First and foremost...Baby Girl now has a name...Avery Elizabeth! We had it narrowed down to two names with Elizabeth being the middle name for both, but when it came down to it, we both had fallen in love with Avery, so Avery it is! :) It's nice not to have to call her baby girl all the time.
Second, we took Avery on her "first vacation"...or as some people told us, the easiest vacation with a child we'll ever take! ha! We spent 6 days in Destin the week before Memorial Day and it was wonderful. Destin is one of our favorite locations and we made the most of our "babymoon"....resting, being beach bums, shopping, and of course EATING! That's by far my favorite thing to do in Destin! We even got to see those sweet Spicer girls (and of course their mommy & daddy too!) while out shopping.
We made in home the Saturday of Memorial Day weekend. J then spentSunday & Monday painting the nursery. It looks great! I'm so pleased with the color! We got the furniture arranged and it looks beautiful. The glider/rocker that we ordered from Pickles & Ice Cream came in right before we left for vacation and we finally got it setup and in the nursery after we painted. I love the chair! I imagine I'll be spending a "few" nights in it...it's covered in a super soft chocolate brown fabric. Thanks JuJu and Grampa Larry...I know Avery will love rocking in it! :) When we get all the bedding on and pictures hung on the walls, I'll post some pictures of the finished nursery.
This past Sunday, some of my sweet, sweet friends from Cabot hosted a baby shower for me. I love these women...they are like family to me and I truly do miss working with them each day at CHS. I was so excited to get to visit with all the people who came to the shower...I haven't worked at CHS since December of 07, but my former co-workers are such good friends and have huge hearts. The hostesses truly outdid themselves on the food and Miss Avery got some GREAT presents--a highchair/booster seat, boppy travel swing, bottles, bibs, toys, LOTS of cute clothes, and many other things! She is such a loved little girl already! I'm putting a few pictures from the shower below...you can definitely tell that Avery is growing DAILY! :) haha
The food spread...YUM!

Getting ready to open presents!
