the lone star state

we made it back safe and sound! we spent week before last in corpus christi for a friend's wedding that i mentioned before. well, in that week avery decided to take her first steps. however, her daddy let her walk with a coffee can and she did a face plant on the hard wood so we haven't seen a lot of walking since! :) last week we went to colorado to meet our newest favorite little niece, gabi (she was a month old already)! she is such a good baby!!! she just eats and sleeps and is SO cute! toby and casey deserve an easy baby this time around! :) avery loved gabi too but was a little upset when she wasn't allowed to "touch" the baby...maybe next trip. avery did get to play with paul who learned you can't hit your cousin when she takes her toys! i'm pretty sure she learned to blow kisses and "give" kisses (she kisses the air) from paul as well! all around it was a great trip that went by too fast!

by the way, flying with a 3 month old is much easier than flying with an 11 month old. would you think it was cute to have a baby sticking her head in between the seats yelling "dada" at 6 am? i know i wouldn't! :) it was basically the same on the way back except the people behind us thought she was cute and it was 6pm which made it a little more funny! :) half way through both flights mark got up to rock her to sleep and then he brought her back to sleep on my chest. she really is a great little traveler! but, i sure miss those days of sleeping on the plane!

mark started his new job today so he is in dc. when avery woke up i think she was expecting people to be at our house and to her disappointment and mine it was only us. but, we have an action packed week ahead with the start of baby gymnastics and getting ready to head to dallas for the weekend. i am feeling a little overwhelmed so naturally i get on the computer to organize some pictures, got to have your priorities straight! :) and, as you can imagine i took a million pictures so here are just a couple, much more to come once i get our lives in order!
