A new addition to the family

Hi there. Something was in the water last May in my family because not only were we blessed with Emma, but now there's another little dumpling. Welcome Avery Grace, my cousin Scott and Jen's new baby girl. She was born March 28 at 1:35 am

Jen and Scott came to visit us here in DC for New Years, the second year in a row for Scott. Jen and I sat back sipping Grenadine (who's idea was that anyway?) as the boys wallowed in their Guinness (or whatever the heck they were drinking). Things are surely going to change this year! In any case, congrats to Scott and Jen - we can't wait to meet little Avery!

Emma is growing so fast I can't keep up with her. She's now holding her head up during tummy time which is right up there on the cuteness scale with her smiles. She's so confident and grins from ear to ear when she makes eye contact. I just have to take a picture, it's a heart melter.

We're growing out of our Newborn clothes, which makes me sad. I've tried to stretch them as long as I can but she's not digging not being able to stretch out. So, on they go to the storage bin for girl number two, if there ever is one. Dave is confident the next baby will be a boy - check back in a year or two and we'll see if he's right.

Dave's birthday is Saturday so everyone be sure to call and harass him - he'll be the big 33! I can't say much, mine is Tuesday but I'm only going to be 32, so there! Big plans for Saturday are to have some friends over for a BBQ. It'll be a tight house but fun nonetheless. It's really gotten us motivated too, which is great - we have new sod in the front yard and the cabinets are screwed in in the kitchen! Go Dave! Now I just need to hire a maid to clean the house before then and we'll be all set!!!!
