its been raining all week and we literally didn't leave the house once all.week.long. if you can try to imagine the crazy i've been feeling if you know me. blake has a cold and when one of my kids gets sick i pretty much put us on lockdown. i go a little crazy. i admit. i finally took my camera out on thursday to take some pictures. i knew if i kept it out it was only a matter of time before avery did something sweet. she's pretty much always sweet to blake. it's just her personality. it's also funny to hear her tell him "it's okay buddy", "aw poor blakey, you have a cough". and then of course the "be quiet buddy!". in a more stern voice. (whoops) i get frustrated sometimes. i'm not perfect. the pictures are a little grainy bc like i said it was really dark outside and 4:30 so my iso went way up! but i love them!

it started out going to get blake out of his crib after his afternoon nap and then we propped him up in the bed.

i knew before long she'd take his sleep sack off. she does this everytime if i don't.

he just loves to watch her.

yes, another confession. i let my kids jump on the bed. she's only 24 pounds. and she's a kid. you can judge me. it's okay.

and then those sweet words i love to hear. "you wanna read a book blakey? okay. i read you a book" *note to self: must record this*

and i am proud to say we have gone out to our cousin's house and shopping and she has gone potty!
