Avery and Morgan

Grandma Great's visit

Trick or Treat

My gang all dressed up! Matt even dressed up...bet you can't guess what he dressed up as. Just in case you are wondering...that is not his real hair...just a wig....Avery thought it was pretty cool to have her dad dressed up too. He drove her around town and took her door to door and it was pretty cute to watch.
My little lady bug....I made this costume for Avery when she was a baby and it was fun to be able to pull it out and use it again.

Halloween Accessories

No Tinker Bell costume is complete without a little lady bug......
Avery showing off her wand and her "gorgeous flower " as she calls it.....she has been using the word gorgeous a lot lately. I decided to make these little accessories last minute to add to her costume....she loved playing with the wand.

Tinker Bell

This year Avery wanted to be Tinker Bell for Halloween. We found these cute wings and slippers at the dollar store (our favorite store) she felt pretty special wearing them.

Unfortunately it is freezing cold up here during Halloween time and most years we have snow so I had to come up with a way to winterize Avery's costume. Originally I wanted her to wear a leotard with her tutu and just plain tights but that would have been freezing so I found an old shirt of mine...the one pictured below and we dissected it into leggings, a skirt and a shirt for Avery's costume.

My New Addiction

Yes my new addiction just happens to be my new addition. This is little Hailey Rae and I am completely obsessed. She is such a sweet little baby and I spend most of my day just holding her and cuddling her. Before she was born I wondered if I could love another child just as much as I love Avery.....when the Doctor placed her in my arms it was instant love at first sight....I couldn't be a prouder mama.
I love her little nose!
The girls sunbathing.....Avery loves being a big sister. She is very protective of Hailey whenever we change her diaper and Hailey starts crying Avery tells us to stop making the baby cry it's not nice. Whenever Hailey cries...Avery runs over to sooth her......she will say "It's ok baby Avery is her....just breath and be happy."
One of these days we will get a picture of her with her eyes open:) That's if we can get her to wake up........she is a good little sleeper....we have had a hard time trying to get her to wake up to feed. We have had to strip her down to her diaper and use a wet wash cloth to try and wake her....after a few times of doing that it didn't phase her anymore.....
My mom came up and helped us out she was so wonderful and I miss having her here....it was so great to have her....my dad also came up and helped work on our nursery he was such great help.....also Hailey makes that same face when she sleeps....I love it!

Our New Addition

Avery has been so much help that she has even offered to help Amie lift her shirt and feed the baby. We have loved having here home and Avery is so freakin' cute with Hailey..... she wants to feed her, change her clothes/diapers and has probably kissed her 500 times since 3:00 today.
