Kitchen Queens Picnic Party!

Thursday night was my once a month girls get together for our themed cooking event! We all met up at my friend Rachel's house and enjoyed a nice "picnic" themed dinner. It was delish! Everything was decked out in sea shells, pineapples, etc... and we had fun Hawaiian music playing in the background. It was SO nice to get to see all my girlfriends and catch up. I took Avery for an hour and then Chad picked her up so she didn't have to sit outside and so I could visit with my friends. I brought my friend Melissa and I think she had a ball! I just love Melissa. Afterwards I went to her house for a bit and visited with her and her hubby who I just adore! We look forward to spending more date nights with them!!!

It's now Friday and Miss Diva didn't sleep last night. I was up ALL night so mom is here now and I plan to sleep most of the day if possible. I have a few errands to run so I hope to get that done later on during the day as well. The weekend is going to be nice... Chad and I are going to spend the day with Avery and take her to the farmers market and on some walks! I can't wait!

We are doing really well for the most part... Avery sleeps from 10-2:30 most nights and then I feed between 2:30-4:00. Then she sleeps again most normally until 7ish and then we go back to bed after the 2nd feed of the night. So I am doing okay on sleep unless it's a night like last night. She's had a tummy ache! Poor girl! She's so strong and starting to lift her head up a lot. She also knows her passy and will hold onto it when it's in her mouth. Her little blue eyes are starting to stay opened more often now and she is focusing on me when I feed her. Her favorite thing is being on her tummy. She loves to lay on our chest and snooze! She hates being changed into outfits, hates bath time, and hates her diaper changed. Anything that involves putting her down, she hates! She loves to be held. Of course anything that involves her being undressed and cold, she will cry at. She has a little billy goat cry that is so funny! We need to film it. She's my little angel, that's for sure!!!!

I want to say a special thank you to Daddy. Chad has been amazing through this whole process and doesn't gripe AT ALL! He helps me feed, change, you name it! He is the most amazing husband in the world and I couldn't have done this without him! This Sunday is Fathers Day... how special, his first Fathers Day as a father! We love you Daddy!
