Here it is, the beginning of October, and SNOW has arrived already! Not that I have a thing against snow, per say. I mean, it's nice and all...it's beautiful, blankets the world, and helps one appreciate times when seeing the sun out coincides with a degree of warmth, and I love the fun it provides. But, what happened to FALL?! You know, the crisp air that requires only a light jacket, carmeled apples, candy corn, scarecrows, and mainly: the 60-70 degree weather Fall?! Instead of going from hot, to dead cold, let's have some weeks of high sixties and low seventies, just for fun. Who's with me?!
Well, October means a half a year has gone by since Avery arrived in our life. It's funny how it's hard to imagine life without her here, as if it never existed, or that she always has existed in the family, even though she'll only be 6 months! Looking back, it is amazing how quickly babies change in such a short amount of time:

Here are a few photos from each of her months! She is amazing, and we feel lucky to be her parents!
Now that I have actually posted this, the days have gotten warmer, and I am LOVING it!! I hear the cold will return shortly, so I hope to enjoy the warmth while it is here! It's all perspective to not complain, but enjoy what you do have, right?
Avery also reached a milestone: she has begun to say "da da", which Scott, of course, LOVES! My favorite is when she just babbles as loud as can be, almost with an urgency to her "DA DA", down to a small, cute whisper you have to lean in to hear "da da da", with a huge smile on her face! (We've been told she smiles with her whole face...it's great!)
She also thinks it is funny to cough, since Scott laughs at her when she does, and mimics her until she starts to laugh/smile. This leads to her "fake" coughing, and you can feel her tummy forcing in, and such a fake sounding cough coming out, in between smiles! I love that the smallest things were so entertaining...who knew?! She also likes to growl to herself in between her jabbering...so funny! It's like since she found her voice, she just "talks" all day long, loud/soft, deep growling, and everything in between! Honestly, what would the world do without kids?!
