A Month Old?

Melissa and I got into a little debate today as to whether Avery could be considered a month old on Wednesday because that will be 4 weeks since she was born, or if she would be a month old on Friday because that will be Oct 26. Anyway, you be the judge, here are a few pictures of Avery at a month old. Oh and this is a picture, also of her first bottle.

New Shed Roof and Gutters

This may not be as exciting as the baby pictures but they can't all be award winning posts. I am almost through with my month long paternity leave from work. It has been very enjoyable being able to be home with Melissa and Avery during this first month of our babes new life. I will miss being able to see all the new things Avery is doing everyday and hope she'll save any milestones for my days off.



I have not spent the whole month holding the girl, however. I've been able to wrap up a bunch of outdoor projects I hadn't had time to get to previously. I had a few bundles of shingles and other supplies left over from the roofing projects so I figured I'd re-do the shed roof to match. I also finally got around to putting up gutters, another project I had left over from the roofing project we did this past summer. There were about a dozen other little minor jobs I did, including painting my garage floor but these are the two that stand out... Next project, hum... maybe new windows?

Avery Week Two

Avery has continued to do well at home. A visiting nurse came to see us on Wenesday and Avery was back up to her birth weight of 7lb 5oz. Here are some recent pics.
