Avery is 8 Months Old!

Dear Avery,

This past Friday, you turned 8 months old!  Holy smokes, you are growing like a weed!  Mommy and Lily took you to get your pictures taken in the morning and then we all had lunch together.  It was really, really, really hard to pick out what pictures I wanted to get because they were ALL so cute.  I didn't want Daddy to get mad so I only picked two this time.  Your little smile melts my heart.  I love you so, so, so much little girl.  It is so fun to watch you grow and change, but at the same time I wish you wouldn't grow up so fast.  Pretty soon you won't be a baby anymore.

What Avery is doing at 8 months:

~wearing size 3 diapers and size 9 month and some 12 month clothes

~eating 2 meals a day and nursing around 5 times a day

~waking up 1-2 times a night for some unknown reason!!!

Time flies when you are having fun!  I love you higher than the sky and deeper than the sea sweet baby girl.  You will always be my baby.
