Easter

 

 We were able to go to my Mom's this year for Easter. I wasn't sure if we would be able to go but thankfully everyone was well. It's that time of year where Avery can finally get out and around people some. Colds, flu and RSV are still around but nothing like the Winter months. She's only been out one other time besides Easter. Slowly but surely she'll meet everyone :)

We had her an Easter egg hunt on a blanket. She really didn't care that much about it. I think she was more interested in chewing on a toy. It was more for us than her anyway. 

Ethan was a little bumbed that he had to hunt eggs inside this year. I think he still had fun and even though it was inside he still managed to break a sweat.

Of course we didn't forget the true meaning of Easter. It's not about bunnies and eggs. Unfortunately we weren't able to go to church. Avery's Dr. and her Neonatologists told us church is the worst place for preemies. Everyone wants to touch babies, and people don't want to miss a service even if they're sick. This is so true. Hopefully we'll be able to go this summer. God knows my heart and knows why were not there, and that's all that matters.

Not only did we celebrate Easter we also celebrated my sister's 21st birthday. Yep, that's right she's getting old ;) We had a great time and I look forward to many more family get togethers with the Princess!

 

 

Toes

 Avery's new favorite thing is her toes. She's always holding them and rolling around :) So cute!

Mango and Mum Mum

Today Avery had her first Mango and her first Mum Mum snack. She loved both. I make all her food homemade so I really didn't want to give her the packaged Mum Mum but I caved and got her some.

They have no nutritional value, they're just hard rice disks that melt when she slobbers on them. I guess it doesn't hurt for her to have a little treat now and then. It's not like it's replacing a meal, and she won't get them all the time. I thought it would be good to help her with teething and to teach her to self feed. She has no problem knowing what to do with it, since everything she can get her hands on goes in her mouth.

She's a great eater and has liked everything she's ate thus far with the exception of green beans. However green beans mixed with sweet potatoes or carrots are a big win in her book! Her very first food is still her very favorite, that food being avocado. She would literally eat a whole one if I would let her. She'd take avocado over anything sweet any day!

On a side note I know everyone who reads her blog doesn't have facebook so I've decided to start posting some videos on her blog. I also consider Avery's blog kind of a journal so when I or maybe even Avery (one day) look back on posts there will be videos. I usually on put videos on facebook, frankly because it takes forever for videos to load to the blog. I've found a faster method so here's some videos for all you non-facebookers :)
