Texas State Aquarium

Today we went to the aquarium with Melissa & Tommy. Avery wasn't too impressed with the fish but she did enjoy watching the dolphins. ;0)

Tommy likes to push Avery

Avery Alyn is 8 Months Old!

Our little girl is not so little anymore! She is crawling, pulling up on everything, saying "mama", laughing & smiling constantly, feeding herself her bottle, & has 2 teeth coming in! She actually turned 8 months last Tuesday...I am just a week late. ;)

She definitely knows what the camera is for...every time I get it out, she poses!


It's getting a little harder to get a picture of her with her sign. So, Daddy had to hold it this time.

Yoga Class

Avery's newest trick is the "downward dog" yoga pose. She will stay in this pose for a while, get tired & then cry because she doesn't know how to get herself out of it. It's HILARIOUS!

Lucky Girl!

Aunt Misty came to visit last weekend & then NaNa was here all week! Avery is so lucky to have such an amazing family that loves her so much!

A Blessed Day!

On Sunday, July 12th, our little Angel was baptized St. John Lutheran Church in Cypress. It was a wonderful day & we are thankful that there were lots of family & friends with us to celebrate Avery's new life!



Avery's Godparents are Aunt Misty & Uncle Gerrit




So mad that my camera fogged up for this one. :(


This one too...


Shelby (our Godchild)& Avery... Aren't they the cutest?!

4th of July

For the 4th, we went to the Hooks game because Jake was coordinating the T-34 fly over. Luis Pujols (the Hooks manager) gave Avery her first baseball! And, of course, all she wanted to do was chew on it. :) I didn't get any pictures of the planes flying over because we were in the press box but it was really cool! Avery was mesmerized by the fireworks at the end. It was a fun night!

Enjoying the fireworks

Mmmmmm...Banana Puffs!

In the past week, Avery has started eating her puffs on her own! I couldn't resist taking these pictures... She was cracking us up!

Concentrating...


She has no idea that it stuck to her face...


Goofy girl!


So proud of myself!


She looks way too grown up in this one...
