May 23, 2008--Belly time

We began belly time early, but Avery didn't like it very much. Addie came over to make sure nothing was wrong.

May 21, 2008--Cousins

After a few weeks, we got the three girls together for a picture. Poor Avery can't even hold her head up, and has to rest it on Brooklyn.
Here Brooklyn is 10 months, Avery is 2 weeks, and Addison is 19 months.

Mid-May 2008--Avery's first weeks

Looking back through photos, I realize that I didn't take as many pictures as I did during Addison's first weeks at home. I hope Avery will realize that it wasn't a case of nothing new to capture on film, but more that I was simply too busy to devote one of my hands to camera-holding!

May 14, 2008--Taking a nap

While I know that my second child will not do everything exactly like my first, I guess I still expect her to follow in Addie's footsteps. So imagine my disbelief when Avery actually took a nap as a fresh-from-the-hospital newborn.Basically from day one, Avery has also wanted to go to sleep at 8 pm every night. It took Addison a full year to get to this point!

May 13, 2008--Avery's first bath

A few days after we were home, we summoned the energy after Addison went to sleep to give Avery her first bath. Like Addison, we bathed her in the kitchen sink. But also like her big sister, Avery didn't like her first bath very much. But I'm happy to report that she seems to enjoy them now.
