Days go by

To be honest, I feel like my creativity/wit have been dwindling over the last few months on this blog. My life is still good, I just have a hard time capturing and then releasing it into words.

So to those of you who follow this blog to keep tabs on us, thanks for enduring through this dry spell. Maybe I'll get my spark back! :)

So here is what is happening lately.

Avery is still little miss petite and meets with a new pediatrician tomorrow to see how her weight gain has gone this month. In a nutshell, Avery has transcended the need for food that all us mere mortals require.

And, yet, without taking in much more than cheerios and cheese, she still has so. much. energy. Maybe she's solar powered?



Books are simply something she looks at for about .265 seconds before moving on to the next thing. I think I've made it a 1/4 of the way through Goodnight Moon before she's off my lap and scampering off to something else.

She still loves her thumb, but pretty much only sucks it when she is tired.

Avery LOVES going to the grocery store and getting loved on by all the fellow customers.

And this was one of Avery's first experiences with grass. She was trying with all her might not to let any of her skin touch it. Pretty sure Jillian Michaels has nothing on Avery's abdominal strength.

Oh, and here's some new news! Kyle and I are training for a half marathon at the end of May. I run with Avery three times a week while Kyle wakes up at 6:30 in the morning to run before school (pretty impressive dedication for a guy who had never ran 4 miles before last Saturday.) On Saturdays, we do our longer runs and Kyle gets to push Avery in the stroller. As tiny as that little girl is, I'm amazed at how much faster I can run if I can use both my arms! 

And that, my friends, is a wrap.
