All Growed Up!


Well, our little baby is all grown up and ready to fly the coop! It seems like just two years ago we brought him home from the hospital and wondered what to do next!
Actually, it was two years ago Friday! We had a fun and quick little party on Saturday for the kid. Thank you so much to family that travelled and friends that came, too!
I must admit that I adore this kid. He's cute and although he's thinning out a bit, I'm glad that he's still holding on to that chubby face =) He's silly, too. Lately, he's been punctuating little movements, like throwing, with a high-pitched quick "doop!".

Ever since I was little, I could always find dad when I lost him in a store or wherever. Just look for a white head!

Anyway, it was a fun and busy day and I layed around all day today to recover. I think I may repeat this for another couple days to fully recover =)

And mother, I'm carrying on your tradition. I forgot a gift and found it today. But being off by one day ain't half bad!

Here's a picture of growing Avery. I apologize because it's not that great, but it's the only shot with some of the tummy. Cutie-pie Taeg is with me. Three weeks to go, baby!

Your family is so cute. I order you guys to move closer to me so that we can be friends and hang out. I forgot to tell Eric happy birthday so this message is for the two main men in your life.

Oh, your little bump is so cute! And are you naming her Avery? I highly approve! :) It's a great name and we've loved it! Good luck these last few weeks.

i'm just remembering this super awkward moment when you were pregnant with Tate, and I touched your belly, and I was like "what?" did I just do that? I hate it when people do that to me. I've never done it again. Way to go awkward Amie. Haha. Happy birthday little taters. I can completly see why you adore home. I love that pic of the the boys, doing their own thing on the couch. so funny!

adore HIM, not "adore home"

although I'm sure you adore home too.
