Catching Up

I haven't had a chance to post yet this week so I'm sort of catching up today while little one is (sort of) sleeping.

Monday I took Avery out a little bit to do some running around-we went to Target to get a few things and to JC Penney's to pick up her pictures (which are so darn cute!) and to the pet store to get Jerri some more food. Avery did great-she slept pretty much the entire time so it made running around pretty easy....although she is quite heavy in that car seat already! I have no idea how I'm going to pick her up when she gets bigger-yikes!
This is a cute picture I took Monday of Jerri and her "buddy" that comes to visit frequently. I came in the back room and they were both lying there looking at each other-it was so cute!

And here's Avery looking cute as always that day!


Tuesday Avery had her doctors appointment. She was awake all morning starting at 8:30am. Her appointment was at 1 so I thought she would nap by then-nope! She was awake when we got to the doctors and of course started screaming when he came in! Luckily I had her pacifier with me and it worked like a charm! Anyways, Avery is up to 9lbs. 4.5oz already! Everything looks great so we're set for another month!!

Yesterday and today we've been home-trying to get a few things done around here. Just getting myself showered and dressed before 1 seems to be a chore most days. Today Avery's been pretty fussy everytime she's tired so I've been quite busy entertaining her and trying to get her settled. I had a little sad moment today-I packed away all of her newborn sized clothing! Most of them are very tight on her and she has a TON of 0-3month and 3month sized clothing she needs to get wearing. So the newborn stuff is put away-which makes me sad that she's getting big already! Well, I hear little peanut waking up...time for her to eat!

12 Months = 1 year!

Today is our one year anniversary! I know I say this all of the time, but I don't know where that year went! It's hard to believe it has been that long-it definitely doesn't feel like it! And my how our lives have changed in a year-we went on an amazing honeymoon in Aruba, did tons of work on our house, and had our first child. It's definitely been an eventful year!

Today I pulled out our wedding cake from last year and we enjoyed it for dessert tonight. We had it wrapped up in numerous layers of saran wrap and foil and it held up pretty well. For a cake that's a year old?! Not too shabby. Although I have a feeling I'll be eating most of it (I don't think Gabe is too hot on year old cake) and it's a pretty large cake for me to eat myself!
Here are a few pics of the cake we enjoyed tonight:


Since I usually do pics of our wedding day to celebrate our monthly "anniversary", I decided that since this is the big day, I'd show some of my favorite shots from the day. Of course there are a lot more than I thought so sorry this may be long!


Love this pic of my Dad on the porch-I was inside getting dressed:








Love this one:

Mr GQ:

They told me to twirl in my dress:

Doesn't this look like an album cover?!

Yes it was raining!

Love this one-you can see us in the mirror:

This reminds me of something you would see in a magazine:

Happy One Year Anniversary Gabe! I love you very much!
