2 month check-up

Two-month check ups aren't as fun as two week since your little one has to get jabbed in both thighs for her immunizations. It would be a lot nicer if the shots were in liquid form. Pediatricians please take into consideration. Thanks.

Avery was a trooper though, as always.

Length: 22 1/4 inches
Weight: 11 lbs 10 oz

As you can tell. She is growing well. Avery is so much fun with her grins, grunts, and coos. She is always alert so much that when it's sleep time in comes the blanket to put over her head to block out all the distractions.

People still ask who she looks like. To be honest, some days she looks exactly like her mom and other days like her daddy. You can decide.

PS We took family pictures the day of Avery's two-month birthday. Saturday was really rainy plus the BYU game. Sunday was better but cold. Pictures coming soon. You might even get one in the mail!

A baby blessing.

Avery just wanted to take time to thank everyone that came to her blessing, both those that physically came and those that sent their support through love and prayers.

THANK YOU...

from my own little chubby cheeks.

Before the blessing we took a few pictures..

Maybe it was the excitement but I don't think we got one decent picture.

Finally, afterwards there was SUCCESS:

Daddy did such a sweet job. It is a special blessing in our family to

have a Priesthood holder like him to lead and provide for our family. Mom cried, of course.

The Grandparents.

Grand-dottie helped prepare some of the food. The onions made her cry.

Everyone brought a dish... therefore we had a gourmet BBQ.

It was perfect. Ryan (RyPie) did the grilling.

Grandma Pendleton made the dress, which was precious. Grandpa cried, too.

The sweet Great-grandparents:

Grandpa and Grandma Smith

Grandma Smith had to approve of the picture mom took of her. I think she looks graceful.

The folks in attendance.

Not Pictured:(Great) Grandpa & Grandma Pendleton, Mark & Kali Christopherson w/Ava, Emily & Adam Townsley, Megan Wilkinson, Tiffany Miley, Gloria Miley & Bill, Amber & Dereck Shumway, Madison Pecht, Garrett & Kelsie Beeston, Landon & Julie, Reed & Adeline.

Thank you for coming, even though most of the time I was doing this.

It was a present for my parents so they could enjoy ALL of ya'll.

Love, Avery Lyn

P.S. I really appreciate the love from my family in Wyoming and Texas that were unable to attend. I feel blessed with so much love!

Computer problems...

Our computer has passed away. Actually it can be resuscitated , which is the good news, but it needs a new life (battery). So I guess I ran it in the ground with all the posts I wrote two weeks ago. My apologizes little buddy.

This is why there are no pictures. All of my pics are stored on that computer.

I need to do that CD back up thing, so all won't be lost when she really goes.

Its a scary thing to loose all my data: pictures, memories, papers, etc.

Note taken. Here comes the hours of back-up CDs.

She will be risen soon (thank goodness)...

like my own little Frankenstein.

Happy October.

P.S. I can't believe FALL is already here.

Dear Weather,
PLEASE let me have autumn and enjoy your crisp fall temperature.
I was not a fan of the quick cold front that visited us last week.
Snow is not welcomed yet... in a month or so you can come, and then I will enjoy you as well.

Thanks,
Katy
