Avery 6 months!

Here are Avery's six month statistics:

* She now weighs in at 15 pounds and is in the 75 percentile for height

* She's eating solid food and loving it - especially carrots, sweet potatoes, apples, peaches, and pears. She doesn't like squash or green beans. 

* She has become a decent sleeper after a little sleep training, but she has had some teething pain that has thrown us off a bit. 

* Her hand eye coordination is great. She can find her paci and put it in her mouth with no problem!

Mommy & Emily Sleepover

Emily has been dying to have a sleepover, so I decided to have a mommy/Emily sleepover to see how she would do. We pulled the mattresses off of her bed and put them in the playroom next to each other. We did a few spa treatments and watched a Tinkerbell movie before calling it a night and giggling ourselves to sleep. We had so much fun, I can't wait to do it again! 

Solid food for Avery!

Here's a picture from January of Avery enjoying her first solid food! 

Bowling!

We took Emily bowling for the first time and she LOVED it! We will definitely do this again soon!

Daddy-Daughter Date Night

Fouad and Emily continued their tradition of Daddy-Daughter Date Night at Chick-fil-a, but this year they had an extra person tag along! That's right, daddy took both of his daughters to date night! They had so much fun!

Happy New Year! Avery - 5 months!

Christmas 2014

We had an amazing Christmas this year with Emily and Avery! Our sweet big girl was excited about Santa visiting. She made sure to wake us up bright and early on Christmas morning. Even with all of the excitement, sweet Emily made sure she gave me the gift that she picked out for me first. It was a lovely pair of snowman socks! :-) 

The thing that Emily wanted most this Christmas from Santa was a dollhouse. After opening all of her gifts under the tree, we headed to the fire place to see what Santa had left in our stockings. Here's a video of Emily opening her Santa gifts:

Avery had a great time with her new exersaucer too! We had a great morning relaxing and preparing for Christmas dinner with the whole family at our house. Another amazing Christmas in the books!
