Avery's First Tooth

Avery is getting her very first tooth! No wonder she has been so fussy lately. Other than that, she is doing very well and is growing everyday.

This is probably the best eBay purchase I have made in a long time. Mason loves Monsters, Inc. so when I found a Sulley doll for sale I had to get him one. Needless to say, he loves him.

Mason discovered the joy of YouTube today. I made the mistake of searching for the cleanup song because he sings it to me when I'm cleaning. I just wanted to learn the words. Anyway, we found a Barney video and now he's hooked. I always hoped that he'd never discover Barney. Oh well; I guess there are worse things. Mason had a doctor's appointment today to get his 2 year physical for daycare. He is in the 25th percentile for weight and height which is where he's been most of his life.

New Pictures!!

These were taken at Sears on Monday, June 30. They turned out pretty good.

These were taken before Erica & Mark's wedding on Saturday, June 28. Mason did a good job walking down the aisle. He looked very handsome in his tuxedo. Avery was gorgeous in her dress. Dustin didn't look too bad either. :)

My little cowboy

Well, we all survived the earthquake yesterday. Unlike Mommy and Daddy, Avery didn't mind the early wake up call. She slept right through it! :) Mason was in Olney with Grandma and Grandpa. Apparently, it didn't take him too long to get back to sleep. Thankfully, everyone is fine.

Mason has a new toy to play on at Grandma and Grandpa's house. From the looks of the picture, he really likes it. It will be even harder to get him to go inside now! As you can see from the second picture, he really likes his cowboy boots. Dustin thought he would look extra cute in his plaid shirt. He looks like a little cowboy. If only his cowboy hat fit it would be the perfect ensemble.
Avery is doing very well. She weighed 9 lbs. last Wednesday when I took her to the doctor. She is changing so much! She listens intently when you talk to her and follows things with her eyes. I can't wait until I get that first smile! (Well, a smile that's not because of gas or a prelude to spit up.)

Mason would love to be outside but it is too cold. We're just trying to keep him occupied indoors this weekend.

Avery is doing well. She weighed in at 8 lbs. 13 oz. on Thursday when I took her to get her weighed. We finally got her diaper rash looking better. It's still a little red but it's getting much better.

Well, we've been home almost one week and things are going well. Mason is really proud of his little sister. Everyday when he gets home from daycare he goes straight to her. He is a little clingy but that is to be expected. Avery is doing great. We went to the doctor Monday morning and she weighed 7 lbs. 7 oz. She had gained 2 oz. since leaving the hospital. Dustin went back to work today so Avery and I are home alone. It has been a pretty peaceful day with the exception of a diaper fiasco this morning. But, those things happen and it was nothing a bath wouldn't take care of! Hope everyone is doing well.

Welcome Avery Lynn!

Avery Lynn Fritschle was born March 17, 2008 at 1:56 pm. She was 7 lbs. 12 oz. and 19 inches long. Avery and I got home from the hospital yesterday (Thursday) around 11:30 am. It is so nice to be home! Mason is doing pretty well adjusting to being a big brother. He wants to hold her all the time. We are all doing well. I will try to do better about updating the blog. Sorry it has been so long.
