Avery's 1st Easter - and So Many Cousins

Avery took her first road trip to SSC for Easter weekend. The truck was pretty crowded, so Hank got to sit (or should I say sprawl out) up front with Alex while I sat in back with Avery and the luggage.

She looked so darn cute in her Easter dress, but unfortunately she spit up ALL over herself about 10 minutes after we walked in the door. Thankfully Grandma Pat was nice enough to get it all washed and we put it back on in time for pictures.



Her cousins - all 9 of them - were so excited to meet and hold her.
Ellie

Kayla

Shelby

Caitlin was sad that she didn't get to hold her new baby cousin, but she had a temperature of 102.7 degrees so she kept her distance.

Keegan

Collin

Keller

Dillon

Libby (the youngest cousin) is a bit too young to hold her just yet.

Mommy Loves Snuggle Time

Yay!! Daddy can help feed me now

We found out last night that Avery doesn't care where her dinner comes from, as long as she gets to eat. She had no problem latching onto her very first bottle. Maybe Daddy can help with some of the 3am feedings now...well at least on the weekends.

I get my good looks from my Daddy

Everyone keeps saying that Avery looks like her daddy....and if you check out the baby picutres below there is definitely no arguing that. :)

She sure does smell good...

Other than smelling her about 20 times a day, Hank doesn't seem to notice Avery too much. He is still getting LOTS of attention - especially from Dad. Avery doesn't seem to notice Hank too much either. He can bark 2 feet from her and she doesn't even flinch.

We Love Bath Time

Avery absolutely LOVED her first bath at home. Hank even tried to get in on the action by climbing into the bathtub.
