6 Months...and so cute!

The other day Brett asked me if I liked being a mom. Talk about a loaded question! I had to think for a second and take a deep breath. Then I looked over at our cute little rug rat and told him, "I don't always like being a mom, but I LOVE being Avery's mom!" Hopefully some of you veteran mother's can relate.

Avery is already 6 months! Here are her stats.

Weight: 16 lbs 12 oz

Length: 25.75 inches

Head: 16.75 inches

She's rolling all over the place!

PF Chang's for Daddy's Birthday! He's 28...so old!

Some of her Favorite things...

Prunes

Nanas

Carrots

And anything else she can get her hands on!

I was brave and decided to take Avery to SLC for a week to go visit my sister, Holly. Brave...because I took a 6 month old on airplane alone. Boy do I have a story for you!

While I was in Utah we went and visited my grandparents in Price. My Aunt Lisa and cousins, Kristen (and her 3 kids), MiShelle (and her little boy), and Brynna (due in October with baby girl #1) made the drive from Vernal to come see me and of course meet baby Avery. It was so much fun. It's always a party when the Hendersons show up! It meant so much to me that they drove 2 1/2 hours (each way) with 4 adults and 4 kids in one suburban, just to spend a few hours with us. Family means so much...we love you all!

Here is Avery with her

The weather was beautiful and we spent a lot of time outside. We went to the park and on walks almost everyday.

Aunt Holly and Cousin Shayne even took us to Hogle Zoo.

Holly is expecting Baby girl #2 the end of November!

I couldn't get her to look at the elephant. She was way too entertained by her cousin Shaynie bug!

Aunt Holly let her try out her jumper.

And she loves it!

Cute cousins!

Shayne was so good with Avery. She would tickle her tummy and toes, splash in the bath with her, and of course share her binky! She is going to be such a great big sister!

Thanks for letting us come visit Holly. We loved getting out of the heat and we love you! Let's do it again soon!

Next stop...Samoa! In three weeks we are going to visit Brett's parents on their mission. It will be the first time they meet Avery! Gammy and Papa...here we come!
