Cereal Time!

Baby's first bite of cereal...what a big girl!
Not sure what to do with it....
" Feels kind of funny in my mouth"....
"Does this mean I don't get a bottle?"
Big Girl wore more of her first meal but all in all...it wasn't too bad. Learning curve for all of us! :)

14 week check up

Avery had her 14 week check up this week. Doctor Kauffman was shocked when he came into the room and saw how LONG Avery is! After showing us the percentile charts, he said it is safe to say that there isn't another baby out there taller than little Avery at her age. Doc gave us the okay to start trying cereals and then start introducing baby foods. This should be fun..... :) After Avery got done smiling and talking to him, he said she is a happy healthy little girl!

First State Fair

Poor tired little girl. Avery didn't understand this getting up at 5am stuff. She is wearing her piggy outfit though on show day to cheer daddy on as he showed the Chesters. Ended up with Grand Champion Chester Gilt, Reserve Junior Champion Chester Gilt and 2nd Place Chester Boar.
She was much more comfortable in her stroller with all her favorite things from home. She likes to lay in her stroller and stretch out but not "ride" in it. It is best used to tote ALL of Avery's things!
Avery is telling Bahama Mama that she did a good job. Grand Junior Champion Spot Gilt!
Avery was petting Bahama Mama and spending some quality time with her before the sale. We were sad to see Bahama Mama go...she was a very nice pig.

Such the Daddy's Girl

Avery got to spend all day with Daddy while Mommy went to work on Tuesday. Geee, wonder who picked out her outfit?

3 months have gone by so fast

Avery playing with her dolly that Great Aunt Daralene got her. She is starting to play with toys now and already picking out which ones are her favorites.
Singin'......happy girl sitting with Daddy
Most of the time you will find her hands in her mouth!
Little miss likes to sit on mommy & daddy's bed and watch mommy clean. Hopefully she is learning at an early age how to keep her room clean?!?!?
She always has LOTS to say now days :)

12 whole weeks!

Pretty girl is 12 weeks old now. Where has the last 3 months gone? She is so much fun with all her smiles, coo's and laughing. She just loves life and loves to make those around her smile. She is trying so hard to sit up and is trying to push/roll-over. Every now and then she decides to sleep through the night...although she only wakes up 1 time normally anyways during the night (we have been spoiled by that). She likes to play with rattles now that she can hold them and shake them herself. Always exciting to see what she is going to learn next!
Flip-flop girl just like her mommma!!!!
Day-dreamin' of the ocean....

Pigs, Pigs, PIGS!!!!!!

Cute lil' girl-just hanging out in the barn
Getting tired waiting on the piggy's....ready to Hit the Hay! :)
Avery meets her first litter of Hampshire babies
She is very interested in the pigs
Getting very comfy in the pigs pen....10 years down the road she'll be sleeping in there with them!
Telling her secrets....piglet is checking her out.
Avery is very content in the barn with her daddy and all the piggy's.
Daddy showing baby girl the Spot babies!

Good dog....

Aunt Ashley, Funny Uncle Pete and Cousins-Bailey & Maxie came up from Louisville to spend the weekend at the farm. The dogs LOVED running around, playing in the pool and most of all the baby pigs.
Neither Bailey or Avery was sure of this situation....
Avery has a hand full of Bailey's hair...I don't think she knew what to do with a long-haired dog.
Warming up to eachother....
Bailey and Avery playing.....Avery liked having Cuz Bailey lick her hands! (Don't worry-we washed them right afterwards) :)
Buds :)
Think Bailey is ready for a baby DeLaney? They look quite cozy together, don't they?

Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Does it get any sweeter than this?
Avery sacked out in her Boppy....aka...Baby Recliner
Mommy/Avery time
Snuggling close while taking a nap together....best way to spend a Sunday afternoon

Just another week...

Love this ornery little grin.
Avery is starting to be difficult like her dad with pictures. She is all smiles until you get the camera out and then she really wants to focus and study this weird looking thing with one eye in front of her.
Bathing beauty
She loves her baths. She smiles as she kicks and splashes water everywhere. But then she cries when it is time to get her out of the water. In a few years she will cry when we try to get her in the bath water!
Relaxed and ready for bed

Flower Power!
Peanut has found her thumb. We have spent the past week pulling her thumb out of her mouth every time we turn around. In this pic, she has BOTH thumbs in her mouth. Exploring her hands and fists are fine but we trying very hard to break the thumb-sucking now....we are losing that battle!

When Pigs Fly?......

It's a bird....It's a plane....It's a pig? Avery showing Mamaw her piglet pj's although Mamaw is way more into it than piglet.
Okay, seriously...poor Avery. Clearly Mamaw is the one having ALL the fun in this picture! Mamaw-step away from the baby pig!!!!
Love it-oh so cuddly!
Flashin' a quick smile....
Oh no.....I think I see Mamaw coming back.....
