. Thanks for playing though.

all smiles!

easter

Easter was pretty low-key this year. Avery is still too small to eat peeps, mom was too tired to make a big fancy meal, we saved some money on baskets and straw hay and plastic eggs, and enjoyed a movie and popcorn instead! I'm just gearing up for next year, when our little chick can sit up by herself and actually focus on and pick up a stuffed animal. It will most likely yield a much better return on my investment!

Besides the getting all prettied up for church, we spent the entire day in pajamas. It. Was. Fabulous. Here is Avery is her big 'n fluffy (yes- polka dot) Easter dress. Also, a big thanks to aunt Meredith for some extra cute baby bunny ears!
