November already!
November 6th, 2007
Things have been busy busy over here, hence the lack of postings. I’ve been forever writing my paper (which is actually finally coming together) and Corey has been doing all kinds of crazy things like Startup Weekend. To top things off, Avery has come down with another cold thus restarting the cycle of family infections. But enough about us, its all about Ave.
No, we did not dress him up for Halloween. We were busy, and we didn’t feel like trying to wrangle him into a $20 costume that would last 5 miserable minutes and he wouldn’t remember anyway. He won’t even keep hats on his head let alone a monkey costume. So, sorry. Next year definitely though! I already have an idea in mind.
He’s become a giant at a whopping 16 lbs 9 oz. He feeds himself pretty much now (sometimes you can get him to take some bites off a spoon- like, yogurt). He’s officially crawling and pulls to stand in 5 secs flat, any chance he gets. I’ve got some video of these events I’m hoping to post later. He’s ramped up the fussy-meter these days and has no problem making his desires known. Like his extreme dislike of being strapped into the carseat, or his desire to eat more cinnamon apples. He says dadadadada and babababa, and mmmmMmmMmMmmm. I swear he said book, which he loves.
Soon, I’m going to make a “wishlist” of stuff we need/want. Like toys and gear and such, in case anyone is just itching to buy him something for his birthday (1 in a month!) or certain winter holidays. Crazy. I can’t believe he’s going to be a year old in a month. The time really does fly!

I was wondering what was keeping you guys busy! It seems like yesterday….that we were holding a little itty bitty baby. I miss him! (AND you guys). Wishlist is a great idea….I have come so close to buying a lot of stuff..but always wondered about sizes, likes, etc.

I know! I can’t believe the kid I’ve got now was so tiny and helpless a year ago. It’s the most amazing thing.
Right now, I’d buy 12-18mos. He’s just getting tight in the 6-12 mos stuff, but the kid is long and skinny.

Hi, I am a pediatric physical therapist working on an educational booklet to give families once they come home from the NICU on how to read their babies signs of stress or calm and react accordingly through positioning, changing the environment, etc. I will be addressing this through different routines in the day such as feeding, bathing, etc. and would like to ask your permission to use the picture you have of bathing Avery on this website. This booklet will be used in the early intervention program in North Carolina and it is part of my research project for my clinical doctorate at UNC-Chapel Hill. Please let me know your answer soon.
Thanks. Lesley Harrington, PT
