4 Months Old!

So I'm a little late. Avery turned 4 months old last Monday. Here are some pics...






Oh, wait! What are those, you might ask?! Those are CHICKEN POX! My baby has chicken pox! It started Saturday morning. I called the nurse hotline because I thought they were bug bites or maybe an allergic reaction. Nope. MY FOUR-MONTH-OLD HAS CHICKEN POX!

I'm a little upset - can you tell?!

Anyway...I'm home with her today and Joe is taking the rest of the week off. She's miserable - it's been getting worse every day. She's learned how to scratch her head so now I'm trying to keep her from doing that (although it's kind of cute to watch...)

Anyway...here are some other pics from before the pox. Enjoy!



Livi cleaning my floors for me! (No, I do not use Windex on my floors. But Livi had been helping me clean the windows and then she started on the floors - I didn't have the heart to tell her to stop - she was so proud of herself. I cleaned the floors later... :) )

Trying her first food - sweet potatoes!


All done, Mommy!

Happy baby! (There's a pic of Livi in this same hat at about the same age - I'm still looking for it to do a comparison. When I find it, I'll post them together.)

Ok. Baby is crying. Have a good week.

When it rains, it pours

Ok, so I of course haven't posted in a while. It's been very busy.
Why, might you ask, am I posting during the middle of a work day? Oh, because I'm home with a sick child. It started Friday when Avery projectile vomited all over me. Twice. So she was a little off all weekend. Then Livi woke up at 4:45 this morning - she had thrown up all over her "kiki." For those of you who know how much Livi loves her blanket, this was a major thing. So I was doing laundry at 5 a.m. I then crawled in bed with her. Avery woke up at some point and Joe had to bring her in so he could shower. Because he HAD TO LEAVE FOR VEGAS!
Yeah. So I have a sick child, a baby and I'm not feeling well myself - all alone! I don't know how I'll pull this off!
Anyway...enough complaining. I have a lot of pictures. Joe turned 30 on August 29th (yes, finally!) and I had a surprise party for him.
Enjoy the pics!
Happy Birthday, Daddy!

Make a wish!

Surprise!


Joe knows how to get the girls!


Catching up


They're both smiling!
