The Big Boys!

Trevor decided, today, that he wanted to be "French". (O.K..?!?)

Avery and Gavin

We had dinner at my mom's house this evening. As we were walking through the hallway, we noticed the picture on the wall of Gavin when he was 6 months old. Isn't the resemblance uncanny!?

No "tummy time" for this little guy!

Avery has never liked tummy time, so ever since he learned how to roll, front to back, he won't stay on his front! He still hasn't rolled the other way, yet, because he is just too content on his back! He just might even learn to get around that way! (See video.)

Playing with puppy, which used to be Trevor's.

(Trevor's name for this puppy was "Baby Sister"!)

Big brother, Gavin...the light of Avery's life! (O.K. So, he has a few!)

Avery is 7 Months Old!

Hooray for Batteries!!!

Thrifty Mama!

I've discovered a new children's consignment shop in the area. I'm so excited to have one...a NICE one...close by! I don't see any reason to shop anywhere else, now! They go up to size 14, too, which is good because Gavin is the one that doesn't get hand-me-downs! The first time I went in, I spotted a toy I really wanted to get for Avery. (They have a better toy selection than Target! I can't wait till his first birthday!) So, I came home and rifled through my kids' things and put together a box of stuff that earned enough credit to get the toy! I was so happy... just look how happy Avery is! He loves it! And we haven't even put batteries in it, yet!

Look out, Grandma! You're going to have another piano pupil before you know it!

That'll Teach Him!

Avery loves his Daddy!

Heeeeeere's Gavin!

He shoots...He scores!

Basketball

Here are some pictures of Trevor's first basketball game of the season. I don't have any good ones of Gavin's game. He's just too quick! They all turned out blurry! I'll keep trying.

We were pleasantly surprised when Nana showed up to watch the game with us!

Avery's favorite was watching the cheerleaders, of course! Ha!

Trevor has pink eye(s)!

I don't know about you, but it makes my eyes hurt

just looking at him! Poor guy!

Here they are...

Six month/First cereal pictures...

"Mom, what are you trying to feed me?!"

Six Months

Avery is six months old! He had his check-up today and he weighs 16 pounds! He has been packing it on since the big switch to formula a month ago! I think he just had some catching up to do. But, all is well. He got three shots and he's cutting two teeth, so he has had a rough day. (Still just as sweet as ever, though.) We also got "the green light" to start him on solids, so I gave him his first taste of cereal, for lunch. Let's just say, he was not impressed! Since I was doing the feeding, Gavin had to man the camera, so I'm not sure how the pictures turned out. I would post some, but I'm still having some camera and computer issues. Nothing that can't be solved with a little time and effort, but between the appointments and shots and teething and throwing up of the bottle (for whatever reason) and the homeschooling, piano, basketball, cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping... You get the idea. As cute as that little guy is, I think I'm going to opt for a shower instead of emptying the camera memory card! Sleep would be nice, too.
