Variety Hat Show

Well our entire household is under the weather as we've been passing a cold back and forth to each other over the past 2 weeks. Out of our house already, cold!

We've still managed to stay entertained by our little Munchkin, and she's given us some killer smiles and looks despite her own stuffiness. We decided to give you all a little hat show featuring her winter collection (almost all gifts made by her Mimi Isaacson). There's only one hat missing and once we recover it from a friend's, we'll add it to the fashion show. Enjoy!

3 months!

Happy 3 months, Avery! Our monster continues to grow in cuteness (and in some other areas). She has started recognizing her hands and even grabbing some of her dangly toys and bringing them to her mouth. She got her first cold a week ago and is at the tail end (we hope) of it, so she's a little sad/stuffy sometimes. But even her pouty faces are so cute! She generally sleeps from about 7pm to 2am, then again until about 5 or 6 if we're lucky. Eventually we'll work toward stretching that out or maybe pushing it a bit later, but for now we're letting her pretty much fall into her own schedule. I'll be excited to get rid of those 2 am feedings eventually, though! She still needs some help getting to sleep most of the time, but she's done it herself sometimes too. It's hard knowing how much to train her, and when!? Anyway, we love her. Life continues to get better and better with her!

2011 faces

Avery did awesome the past 5 days as we traveled to, around, and from Tacoma for a belated Isaacson Christmas. She met her aunts and uncles and cousins for the first time, plus the friends we could squeeze into an extended weekend visit! She was a perfect sleeper or socialite on the flights, even when ours was delayed a couple of hours on the way home. The only bummer is she came home with a head cold, but that was bound to happen soon enough. We are "snorkeling" her nose a lot (I couldn't think of the word suctioning, so now it stuck).

Did someone......... say............ milk?!

Soon comes month #4...
