We had a wonderful weekend camping with the Schumann's and Havilands.  I will let the pictures speak for themselves.  A special thank you to Ba and Bapa for watching Avery.

9 Months Old


Avery turns 9 months today!  This last month has been a lot of fun and Avery is very busy keeping us on our toes.  Avery started crawling about 3 weeks ago and had now progressed to pulling up on everything and "creeping" a little on furniture.  Yesterday I saw her climb up 4 stairs, so a new gate just went up.  Avery did fall already holding on to the coffee table, so that is a bruise you see above her eye. She has gotten 2 more teeth on the bottom and is eating tons of table foods. Baby food just never worked out.  She goes in for her 9 month check-up tomorrow, so I'll be sure to post those stats.  I'm guessing a good 20 pounds.  Also- I predict she will be walking by 10 months...we'll see.

Shedd Aquarium





Will and I had a fabulous time at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago.  We were so happy to go with Heather and the kids.  The highlights were defintely the beluga whales, dolphins, sharks, seahorses and jellyfish. What a great day!
