Well we have been here for 3 1/2 months already!
At times it feels like it should be a lot longer than that, and other times it feels like 3 months is about right, haha. Slowly but surely we will feel more at home here I am sure.
But we have been trying to keep busy. After we had been here about 7 weeks me and Avery flew to Oregon to spend a week with Hayden's parents. We were sad to go without Hayden and we missed him a lot, but we sure had a lot of fun. And Avery hasn't stopped talking or praying for Wojo since.
About 3 weeks after that we headed to Rexburg for a quick trip to visit the Busby's there. We were able to surprise a few of the girls and that was a lot of fun. We came at a busy time for them, so that was kind of a bummer but we still had a good time and it was a lot of fun to spend so much time with Hayden. And since then we have just been home and we don't have any more travel plans for a few more weeks, As fun as it all was, I think it took a toll on Avery and threw her off her schedule, so its nice to be back home for that reason.
We have made a few weekend trips to St. George and we sure love being able to go. It is such a big vacation spot and we are lucky to live 40 minutes away. I also have attempted to make a trip down there with Aves by myself, and it was quite the adventure. I am sure once I get more familiar with this place then I will be more comfortable going without Hayden. All I know is that there is no way I am going to be able to do things like that on my own for a while once the new baby comes! Haha, Or else I will be begging Hayden's grandma to come with me and help out. Plus I decided to take Aves to lunch on my own and thought it would be fun to go inside so she could get out of the car and run around in the play place a little bit. Turns out that she thought it was hilarious to stay at the top of the play structure and point and laugh at me all the while ignoring me telling her to come down. She was up there for like 20 minutes!
This girl. I tell you she keeps me busy!!
But have I mentioned how much fun she is?
She makes me laugh all day long and she really is my best little buddy.
She is smart and witty and cute and we simply cannot get enough of her.
Here are some pictures of the past month here..
Free cone day at DQ
Visiting the St. George Temple.
She LOVES it.
It is the most sweet thing in the world.
Walking to church in her pretty Easter dress.
See what I mean?! She is hilarious!
She does things like this all on her own!
Taking a snooze in the car.
Again, her own doing.
Avery the hipster.
Helping me make dinner,
with socks on her hands that she refused to take off.
Me at 16 1/2 weeks pregnant with #2
I am showing much more quicker this time around!
Enjoying a sip of the good ol Dr. Pepper
Baby no more.
My little girl's first time sleeping in her new bed.
So bittersweet.
It is bittersweet watching her grow up. I love it and am so grateful to experience it
but man oh man does it pull at my heartstrings to watch my baby grow so fast.
I swear she was just born last week!
But she is full of so much personality and spunk
and it is so fun to watch.
She sings all the time,
and she has even used to potty a few times!
We find out if this new baby is a boy or a girl in just 12 days and we can't wait.
We are beyond excited about this new baby, but it's hard to wrap my head around the
fact that Avery is not going to be my baby forever. We won't ever have this time back with her
and so I am trying to soak it all in and focus on this time that she will have both mine and Hayden's full attention.
We love her. She is our whole world!
But we are so excited for her to have a little sibling and to watch that relationship develop.
We are blessed she is our first child, we just know she is going to make the best big sister.
