Going to Mawmaw's x 3...




Yesterday we took Avery to make the rounds in Oxford to visit Jeremy's 3 grandmothers, Avery's great-grandmothers. First we stopped at Grandmother's (Mrs. Owens), where Avery found a new best friend. Grandmother got a new puppy, Suzie, actually Suzie is 3, so not really a puppy, but she's a Shiz Tzu, and she's tiny so she looks like a puppy. Avery LOVED her!!!! She would lick Avery's hand and Avery thought it was so funny. Of course I left my phone at home so I could only get some pics with my phone, so they are a little blurry.



Then we went to visit Mawmaw Thompson and Paw-Paw (Jeremy's Dad). Tiffany and the kids showed up, so we got to visit with them as well. Then we went to Jacksonville to visit Mawmaw Colley in the nursing home. Avery enjoyed Mawmaw's flowers. I pulled out a couple of daisies for her to play with and she was so funny. She was twirling them around as fast a she could. Such a ham!! I think Mawmaw was glad to see her. Please pray for Mawmaw, that she will make a quick recovery from her surgery. She fell and broke her femur last month & has had a rough time since.



Today I took Avery to the Dr because she screamed when I cleaned her ear (with a washcloth) last night. Then this morning it was crusty, so I knew something was up. Well, she has an infection in each ear and her left eardrum is perforated!!!!! UGH!!!! Poor baby!!!! She hasn't even been pulling at her ears. She had a low grade fever on Sat and was a little fussy, but I just thought she was cutting more teeth, b/c like I said, I never saw her pulling at her ears. Oh well, it is what it is, so she is now on anti-biotics (Augmentin) and some anti-biotic/steroid ear drops. Fun, fun!!!!



We are now looking forward to an Easter egg hunt this Sat, that they are having at the church we've been going to. Robin & Will and Logan & Addie are supposed to go also. Hope it's nice weather.

From the beginning....

So, I'll start from the beginning of the journey that has been my life for the past nine 1/2 months. The Lord richly blessed me and my husband on the early morning hours of May 24th with our precious little Avery Magnolia. Six weeks after she was born, we moved back home to Birmingham, AL from the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains of Asheville, NC (which we desperately miss now). We moved into my grandmother's old house till we found one that we liked. Then we moved again when she was 4 months old into our current house. So by the time she was 4 months old, she had had 3 nurseries, lol.

So, fast forward to present day, I now have a sweet as pie, 9 1/2 month old. She is crawling all over the place and pulling up on anything she can, including the cat. She has 4 teeth on top and 2 on bottom. Unfortunatley today, those top teeth busted her top lip when she crawled over me and landed face first. The first thing I saw was blood on the blanket we were sitting on, and yes! I paniced. But after a few wales of crying, she was just fine. I gave her a frozen teether and luckily she knawed on it for a while.
Her favorite thing to do these days is play in the tupperware cabinet, which I'm sure drives her Daddy crazy. He can be a little OCD about the house. Here are some pics of her cabinet adventures.


I was also able to take a few cute pics of her today just playing around the house. And yes, she still had on her PJ's and yes, she has a bow in her hair with the PJ's, only b/c I'm trying to figure out which barettes stay in her hair the best.




Here are pics from when our friends Tiffany, Lockette & little Zoe came to visit for the weekend. Ella is also in some of these pics.






Here are pics of her nursery b/c we've done some updating.


And here is just some random cuteness.....

So new to this blogging, but I figured I'd try it....
















So my friend, Tiffany, has got me thinking I should start a blog of my own.





I'm just going to test the waters and post some pics of Avery and Jeremy from the weekend when they were in Carrolton for a visit with NeeNee.
