Bits and Pieces

Halloween was pretty uneventful, I didn't even dress Avery up...it's too hot here and the only costumes that really fit were bunting bags. I just got her a cute little halloween outfit.



She is still very close to rolling over but hasn't done it yet. She throws her legs over and rocks back and forth and you can tell she really WANTS to roll! She even gets mad because she can't! She has rolled on softer surfaces like the couch and the bed but that's because there was a bit of an advantage with us sitting and creating a slant.

She has started giggling which just cracks me up! I love it:-) She sounds like she really wants to laugh really hard she just can't figure out how. She is also grasping at toys and pulling at things. She likes bringing everything to her mouth. She likes to play with her feet too, seems like she is finding her body parts.


We are trying to figure out a time to head to MN and SD for the holidays but all the tickets are so much! We might just decide to come back in January when tickets are less money and the airports are less congested! All the H1N1 cases are freaking me out so being in a full airport sounds like a giant petri dish of disease!

I am almost an aunt again:-) Mandi is due any day now and is very sick of being pregnant (I remember that well!). I'm very excited to meet my new nephew and to learn his name:-)

Lastly, I decided to get a tattoo! I was going to get Avery's name but decided that was too "obvious". I did some research and figured out that each month of the year has a birth flower along with a birthstone. July's birth flower is a water lily, which is pretty much a lotus flower, and since July's birthstone is a ruby I got a red lotus flower. That sucker hurt! I can't have many more kids! LOL!
