Guess what?????


For the last 3 nights this sweet little girl has slept through the night....normal Texas nighttime hours!!!!!

YEAH AVERY!!!!!! Your mommy and daddy are so thankful that we might (just might) be getting you in a routine!

We don't want to jinx it or anything but the last 3 nights have been heaven in our house. She usually fusses about 15-20 minutes and then she is out like a light!!! Believe me, Paul and I were both feeling a little sleep deprived for the first 10 or so days we were home with her erratic schedule but it looks like we might be getting this parenting thing down after all!!

One of the things she loves is when her daddy (still feels weird typing that) tickles her belly. We get instant laugh out loud cuteness!!!!

We have been low key this week. I have been working on the pictures from our trip. When you combine mom's and my pictures we took a whopping 1452 pictures in China. Yes, that is one thousand, four hundred, fifty two!! Now it is on to the task of deleting duplicates, editing, and organizing.

We are getting Avery's first professional portraits made today (like we need more pictures?) and then tomorrow she has her first appointment with the pediatrician.

Have I told you lately how much we love this little girl?????

Hope everyone is having a great week!!

That's awesome! A good night's rest makes all the difference, doesn't it?

Love the purple bow. Too cute!

Congratu-friggin-lations! Finally.

I am dreading having to go through what you all went through....Lord give me strength.

She looks adorable in the pics...she is just sweeter and happier looking day by day. How that is even possible is beyond my comprehension...but it's true.

Yeah for Avery...but mostly Yeah for Mommy and Daddy (that's you and Paul)! I can't wait to see your photos from China (like I've never been there, huh?)!

Love you and can't wait to see y'all on Saturday!

See? Kelley and I told you it would happen...and we called it, almost to the day. It takes about a week and then it is smooth sailing. Not that she won't have bad nights from time to time but you have gone through the hard part. And you did beautifully!

Love you and see you Saturday!

She is too cute. Love the almost toothless grin/giggle.

She gets cuter everyday!

We completed a domestic adoption and felt the very same way on her first visit. You will get use to it and I found now that the pediatrician know us, they stop asking the uncomfortable questions!
