Avery can hold her head up

Avery is Three weeks old now, and can finally hold her head up. She is getting big fast. We brought her home wearing preemie clothes and diapers. Now she's into new born sizes. It's amazing how fast she is changing, and how much a day can make a difference in her.

She still continues to be an easy baby. She is slowly starting to sleep through the night, she is only waking up two times. So it's nice to be getting a little more sleep.

Christmas 08

Hope everyone had a good Christmas, we sure did. Above is a picture of Aniston and Dad on Christmas Eve. It was taken right before Christmas eve dinner at my grandmas house. It was a small gathering this year. Just my mom, grandma and us.

Here is a picture of my mom holding Avery in her "My First Christmas" outfit that she bought her. Avery looked so cute.

Here is Annie opening her Christmas Eve PJ's after her bath Thanks grandma, for the number one most annoying toy(Talking Elmo). Annie loves it though, so I guess we'll let it slide. There was a Christmas miracle this year. My mom found another Bear, in Canada of all places. So if anything else happens to Anistons poor bear we have a backup again. I took this picture to refresh everyones memory of what bear looked like before he was lit on fire and ran over by a lawnmower. Poor bear! We went to Yvonne's for Christmas dinner. They got Aniston a big box of dress up stuff. Annie couldn't wait to start trying things on. I think her favorite thing is that pearl necklace that is just her size. Last but not least we have a picture of Annie playing with her new favorite toy bus.

Aniston Pooped in the Potty!!!!

Ladies and Gentlemen, boys and girls.... Aniston has reached a major milestone. Are you ready for this?.... Annie pooped in the potty!!!! Applause please!!! Yes, yes yesterday was a big day for the Moss family. I was up changing Avery and Annie came and stood in the doorway. She started grunting as if she needed to potty. Jason asked her if she needed to poop. She said yes, so Jason took her to the bathroom and helped take her pants off. She then sat on the potty and pushed, and then POOPED! Her first reaction was yucky. Jason reassured her it was OK, and a really good thing. We gave her a treat and sang her praises. Now all I can think is hooray, and hopefully it wasn't a fluke. Especially because a few days before she pooped all over the floor an tracked it everywhere.

All we are missing is sleep....

Two weeks down, and the rest of our lives to go. Avery is now two weeks old, and she is such a good baby. She hardly cries, and eats really well. She smiles and laughs in her sleep. It is so cute. She had her two week check up on Tuesday. The doctor said everything looks great. She weighed 6 lbs and 7 oz. So she has gained a little over a pound since we brought her home. She is starting to sleep better at night too. The first week was so hard. She would sleep all day, and be awake all night. She didn't cry, but would just lay there and make squeaky noises and grunt. But with that being the only problem I think we are doing pretty good.

As for Aniston she is adjusting great. She loves giving Avery kisses and hugs. She isn't mean to her at all. Our only problem is Annie keeps taking Averys bink. Annie was a little bit of a hand full the first week or so, but she has snapped back into her normal self now. Still a busy handful, but not as bad.

She's Here......

She is here!!! We are proud to announce the arrival of our new baby girl, Avery Marie. She was born on Tuesday December second at 5:34 p.m. She weighed 5 pounds 13 ounces, and was 19 inches long. She is perfect and healthy and we both are doing well.
