July Jubilee - 2 Months

Well I apologize for not updating this since Avery was born. As I'm sure you can imagine, life has been busy. I am starting to get into a schedule and Avery is starting to adapt. I will certainly do my best to post some stuff every week, but don't be surprised if it's longer!

Avery had her 2 month check up this week. She received 5 vaccines, 4 of which were in the form of 2 shots. Her little legs were so sore! She even produced tears at the Dr.! But that Tylenol works wonders! Put her right to sleep. In fact, I'm thinking about making it an evening ritual...

She was 11lb's 14.5 oz and about 23" long. Dr. Collings said she is just great and doing just fine. Soon she will start grabbing for things, hopefully rolling from tummy to back, and maybe even cutting teeth. She's been drooling more that's for sure! But it's just her body preparing her for those pearly whites. She has been sleeping through the night for about 2 weeks now, which is awesome! She gets swaddled every night, which I think helps keep her under control. She's like me when it comes to sleep and is just constantly moving around.

We are having her dedicated this Sunday at church. I am actually nervous about it! Who wants to get up in front of their entire church for any reason? But, I am thankful we have the opportunity to proclaim publicly that we are promising to raise Avery up the right way. I don't care what sports she plays, what awards she wins, or anything else...as long as she grows up loving the Lord and following him, all the other stuff will just fall into place. Please say a special pray for us, that God will guide us as parents.

I'm sure most of you check out our flickr page, but I wanted to post some pics anyway. So, here is Avery!
