a whole quarter!

happy 3 month birthday to my baby girl ... a quarter of a year old!

ps ... "a whole quarter" is from one of my top 5 favorite movies ... do you know where it's from?! :)

bffs

tonight was such a great night with 6 of my good girlfriends (and can't forget to mention 2 of avery's girl friends and a boyfriend too!) love taking pictures of these beautiful lil' ladies and can't wait to show them when they are older! i thank the Lord everyday for the amazing people i have in my life. avery & i are both very lucky!!

oops! i did it again!

so daddy really misses avery when he's at work, so today we ventured up to lake geneva for a visit with daddy and mommy's old co-workers. leslie, nick's boss, was out sick when avery visited the first time so she was dying to meet her today. as soon as leslie comes in i instantly give avery to her. things were going great until i hear uh-oh. leslie moves avery away from her body and avery had pooped on her!! "it" (meaning the poo) had slid out the right side of her diaper, through her pants and onto leslie's shirt (a bright white shirt mind you!) i felt so terrible.... avery thought it was funny! :) thank the lord i had an extra diaper and sleeper in my diaper bag! and doubly thank the lord that leslie had an extra shirt in her office (what a prepared nick's boss is!) go figure ... avery won't have accidents in the courtesy of her own home, but at daddy's work...and on his boss...seems more fun for her!! by the time i made it down to the sales office, they had all already heard the story (i forgot just how quickly word gets around there!) cheers to seeing old work friends and hoping that nick still has his job when he gets home ;)

next on the agenda .... girls night at our house! can't wait to see some of my favorite ladies and a is excited to see her buddies cece & scarlett again! i'm sensing another photo shoot coming up - better charge the camera!

12 weeks!

avery is 12 weeks old - turns 3 months on friday!! she had a great weekly shoot last night - so many good ones, but wanted to highlight one of her favorite activities this week: sucking on her hand & thumb!

daddy's girl

so nick was getting a lil' jealous of all of my photos with the babe, so i thought i would help him out and take a couple of them together. here are some of my favorites!

11 weeks!

thumbs up!

avery found her thumb this weekend! it has to be one of the cutest things i have ever seen! i hope she doesn't grow up to be a thumb sucking toddler, but for now, i can't get enough of it!
