Ready for some football...

It has been several weeks since I posted last. We have had so many things going on and lots to share. On September 29, Avery got her new pink helmet. We were a little worried that it would be a hard adjustment for all of us, but she has adjusted very well. We have been so surprised. She does not seem bothered by it at all. It is a little harder on the parents, but it makes it better that she is tolerating it well. She wears the helmet 23 hours a day, and she gets it off for the one hour to party a day. She is loosing her hair a little bit in the back but other than that, things are going great. The average time for a baby her age is to wear it four and half months. It could be more or less...we are praying for less! I am going to decorate her helmet in the next few days. Pics to come!

Josh and I went to the Tech vs. U of H game a few weeks ago, and it was a blast since we went to opposing schools. It was sad for my Red Raiders, but Josh and our friends were elated for U of H. Here are a few pics.

Avery turned five months on October 1st. Hard to believe time is passing by so quickly. She is definitely more vocal and laughs all the time at the dog, Hagen. She has recently started sitting up, but we have to stay close by because she will take a nose dive when she is reaching for things. She also started eating some fruit along with her oatmeal. So far she has not met a food she hasn't liked besides rice cereal.

"I love to clap in Daddy's lap"Getting ready for the big Tech vs U of H game. Josh said Avery needs a new outfit after the big U of H win.

All dolled up to root for the Red Raiders.

First day with her helmet on. They intially put this piece on her left side to help with her tilt, but it was removed because it limited her range of motion in her neck. Thank goodness it was removed because it was hard to feed her with that on it.

"I love to read books before bedtime."

Intently watching cousin Carson play with my toys

"Look at me sitting up by myself playing with Carson"

This is really the closet they have gotten, and I think Carson has realized she will be a fun friend to play with. Before he didn't know what to do with her.
