We are still here!

No we have not fallen off the face of the earth...yet!

Having a baby makes things a little more difficult. I am trying to adjust to "Avery Time". She is still an on demand baby. We have been working on trying to get a routine going, but so far it has not been successful.

This sums up my week pretty well. Avery bossing her mom around.

Love Bug oh so tired from keeping mom and dad up at night.

Our little one will not sleep in her bassinett anymore. Since having a cold, she will only sleep on mine or Nick's chest. I think it soothes her to hear our breathing and heartbeat. She also gets really fussy when I am not holding her....AT ALL TIMES. My mom and grandmother have both assured me I was the same way as a baby. Sorry mom and dad!! Now I do not mind holding my baby girl all the time, but it sure does make it hard to stay up on housework, to take a shower, to make a meal or even to go to the bathroom. My mom told me she would have to wrap me up in a blanket and buckle me in to my carseat so I would think she was holding me. I tried with Ave....and failed. She caught on to what I was up to. Smart one! (I am even holding her right now as I type. She will not let me put her down.)

Miss Ave sleeps during the day. She's got it all backwards.

I have had my mom come up to Logan to help me because I was getting behind on just about everything. Being a mom is so much harder than I ever expected, but so worth it as well. Ave and I are getting better and better at nursing every day. She can't keep up with my milk supply, so I am still pumping all the time. No complaints though. We are slowly getting the hang of it.

Avers LOVES her bathtime!

Nick has been such a wonderful dad. He tries to be as hands on as he can. He is on weekend duty so I can catch up on my sleep. I am SO grateful for weekends!!

We haven't been up to much the last ten days though. The weather was craptastic for a while. We were able to go on a two mile walk through Logan River Golf Course on Easter Sunday.

We also just got back from Salt Lake this morning. We had some errands to run on Saturday, had breakfast with our awesome friends Sean and Erika and then celebrated Easter with Nick's dad yesterday. I was a genius and did not put sunscreen on Avery, so now she has some pretty rosy cheeks and a red nose. I am brilliant I know. We were sitting outside by the pool all day and I thought if I kept her in the shade with a blanket, it was enough protection. Fail!



Anywho, we will be in Salt Lake for the next four weekends. So if you would like to stop by the house, you are more than welcome to. :)


Here are some pictures of our Easter walk through the golf course:

We will try to keep up on the blog as much as possible. We take soooo many pictures, so our posts may just turn into a picture gallery. We hope you all have a wonderful week.
