This is one of my cherry onesies. I am growing so fast, but don't worry I can still fit in a few newborn clothes.

Avery went to the Dr a couple days ago for her 4 month check up and she is doing great! She has slept through the night a handful of times (which was great for us) but the Dr said they usually don't recommend that infants sleep through the night till they are 15 lbs. :( She said we would start her on cereal of we wanted, but since she was so early not to be alarmed if she isn't quite ready for it. So here are her stats:

Weight: 11 lbs 13 oz (15th percentile)
Height: 24 in (50th percentile)

She is finally fitting into some of her 3month clothes so that is exciting! She gets cuter and cuter everyday! We just love her soooooo much!!!!!

I had my birthday a few weeks ago. Josh keeps teasing me about being half way to 50. I just don't feel like I'm 25! Sometimes I think back to when I was in high school or jr high and what I thought about where I would be at this age. I definitely don't think it was living with my parents. But, that's okay. We have been very blessed to be here. My parents have helped out to much with Avery and I can't imagine being anywhere else! Thanks mom and dad!!!

For my birthday Josh took me to Benihana. It was delicious! Just recently they sent me an email with a $30 coupon so it looks like we'll be going back soon.

I have some pictures to post soon so check back in a few days and hopefully they'll be up...

PICTURE TIME!!!

Are you ready for the cutest baby pictures in the Universe?
We went today and got a few pictures of Avery taken. Some are better than others, but they are all super cute!!!

She looks so fat in this one, but don't be fooled, she is still really small

I wish she would've looked up better in this one, but its still a keeper

Even her little piggies are adorable!

She had a rough time in the tutu (I think that's how it's spelled). We tried to get some other cute poses in it, but she didn't like wearing it I guess

How can you not love that face? This is one of my favorites for sure.

Thanks Aunt Kirsten for this cute outfit!

This is my other favorite. She is just so cute with the little teddy bear.

This was her first pose. She just melts my heart

We had a great Christmas in Utah with Josh's family. Avery got a lot of cute clothes, toys, formula, diapers, wipes, a gift card to Build-a-Bear, and I'm sure other stuff I just can't remember right now. Josh and I got Wii Fit Plus, gift cards, Super Mario Brothers for the Wii, a flip video camera, and some other things I'm having a hard time recalling right now....
We look forward to 2010 and all the fun things to come!
