Happy Thanksgiving!

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! We have an awful lot to be thankful for this year:
1- I successfully completed physical therapy school (yes, this is a great accomplishment!)
2- Our easy transition and move to Noblesville, IN. We are employed and have a house to live in.
3- Our fantastic launch team to start The Heights.
4- Avery Kate. Enough said. :)
5- Our friends and family are the best. We love you guys!

There is a lot more that could be added to the list. God is good!

Our Thanksgiving was fun and unique this year! Kenny was unable to travel with his family to Missouri due to work, so he joined us for a meal. We (mostly Kenny) cooked a turkey, mashed potatoes, corn, green beans, mac n' cheese, stuffing, and rolls. It was sooo good! Here are some pictures from the day:

3 weeks old

Today was Avery's 3 week birthday! Time is just flying by... She fits in so well around here, it's hard to believe she's only been around for 21 days :)

Today we went back to the doctor and here are her stats for the week:
Weight- 7lbs 11oz (that's an 8oz weight gain this week!)
Height- 21 inches
Head circumference- 14 inches

We have to go back next week (again!) for her 1mo checkup. After that we should be good until her 2mo.

Here are some pictures we took this week, don't you just LOVE the jeans? :)

Avery and I decided to let Indiana know who the real Crimson and Cream colors belong to. Today is Avery's first OU football game.

2 weeks old!

I can't believe a whole week has gone by since I've posted! I took Avery to the doctor yesterday for her 2-week check-up and here's her stats for the week:
Weight: 7lbs 3oz
Length: 20 1/4 inches
Head circumference: 14 inches

She's definitely getting bigger! Since she's not quite back up to her birth weight yet, we have to go back to the doctor again next week for another weight check. Dr. Fitzgerald isn't concerned, as long as she keeps gaining weight from week to week. We'll just keep forking over the co-pays... :)

Here are some pictures from this week!

1 week old!

We have successfully managed to keep a baby alive and healthy for a week! Time has really flown by and it's been fun getting to know her and spend time with her every day.... we love our Avery!

I took her to the doctor for her 1 week checkup today and here are her stats:
Weight: 6lbs 15oz
Length: 20 inches
Head size: 14 inches

So based on her length that they measured today, they think she might have been mis-measured at the hospital... or she's superbaby and grew 1 1/2 inches in a week. I vote for the mis-measurement :) Either way, she's 20 inches now! We'll go back again next week for her 2 week checkup!
