1 month

Avalee is getting so big! I cant believe she is already 1 month old. She is so fun and cute! We just love her so much
These are a few of her favorite things....and my favorite things :)

her pacifier, our Christmas tree and a sleeping baby! She love the christmas lights. I guess these are mostly my favorite things- she doesn't really love the pacifier but im trying to make her like it)

 She is starting to really love bath time. She use to hate it but now she could sit there for a hour if I let her.

 This is one of my favorite things. I could hold her like this all day.

 She LOVES when I dress her up and take pictures- can you tell?! haha. I love that she is still in newborn clothes and diapers. she is just a little doll.

 Loves her bouncy chair- and I love her double chin. haha

LOVE the moby wrap! I can use both hands and she loves walking around with me- always puts her to sleep! doesn't she look cute in there :)

She loves getting her diaper changed. She always chills out when she is on her little changing table. 

love this little milk face

She is a Super Model!!

Im pretty sure we have the most beautiful girl ever! These were taken at 10 days old.

Thank you Clint for being our photographer! (checkout his blog for all of Ava's pictures http://clintondene.blogspot.com/ )

Thanksgiving

SO much to be thankful for this year. Chris and I are so blessed. We have the most beautiful, healthy, perfect little girl. We have the most amazing family that has helped us these past few weeks. We have a warm beautiful home, our health, our jobs, our love for each other...the list could go on and on! We feel like the most lucky and blessed people in the world.
This year thanksgiving was a little different. Because Avalee is still so small, and I am still trying to adjust to no sleep, we decided to stay in Boise and have our own little thanksgiving. We missed our family (and all the amazing food) but it was nice to be home and lazy all day. Our dinner was takeout from cracker barrel- ha! But it actually was good and the best part is it required no work!! We spent the day in PJs watching movies and cuddling our little Ava :) It was a perfect thanksgiving!

We were lucky enough to have Chris's parents come Friday and Saturday. Bonnie and Warren are so wonderful. They were such a huge help! They took care of all the diapers, burping, bouncing, reading, and cooking all weekend. Ava loved every minute and we have loved all the freezer meals Bonnie made! (she made 6 freezer meals in one night-amazing!) It was really sad to have them leave :( 

Just for my record....I am so grateful for sleep!!! I haven't be getting much recently so I really have learned to appreciate it :) This is what we do every night around 2, 4, 6 and 8am... good thing she is so dang adorable and sweet to make it worth it :)

rewind a little...

Watch Avalee grow :)

 My friend Clint took some maternity pictures for me 10 days before I delivered. I didn't want to do them at first but now I'm glad I did. It is such a miracle how that big belly turns into this adorable little girl....

LOVE her!

best day ever

Today all I have done is hold and love this sweet angel. It has been wonderful- Best day of my life.

 Chris got some x-box and daddy time in :)

 And.... it was a big mile stone day for this little girl! She is growing up so fast :)

 This has been mine and Avy's back ground music all day (and the rain!). I love it and recommend it to anyone who likes violin music.

Avalees first week

1 week old today! Best week of our our lives.
Here are some pictures of her first week.

First time daddy holding little Avy

 First time I am holding her (as I am bawling because Im so happy and trying to take a picture with my iphone haha) She is so beautiful

 Most amazing grandma ever- this first week she has..... made amazing home made dinners every night, helped clean and do laundry, made 2 blankets and a rice heating pad, and let me catch up on all my sleep. I wish I could hire her to stay forever!!!

 Avalee is such a sweetheart. She is seriously never fussy- always nice and happy

 We have a ton of bows and flowers but we are going to wait a few years to wear them....hahaha... they are all bigger then her head!! lol

Starting to suck her finger. That maybe a bad trait from her mom :)

 These are some pictures of her room. We still need to hang pictures of her up, but this is what we have so far.
This is the hand sanitizer they have at the hospital. Funny that it is called Ava-gard! Everyone needs to put on their Ava-gard before holding her :)

 On our way to her first Doctor appointment. All bundled up for her first outing. She was perfectly healthy!
Height- 20 inches- 75%
Weight- 6lbs 1 ounce- 20%

Perfect in every way!!! We are completely in LOVE with this little girl. She is so sweet and adorable. We can not believe how lucky we are to have her.

Here are some pictures of her first few days

 Our first few hours with little Ava. A little tired, but soooo happy! The delivery went so good. Really fast and actually painless... I am such a lucky mom! Everything went so smooth and easy. Who ever said having a baby is hard?? haha

 Grandma and Grandpa Webster. Avy's first visitors :)

 Getting ready to go home. (we hate the car seat!)

 First day home.

 Grandma Thomason and Daddy.

 Look at those long skinny legs! They are beyond adorable.

This is only a few of the hundreds of pictures. More to come later.
There are not words for how much we love this little girl. She is such a such a sweet, nice, cute, perfect little girl. We could not be happier!!
