Much Better

Mr. Avery is feeling much better now. Poor little guy.

Poor Avery


Avery has an ear infection. I had an ear infection every year when I was growing up. Jason never had the pleasure of experiencing the red hot, burning pain of an ear infection. I hope that Avery gets his dad's genes in this regard! The medicine seems to be easing some of his pain. So much for breastmilk being the wonder food that keeps illnesses away.

An Autumn Afternoon


Avery, Max and I enjoyed a walk this afternoon.

Avery is now definitely crawling. He skipped the creeping stage. He went from rolling to crawling. He's doing very well with table food also. He had some bits of pancake for breakfast this morning! He loves cheerios and yogurt. He drinks well from his sippy cup (he doesn't hold it yet). He had chicken stew for dinner (after a spin in the food processor). He's getting to be such a big boy!

We picked up a new pajama set today... the fleece kind with feet. It was so nice to read his bedtime story tonight and snuggle up with him! Posted by Picasa

Special Day


I'm not an overly syrupy sweet kind of girl. I'm really a matter of fact, tell it like it is, unsympathetic, overly stubborn and opinionated kind of girl. I don't whisper sweet nothings in my husband's ear. I don't give him mushy cards with or without reason. I hope he knows that I love waking up with him, I look forward to my afternoon email from him "EB", I love this beautiful and amazing child we have created. For those of you who don't know, the blog namesake comes from how long we have known each other... since we were about 11. We have experienced some bumps along the way and I suspect there will be a few more to come, but that's life, right? I am very lucky and thankful to be sharing mine with my husband. Happy Anniversary. Big fat EB to you!!!

Swim Session


The lighting in the pool is not so good for taking photos - so this isn't the best quality image but I had to share. This was our second swim time. This week Avery was getting into it by splashing his hands and kicking his feet! Check out his adorable Baby Gap swim trunks. They are yellow with multi-colored fish, a Goodwill steal for only 99 cents! His daycare friend, Marissa, also goes to swim with us.  Posted by Picasa

Averyland


Avery was involved in this two-car/stroller pileup. He seems to be taking it pretty well.

Things are going pretty well at home. Avery's up on his hands and knees trying to figure out how to move forward. He's started eating cheerios (kinda) and drinking out of a sippy cup. He's also sitting up (kinda) and definitely sleeping through the night now. Actually, we usually have to wake him up in the morning. We all went to his first swim lesson this past weekend.

Otherwise, we're starting to think about the change in seasons. We're getting a few coats of paint on some windows and the front entry. The firewood is all stacked outside in the driveway. Tonight we're working on canning some tomatoes and carrots from Grammy's garden.  Posted by Picasa

Avery meets Acadia


Today, we capped off a nice week of vacation with a visit to Acadia. It was a beautiful day for it, with nothing but blue skies and a gentle sea breeze. Avery saw the ocean for the first time, and even got to feel and taste some dried seaweed (look in his hand).  Posted by Picasa
