Where does time go?

Wow, I can't believe it has been over a month since my last post. It is hard to find time to get on here anymore. I promise I will try and start doing better, but I can't promise anything since I go back to work in about 4 weeks. :( I am starting to get really sad about this.

What has been going on over the last month? Not too much, just watching Avery grow way too fast and seeing Braylon learn many new things also. Avery is now just about 8 weeks old. She will be eight weeks old on Tuesday. It is so hard to believe. She is now cooing and smiling all the time. She is a very happy baby when she is not tired. That is the only time she gets fussy. Very easy on mommy and daddy. She is starting to sleep great! We have had a few nights of 6 straight hours of sleep for mommy and daddy. Her main night schedule is eat at 9pm, 3am, and 6am. I can handle that! She is starting sleep well in her bassinet and going to sleep on her own. I can't tell you what a relief that is. Braylon has been doing great also. He has got to be the best Big Brother ever. He just loves his little sister so much. Mommy doesn't get as many kisses anymore, they all go to Avery. :) His vocabulary is growing by the day and I just can't believe some of the things that come out of that kids mouth. He is a very demanding little boy and likes to get his way. Now that the weather is nice he wants to be outside ALL OF THE TIME. Living RIGHT next to the park is a challenge some days. He wants to be over there rain or shine. :) We have been doing really well with the potty training the past month until the last couple of weeks. He just kind of stopped. It is kind of frustrating for mommy and daddy, but we will keep working with him. I think Chris and I might try and suck it up and just put him in underwear and get rid of the pull-ups. Or I am thinking of letting him run around naked around the house because I think we would go to the potty all the time if that was the case. We'll see. He is also finally getting his molars. One is almost completely in and two others just broke through this past week. I wonder if this has something to do with the potty training.

Next month is going to be a VERY busy month for us. We will be back in Centralia on the 1st for a wedding, in Hanover on the 15th for Chris's sister Jessica's wedding, my two sisters and BIL graduate on the 15th, I go back to work on the 25th and back to Hanover on the 29th for a wedding. BUSY BUSY BUSY. It is going to make my last month home with Avery fly by.

Here are a few pictures to enjoy!
