Movin' On Up

After months of looking and looking and l-o-o-k-i-n-g...we found a house we both loved. From the moment we pulled up we felt like this could be home, inside and out. We are so fortunate to have family that continuously helped us look for the right house suitable for us and our preferences; located closer to both our parents then we were (finally!!!), financially suitable for us and enough rooms for our family and hopefully a little brother or sister for Avery in the next two years.

We get the keys January 11, 2008.

Much Thanks to Aunt Jean (there Jean!!), Shannon, Mom and everyone who helped in the process.

Daddy&Me - Guide to Bathing

1st. You will need one dirty baby. Preferably after a messy dinner. Strip him down to his/her birthday suit.

2nd. Add dirty baby & toys (dirty baby - clean toys all you smart butts!!!.) Wash & rinse.

Last but not least. Dry.

If you know anything about Avery you'll be quick to notice that he is, well, big!!! The run of the mill baby tubs just don't seem to cut it. When Jarod and I would give him a bath his legs would be hanging out the sides or at least some part of him.

When we first found out we were having Avery we got to experience the fun of registering for our baby shower. Getting ahold of Targets registry scanner was like "being a kid in a candy store" to say the least. Especially because other people are buying the candy for you!!!

I am pretty sure it was one of the first items scanned and I remember clearly how excited Jarod was when he spotted the inflatable duck tub. Whoever got this for us at our baby shower thank you!!! The appropriate age listed is for infants/babies 6 months old and up. Needless to say Avery will probably outgrow this tub in the next few months...really.
