More Firsts!

In continuing with the "firsts" of the last post, we also wanted to show everyone a video of Avery smiling. She started doing it with Grandma Connie, much to Haley's jealousy (haha), but now is doing it very often. There also is some excitement happening with the cats as well but you will have to watch to find out what..... so enjoy!!

Summer Adventures!

The three of us took 2.5 weeks to go on adventures/vacation (although andy and i are learning that vacation no longer means catching up on sleep...:) These adventures included a lot of "firsts" for baby Avery which include: first time to yosemite, first rock concert, first road trip (she did soooooo great), first baseball game, first time in the pool, first time meeting a lot of people, first time riding a dog, etc. We tried to catch the memories on film as best we can, enjoy!
