At Avarey's two week check-up, Avarey hadn't re-gained her birth weight so we had a follow up today with her doctor and.....she gained about a pound! She's now at 8lbs. 14oz! And that little bump on her back turned out to just be her rib's.We're very relieved! I am definitely one of those paranoid mommy's!

Auntie Manda's #1 Fan

The never ending poopie incident! Avarey decided that she should poop all over the bed at the Hilton! It was rather cute and seriously never ending. After 3 diaper changes and 15 min. she finally finished. She's photogenic even when she's pooping!

Sleeping peacefully! She loved that bed!

Manda's team were national champs...of course!

Waiting for awards! I know I'm cut out...but I never have pictures with the two of us!

This is my new favorite! Look at her big beautiful blue eye's! Isn't my baby just gorgeous?!

We went to Anaheim last weekend for Manda's Cheer competition and it turned out to be a great weekend! We stayed at the Hilton across from the convention center and even walked around Disneyland on Saturday! We had a blast...it's always nice getting out of the house. Avarey got to cheer on her favorite Auntie at her very first cheer competition...it won't be her last! Manda's team did amazing and came in first. I have other pictures...on my new camera (my birthday present from John), those will be posted soon!

To save or not to Save...the umbilical cord?!

So Avarey is two weeks old today...and I can't believe how fast time has gone by. I feel like she was still in my belly yesterday. She's getting bigger by the day and reached a big milestone yesterday...losing her umbilical cord! I have to admit it kind of scared me. Thank God for my mommy! She reassured me everything looked just fine! It's funny how much you worry about your little one.

Avarey received her first bath yesterday and pretty much hated it. She screamed the whole time! She really is super cute even when she's screaming bloody murder! I love her little lip quivers...it really is the cutest thing.

My Aunt Katherine and Uncle Aaron and their girls stopped by to visit Avarey! It's always nice to have family over. I still remember when the girls were Avarey's size, they are getting so big!

This is my new favorite picture! She looks like a little pixie! She looks beautiful in everything but Green and pink really are her colors! She really has stolen my heart.

PS.We are not saving her cord...It really does look like dried cat poop. However, it is in a zip lock bag for now on the kitchen table for everyone to see! lol

~I am so in Love~

The first week with Avarey has been a little crazy! She just stared letting me sleep for 2 hours at a time. She's going through more and more diapers...which means I'm doing my job! I never thought I would be so happy to change a poopie diaper ;-)

I also can't stop talking pictures, I want to remember everything...plus she looks different everyday! My life is forever changed and for the better! I can't believe it's already been a week. Thank you to everyone for your well wishes! We love and appreciate all of you!!!
