Back from Colorado

St. Patty's Day we headed west to visit our besties in Colorado. We told Cohen about 4 or 5 days before we left and he couldn't wait to go. I think he was most excited to get on the plane. Everyday he would ask if we were getting on the plane and would get upset that it was not yet time. Jay and I were talking and we think next time, we won't tell him till it's time to go.

The trip was wonderful and couldn't have come at a better time.

More of our trip to come!

Avery - 7 Months

Photobucket

Baby bird turned 7 Months old last week! She is now rolling all over the place and trying to crawl. She can get up on all fours, but then plops down on her belly. She will then try a sort of army crawl, but not use her arms, to get any toy she wants. Avery has her two bottom teethe coming in. They are just peeking through her gums right now. She started foods at 6 months and has eaten carrots, sweet potatoes, pears, and bananas. But she doesn't quite like bananas, yet. She still isn't sleeping through the night, but I think I'm use to it. Still waiting patiently though. Avery went on her first plane ride a week and a half ago and did great! Hopefully she will love to travel just like her parents. We are enjoying her so much everyday and looking forward to her future.

More of Avery at 6 Months

I wanted to take some more pictures of Avery at this age. 6 Months. She's just so fun and cute. I had a vision for the shoot and I think I captured it. I also learned I need to look at the details. Like fixing headbands and picking grass out of hair. Enjoy!

Avery's First Food

Saturday Avery had her first taste of solids. They were homemade carrots...

She didn't care too much for them. But it was the first time she has had something other than breast milk. That day we are lucky if she ate any. Towards the end I just gave her the bowl and spoon to play with. Since then she has consumed a whole ounce in one sitting. Nevertheless, it was a lot of fun. And I am really excited to be adding solids to her diet!

Discovery

Last week I took the littles outside to see the shuttle Discovery launch it's final mission. Clearly Avery didn't know what was happening. But Cohen couldn't have been more excited. I put the news on to try and grasp Cohen's interest. One look at the "spaceship" and he was hooked. We waited for the shuttle to launch on the t.v. screen and then we headed quickly outside to see it soar through the air. Unfortunately it was a cloudy day and I didn't get any good pictures. But to see how excited Cohen was just made it so fun.

Ttv - Week 8 & 9

We have been so busy I just haven't been able to go out and take photos. I'm itching for my time. I need to be creative. Ahhh...Soon. At least I keep telling myself that.

Here are just a couple taken around the house. Little hints of happenings around here.
