I’m going back 2 April’s ago when I posted this baby timeline using pics on my Samsung Galaxy. It’s been long enough and I enjoy looking back to see how small our growing girl used to be. Enjoy!
So, we have been without internet for two days now. I am writing this from my phone using data I hardly ever use; stupid AT&T…
What’s even cooler is they are finally building on the empty lot next to our house. …. right next to the nursery. Please sense my sarcasm. I guess the silver lining I’d that the workers talk loud enough that Avery might pick up a second language without us doing anything.
Since I wanted to have a post for Sunday, I figured I would just share the timeline of pics I have on my phone. Lucky you, I know!
And lucky me gets to enjoy this steamed organic broccoli with nutritional yeast, cayenne, and mustard. Seriously, I love this stuff!
Of course I’m having more of something else after, and even more after that. And yes, that’s a spork I’m using.
I’ll start with a picture of us before leaving to go to the hospital.
Here’s Kelley’s belly. .
At the hospital, I was excited about being coach.
Kelley, on the other hand, wasn’t too thrilled.
But she did great and brought us our sweet little Avery.
The deepest love we have ever known was now in front of us living and breathing as a healthy baby.
Once home, I immediately tried out the Baby Bjorn.
And Going Mom held her close with loving care as much as possible.
At four weeks we had her newborn pics taken, and I was even part of the props!
Within a few weeks, I successfully made it through a workout with Avery in the garage.
Then I grew bold enough to go on our first run.
We’ve been on many runs since the first and loving each one. The weather was nice that day, but then a major winter storm hit. No worries, Avery got to try on her bear suit!
I guess she has some growing to do. I attempted to cut her fingernails and got her finger instead, but friends of the Facebook world let me know all parents have been there.
Swaddling was a huge part of our daily lives and keeping her arms from moving was vital to sleep!
Yeah, she wasn’t a fan. I continued wearing her in the Bjorn before realizing I needed another carrier.
G-ma got to enjoy holding a happy baby fitting one of her visits.
Going Mom and I had our first date while G-ma watched Avery.
We saw Imagine Dragons in concert and had Chipotle and beer in the parking lot.
Once again, I tried cutting Avery’s nails, and once again, I failed.
I made a visit to my old workplace, Kelley’s current employer, with Avery.
Kelley was happy to see us both.
We bought a jumper for Avery, but she was a little confused at first.
Avery had her four month shots and I don’t think she enjoyed it; what do you think?
Finally, thanks to Onya Baby, I got a better baby carrier and was in love at first wear.
After she mastered rolling over, we “unwrapped” the swaddle and put her in a Zippy from Zipadee-Zip. We all like it much better!
Now that she’s stronger, she also does better in her jumper.
But the best seat is her infant positioner from Mamas & Papas.
We go everywhere together with the help of Onya, even in the rain.
And Going Mom is still holding her close and giving her all the love she can. Together, we are a happy family of three.
I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend and hopefully I’ll have internet soon again!
Edit: the internet came back late at night, but I’m leaving this post. It’s hard work to write a post on phone!!
What do you do when the internet is down? It’s sad how much we rely on it sometimes.
