2 Months!

Oh my heavens, how time flies. Miss Avery, you are 2 months old today. You've grown up so much! The world opened up last week when you were able to see and focus on things around you.  You started to smile 2 weeks ago, but are consistently smiling every day now. Granny Janny thinks you'll be talking next week. I agree, you definitely are trying to say something!


Things you love:

Mommy's face/voice

Car rides

Having your hands free

Your binky

Being held

Sounds to fall asleep to

Kicking

Bright lights

Ceiling fans

The Bjorn


Things you could live without:

Heat

Being irregular

Gas bubbles

Being alone when you're awake


You've traveled to Seattle, rode the ferry, and loved being in the cool weather. Next week you're headed to the Oregon coast to experience it all again.

School Parents - This post is not for you...

Hello my very few friends who follow my on my blog...

First of all, my weekly posts to Avery are obviously over.  I can't keep up with blogging when I've got a little one here who takes up all my time.  And now instead of writing to her, I get to talk to her :)  I'm not saying there won't ever be a blog to her again, but I can't keep up.

I'm happy to say I have a very, very happy girl today.  She let Daddy and I sleep really well last night.  She was back to her sleep until 5, eat, then wake up at 8:30, routing again.  It's my favorite sleep schedule.

I was cleaning up the kitchen and making coffee when I went over to her and she gave me on big, giant grin.  Then again, and again and again.  Of course, as soon as I pulled out my iPad, that was over.  She's still bright eyed and happy to be awake.  Maybe that means another good night of sleep tonight.

Now, the reason I titled my post this way is because I have NO idea how I'm ever going to make it back to work in the fall.  (although, I think all my parents on facebook are going to 3rd grade)

I'm not even close to ready to think about leaving my sweet baby girl.  I hate thinking that when we get back from Seattle, summer will be 1/2 way over.  I love my job, don't get me wrong.  I love my class, and my kids, and all the crazy things I get to do with them every day.  But, I can't imagine leaving Avery for 9 hours.  I know she'll be in good hands with Aunt Rachey, but I don't want to miss a minute of her beautiful face.




Who would want to leave that gorgeous face!!!!

Love you!  Mommy!
