Avery's 2 Year Pictures

Avery Turns Two!

Instead of having a birthday party for Avery this year, my friend and I decided to have a joint get together celebration (her son is one day older than Avery) in Kemah! We ate at Cadillac Bar and then rode the rides. The kids had a blast and so did we! Here are some pictures from the fun day.











We couldn't go to Kemah without going over to the seawall to see the ocean. Avery is in LOVE with the beach (she must get that from me!) and kept saying, "Wow". It was so cute. We got there right at sunset and my mom took some nice family photos!







Avery's 2 year birthday celebration was a big success! I am so glad we decided to do this instead of a big party because I know she had a lot more fun this way. I still cannot believe she is TWO. Time sure flies! She had her 2 yr appointment yesterday and it went great. She is way ahead developmentally. The doctor was shocked when I told her Avery already knew some colors- blue, yellow, pink, black and purple. She can also count to 5 and she says new words every day. She is 28lbs and 35 inches! I am so proud of her, she truly is an amazing little girl. <3 I am so lucky she calls me Mommy.

5 Months!

Ok, I know he turned 5 months old about 2 weeks ago, but cut me some slack! We got his adorable onesie from a great friend of mine. Check out her Etsy Store: http://www.etsy.com/shop/littlebirdiebabyshop

She is very talented and also having a sale right now! :)

Caden is such a delightful guy. He weighs about 18lbs already and is happy as can be! We started oatmeal on Thanksgiving and he has been doing really well with it. He also likes carrots and pears so far! I think we are going to try green beans next.

Videos!

Here is the most recent video of Caden laughing. He is such a happy boy!



Here he is rolling over for the second time. He hasn't done it since, haha!



Avery usually goes running in the other direction when I get the video camera out but here is a cute one:



Since then she has also learned to hold up two fingers when asked how old she's going to be!

This is my favorite video. This is pretty much what happens when I try to get something Caden is doing on video, lol.

Disclaimer: At the end she is not calling me a "bitch". At least I don't think she is because she wouldn't know that word. I think she is saying "reach" because she wants me to give her the camera.

Fall!

I think Fall is my favorite season. You have the excitement and anticipation of the holiday season fast approaching. We finally have some nice weather (sometimes, ha!). There's also those yummy pumpkin spice lattes from Starbucks!

We took Avery and Caden over to Memorial Arboretum to try and get some nice Fall pictures. Unfortunately, Avery decided not to cooperate. At all. Some of them turned out really cute though. :)

Happy Halloween!

We had the best Halloween! It was Avery's first time going trick or treating and we went with her bff, Mia. They had so much fun. They kept walking into people's houses. LOL! Here are some pictures from the evening.







Caden stayed home with my mom to help pass out candy. He was supposed to be a lobster but outgrew his costume, the little chunk! Instead, he wore Avery's frog costume from last year.



We tried to get some good pictures of both kids in their costumes. As you can tell they were not having it.





I hope everyone else had a wonderful and spooky Halloween!
