Well...

Not much going on this week-relatively speaking (since we will have another member of this family in just 12 short days!)-unless you count the shocking elimination of Lil' Kim on Dancing With the Stars.  I am to the point where I literally can't stand on my feet for longer than the length of a shower or to make Avery a meal.  So, we have watched a lot of TV lately-I know, not always the great thing for kids, but it's the best I can do right now!  Of course, we make most of it very educational...until mommy can't stand one more silly song!  I have been working with Avery and her baby a lot lately, but that isn't going the greatest.  When we put baby in her bed (aka: a diaper box with a blanket) and give her a small-sized bunny to cuddle with, Avery promptly takes the bunny away from her and pulls the baby out of the bed-by her hair-and jumps in the bed herself.  I don't know if this is a sign that she's going to regress and want to be in the crib and want everything the baby has (oh please don't want bottles, pacis, etc...) or what???  

Other than that...I have been wondering what the excitement over twitter is (sorry if you twitter, but I'm not getting the fascination with it!!) and why people in Fort Wayne drive so terribly.  Enjoy the weekend!   

So mommy tried to sneak in some 'adult' TV this morning by watching a little of the Today Show...NKOTB performed and Avery must have been diggin' their music because she was a dancing machine:)

She had some great moves...takes me back to the 3rd grade when I loved NKOTB!

So funny, Artie got our hall tree put together this week and Avery LOVES to have conversations with herself in the mirror.  It is sooooo cute and she can occupy herself for a long time-on the negative side, we can't keep the cushion on the bench because she keeps taking it off to climb on!

I can't believe you only have 12 days to go. Enjoy.

Try not to stress out too much about Avery and her dolls. Josie was always very rough with the dolls and did much better with the actual baby. Don't get me wrong, Nevie still received a few good maulings those first couple weeks but she lived to tell the story.

Relax as much as you can. Enjoy the weekend.

Love the pics of Avery dancing to NKOTB. Too cute.

I also love Avery with the NKOTB. Oh oh oh oh oh, the right stuff;)

Man, do I hear you on the sitting on the couch bit- I have been pulling stomach muscles left and right that leave me unable to even move, so we have watched way more TV in the past few weeks than we usually do. In fact, our breakfast and lunch is in front of Curious George typically;) Don't feel bad about it, and remember it's just temporary:)

Yay- 12 more days!!! I am so excited for you!!!!
P.S. Did Cindy ever set up a blog or add any more pics to that one site?
Love,
C:)

I LOVE your hall tree!!! I am so jealous- I wish I had a place to put one in my house!

Sorry to hear you can't stand very long, but enjoy the "quiet-ness" while you can. Good luck with Avery and the baby!!! I can't believe it is only 12 days to go!!!

NKOTB are the BEST!!!
