Pumpkins!

Avery was totally excited to go the pumpkin patch this year and kept yelling "punkins!" She loved watching the farm animals and felt it her responsibility to yell out the name of every animal she saw... just making sure people knew what they were looking at... "PIG!" "SHEEP!" "DUCKS!" You get the picture. It was awesome.

New Camera

So, I have been saving up for a digital SLR camera and finally got it! I LOVE IT! It has been addicting and I find myself taking pictures of everything as I learn all the fun little things that this camera can do. So, here are my very first pics with my new toy!

Swiper No Swiping



Avery's new favorite thing is watching Dora the Explorer (I would say for me is a bit less annoying than Elmo, so that's nice). Avery actually looks a little like Dora :). She is totally glued to the show and is absorbing everything in it... characters, sayings, etc. So this was her dialogue with Brian this morning over breakfast (inspired by Dora... if you know anything about Dora, this will make perfect sense):

AVERY: [Eating her cereal] "Uh-oh!"

BRIAN: [Acting surprised] "What!"

AVERY: "I hear Swiper fox! That sneaky fox try to swipe my milk!"

BRIAN: "What do we say when we see Swiper?"

AVERY: "Swipy no swipy!" [slight pause] "Ohhh mann!"

Let me just say that she will have these little interactions ALL day long and at totally random moments. It is so so funny! We love watching her having these pretend moments." Pin It

Calling All Moms

I am sending this out to any moms because I need your wisdom and advice. Brian and I are feeling a bit nervous about switching Avery into a "big girl bed" and would love to pick your brain. Avery has not been the best of sleepers and her new favorite thing to do is have a little jumping party in her crib instead of taking naps... EXHAUSTING for me b/c it means I don't sleep either.

So... if you are reading this and you have ever had to switch kiddos from crib to bed, can you let us know anything that worked or didn't work for you. We are open to anything and just want to start thinking now so we have some ideas of what to do. AND... knowing that baby schultz #2 is on the way in April, we want to be wise in how we do this whole thing.

Thanks!

Now I am off to try to catch a few minutes of rest before Avery wakes up... yes, she is actually asleep today! PTL. Pin It

Little Artist

Avery and I went to her first ever art class. It was really just a time to get messy (and I didn't even have to clean it up!!! even better!) and have fun trying a bunch of different art mediums. She LOVED the paint best and we have lots of sheets of paper completely covered with gloppy paint. It was awesome! And she did so great.

Heartbeat

We heard the heartbeat of baby schultz #2 (who the girls I disciple have given the name of "baby lime"). It was really good to hear the baby. If you haven't ever heard a dopler of a baby's heartbeat, it sounds a lot like a helicopter.
