So I missed posting a video last week because I was busy preparing for our beach trip (pictures to come soon). I do apologize if I caused any of you to lose sleep from video-posting-deprivation ;o)
Anywho, Micah recently posted the cutest video on her blog which led me to this one that I just love. Enjoy!
Holy moly, my baby girl is over halfway to being a year old! Time definitely flies...especially when you're having fun with a little one. Avery is starting to do so much. She is in the beginning stages of crawling. She actually uses her head to do this, putting her head on the floor to push herself forward. She also loves to growl and it is quite funny. This is actually called "throat singing." While doing his usual music stuff on the internet, my dad actually stumbled across this accidentally...who knew?!? She just recently discovered that she can shake her head too. I hope to capture some of these moments on video. We still don't have any toofers, although I think one may peek through soon since she's beginning to aggressively chew everything she can!
Avery's nana (Shayne's mom) had her pictures made again recently. Before Avery was born, Denise had a "nana shower" and her friends gave her a gift certificate to the Picture People. The pictures are great, however we probably won't own many unless we choose to go in debt because they're ridiculously expensive. I want to show them off, but they come with the copyright stamp since they're from their site....sorry, that's the best I can do! And I will say the cutest pictures they took were nakie pictures, but I refuse to post naked pictures of my child on the internet, so these will have to do. Also, they asked us if we would allow them to put one of her pictures up in the store, so next time you're at the mall, swing by Picture People and look for our Avery Jean!
This one makes me laugh. I saw it forever ago and it has been floating around on Facebook lately, so I remembered it and wanted to share. This one's all about the redheaded boy....and I just may have to steal some of his dance moves...
So I stumbled across this video and thought it was the sweetest thing I've ever seen! Baby laughs are just the cutest but babies laughing at each other?!? Priceless. And it is dedicated to you, Hilary...this is what you have to look forward to :o)
Okay, I'm like any other typical girl and love to shop...and lets just be honest, I love to shop mostly for myself. Now that I have a little Avery in my life, the desire has transcended, except now I only want to buy for her and not so much for myself anymore.
That being said, I've now added a new dimension to my shopping experiences...consignment shopping. I've never been much of a consignment shopper due to the fact that I never find any good buys. You know those people who ALWAYS find super cute stuff and when you ask them where they got it, their response is "Oh, I got it for $8.00 at a consignment shop"?!? Well that person is not me. Consignment shopping for a baby, however, has been much more worthwhile. I've found so many (make that too many) great things for Avery for incredible bargains. Recently I hit up the Munchkin Market at Biltmore Square and had a laundry basket full of stuff (yes, I was one of the very few that actually followed the rules and went sans purse and stroller with a laundry basket in hand).
Anywho, to get to the purpose of this post (yes, it does have a purpose aside from my ramblings), one of my closest friends told me about a consignment event that her relative will be bringing to the Haywood County Fairgrounds called "Duck Duck Goose". The consignment sale has been taking place in Knoxville and is supposedly HUGE. She wants to get it going it in Haywood County and hopes that it will eventually be the same caliber event as what already takes place in Knoxville. The first sale will be this October and if it is successful, she will continue to do it in Haywood County. She only takes items of good quality and if you have things you want to sell, YOU get to set your price and you get 70% of the sale!
So if you're interested, you should definitely go...and tell your friends too! Read more about it at:
