For Martha :)

We traveled to Paris last weekend and were happy to be told that I needed to update our blog more often! It's always nice to know that others like to look at pictures of your child as much as you do (well, almost as much). So this blog's for Martha...

While we were visiting Paris, Roselyn came over to play. RoJo (as we like to call her) is already ballin' at the young age of 3 months in her J's that she got from Uncle Kory and Aunt P. (For my baseball minded family, J's are Michael Jordan basketball shoes.) RoJo let Avery try them on... I'm not sure what Avery thought. Could it be that Avery has more of an affinity for the click of metal cleats and the earthy smell of the leather baseball glove? Not that I'm pushing her in any particular direction. She could be a multi-sport All-American if she wants. :)
Avery finally can sit for a little while in her Bumbo seat. Here she is helping out in the kitchen. After about 5 minutes her little head gets tired and slowly begins to bob lower and lower, so I'm cooking fast these days.
A couple of nights ago we had a great poop explosion experience. We ran out of our wonderful Pampers Swaddlers and were using Huggies until I could get to the store. This is dangerous because somehow Avery can completely circumvent the absorptive power of Huggies and everything ends up on her clothes. This night I heard it coming, but it was too late (notice the dark stain on my sweater). Clay scooped Avery up and tried to save her socks by ripping them off, but instead slung little drops of poop all over the wall, her calendar and one small drop on Jaymie's "Guide to Parenthood" book. It was all over Avery as well so bath time it was!
Daddy better hope it's all out! Naked babies are so cute, but it's a game of Russian Roulette!
Avery has come to like her baths. I love how she is staring intently at her Daddy here.
We got this cute little frog towel from our dear friends, the Kings. I think Avery really likes it!

Thanks for the new pictures! I vote with those who want more posts. Avery is so cute, and I really enjoy your "mommy" comments.
Pretty clever of Clay to wear scrubs around the house....saves on the wardrobe with the "poop master" ;)I know that isn't the real reason why he is in scrubs.

It's such an honor you did this just for me! I'm happy to share Avery's blogs with everyone else who loves to keep up with your precious little girl, tho. It made my day to see the new posts!

Wow, she is getting so big and grown up! I love her bald head and big eyes. I also will agree with you that Pampers rules the diaper kingdom. I tried the cheap store brands and had similar experiences as y'all had!

Yes, stick with Pampers! They are the best! Avery, come over and play soon! Love, Cassidee
