12 weeks!

Someone is12 weeks old today!  Sometimes, it seems like just yesterday she was born, and other days, it seems like she's always been a member of our family. :)

Avery - 12 weeks!

 As I already mentioned, this past week was my first back to work.   It went pretty well.  I actually made it to work early (just a few minutes) every day.  Not sure when the last time that happened more than once in a row.  :)  We seem to have settled into a pretty good routine so far.  Carson has been starting his bedtime routine between 7 and 7:30 (since he gets too grumpy if we wait any later).  Then she seems to start getting fussy between 7:30 and 8, so that's when her routine starts.  She's been in bed by 9 most nights.  And she's sleeping really well!  Thursday night (5/24), she slept from 9-5:30!  I of course woke up in a panic at 5, but she was still snoring away.  :) That's been the longest stretch of sleep to date.  She's been consistently sleeping until 4:00 or 5:00 most nights. 

 

We've enjoyed a 3-day weekend and tomorrow is back to the real world.  :(  We tried to make the most of this weekend though.  Even though it's been 90's the past few days (Yuck!), we made it to the park Saturday morning before it got too nasty.  Carson had a blast.  Probably unfortunately for him, Carson tends to be overly cautious like his mommy.  He didn't like climbing up the slide because he could see below and it scared him (like at Farm Park the other day when he could see the water below).  So Daddy helped him climb.  And he didn't want to get in the water alone either.  Once he did, he was done.  It  was too cold.  And it made him wet.  Haha.  :)

Cautiously climbing.  Darn see-through stairs.

He was very hesitant to go under by himself.....

 Not sure about the little fountains either....

Ducked his head in and ran back out

Daddy and Avery

Finally went under with Daddy

He held his arms up after and said, "Umm....I got wet".  LOL.
