Pink Cheeks
Saturday night was Avery's first fever (102). It was extremely sad and I would have done anything to take away her discomfort. Along with the fever came a runny nose and provided some humor for mom. I would catch her lsmaking her lips and rubbing her nose. At times it reminded me of Pooh with his hunny. I realize this may be disguisting, but also very cute at the same time. The weekend was spent cuddling and loving our little nugget. I wouldn't have traded the lazy weekend for anything......she finally fell alseep while I was holding (this never happens).

On the agenda; Baby Proofing
What a busy week! A week ago today Avery slept 10 hrs. and has continued this pattern all week! I am enjoying the uninterrupted sleep! Avery has also discovered how to get into a sitting position while in her crib. So I guess it's time to lower the crib.....
Monday, Avery and I were in the kitchen and as I was washing the dishes she was rolling/scooting her way around. Well she found her new favorite thing.....DOG FOOD! Needless to say she was able to get one piece down before the rest was confiscated. I am pretty sure this will be a battle for many months to come.
We also have quite the little chatty Kathy. She is babbling more and more everyday and her favorite word of course is dada. Although associating it with Josh is going to take some work. :)
Friday, I woke up with my eyes matted shut - PINK EYE (yuck)! Luckily, our friend Dr. Amanda Furr came to the rescue and had me drops called in by noon that day. My main concern was Avery I would have felt awful if she would have gotten it. So far so good and I am much better today.
Saturday, While in the kitchen amking treats for Kyle and Kelsey's "surprise" engagement party. Avery decided she was going to crawl/scoot her way to the dog food bowl. It was adorable! Although her dada says she looks like a wounded duck...haha! Baby gates must go up this week!
That evening we (Walls & Kasting's) hosted a "surprise" engagement party for Kyle & Kelsey at Mallow Run. Surprise is in quotation's because I ruined the "surprise" a couple weeks ago. Kim (Kelsey's mom) had just emailed and I was responding and I thought well I'll add Katie (Kelsey's sister) to the email well not only are these girls twins their emails are very similiar lastnamefirstname@gmail, so I bet you can guess where this is going. Kelsey got the email and not Katie......I was extremely bummed!!!! Regardless, it was a great night and everyone had fun! It was the first night Josh and I had been out by ourselves for a long time. Although, I enjoyed the evening it was hard coming home without our little one. Avery spent the night with my one of my bestie's Laura. Keeley and Avery had tons of fun! Keeley adores Avery and Laura said the first thing she said when she woke up is Avery - How cute!
As I said last Sunday, today was yet again another Sunday Funday. Breakfast with college friends that made the trip for the party, target with Avery, naps and playtime. Another great week here at the Minton house!
Crawling/Scooting - Enjoy!

Sunday Funday!
I love Sundays! These are the days we typically get to relax and have family time! Today we headed to Bloomington for the Sparks family reunion. Their were 47 extended family members there today. It was good seeing all my Mamma Whaley's brothers and sisters. They remind me so much of my sweet Mammaw...Oh how I miss you!
Avery and I rode with Kyle and Kelsey and everyone knows that the T.J. Maxx in Bloomington has an excellent home goods section so we had to stop (Kyle was thrilled). Plus, Avery is a Maxinista! haha! Kyle and Avery strolled around while Kelsey and I shopped.
Then we came home to my wonderful hubby making dinner....Yum! I actually have to admit he does the majority of the cooking. The rest of the evening was spent playing and taking a bath. I believe Sundays are a little piece of heaven.

| Our First Vacation - Destin Labor Day Weekend |
Moving into 2012.....
Tonight Avery tried her first bite of mac-n-cheese. I assumed she would love it, but to my surprise she didn't. I can always tell when she doesn't care for something when the spoon comes to her mouth and her little mouth remains closed....she puts literally everything in her mouth. So we ended up with mushed carrots, bananas & apples. Then it was onto the bath and we have just now started to sit in the tub like a "big" girl. Well, this has turned into being a real chore for mom. She loves scooting, splashing and attempting to do a belly flop. I'm usually as wet as she is by the time it is all over with, but nonetheless it was another successful bath....Avery is clean! Nothing really exciting happened today and yet so far into the New Year, but that's the way I like it. Happy New Year!
