Sweet Baby Kate

In my post below I mentioned our friends Jay and Angie had the sweetest little baby girl, Kate Emma.  These are a few pics of the night we went to see her last week.  It was dark and the flash was nearly blinding the poor girl, so we quit.  We are going to visit on Saturday, and there are bound to be more pics taken..with no flash.  I can't wait to see this little honey again!!!  Congrats again Jay and Ang!!

Kate Emma!

Yes, we have another new baby post! Our other good friends, Jay and Angie, had their beautiful baby girl on Wednesday. Her name is Kate Emma and she is absolutely perfect! I love that Avery is having all of these baby friends! Jay and Ang didn't know what they were having, so it was a surprise. The punctual little one was even born on her due date! We went to see her last night, and she is just adorable. It was late and dark, so I only took a few pictures and stopped for fear of blinding the poor girl with my flash, but they have some posted on their blog and you can see them if you click here: Kate Emma! Congrats to Jay and Ang! We are so so so happy for you!

Orelia Mary!!!

My friend Amy and her husband Nick welcomed their beautiful baby girl into the world yesterday!  Orelia Mary was born yesterday afternoon and weighed 7 lbs. 2 oz. and was 20 1/2 in. long (I hope I got that all right Amy!) We got to go see her today and she is absolutely beautiful!!  I'm so excited for Avery to have a little friend around, as I see lots of play dates in the future!  She is an adorable little bundle of pink, and the pictures are too cute not to share!  Congrats Amy and Nick on your new family!!!

Opening up those blue eyes!

I love Nick's thumb on her forehead, it puts it into perspective how little she is!

Ready to eat!

SOOOOOOOO  SWEET!!!!

The new family!!

Avery and Granny (her great-grandma Ellen...hence Avery Ellen :)

Today we stopped over at my mom and dad's house, and my granny is there for awhile too.  Avery got to spend some time with her great grandma and loved it!  She also got to drive and push her car around.  This was the best $10 my dad has ever spent!  He got her car at a garage sale this spring, and it is her very favorite thing.  She lights up when she sees it, and it has really got her walking.  She pushes it all over!  She also likes to drive and shift.  The yellow thing makes noises as she shifts, and she can't get enough!

Busy Busy Busy!

Well it was back to school this week for the Bahn's, hence the lack in posting.  I am going to try my best to post once a week once school starts.  It was a busy week.  Avery was back to daycare, and that went great.  She has lots of friends to play with out there, and I think they were excited to have her back.  Not too much else going on otherwise.  We are just trying to enjoy our last days of summer with Avery!  She has been busy again.  She has also been pushing her little walker things all by herself.  She can take a few steps with them, and then falls.  It is pretty cool.  I took a video of it, and will try to get that up here soon.  (Videos are a pain to upload :) Oh..we are also anxiously awaiting our friends Jay and Ang, and Nick and Amy to have their babies!  They are both due next week, so hopefully we will have some new baby friends soon!!  Here are just a couple random snapshots from the last few days.

Avery's New Chair

Her new thing is she likes to play in the refrigerator when we open it for something.  She is there in a flash! (Please look past the total emptiness that is our refrigerator right now)

Her new sweet ride (on loan from Noah and Ansley - it was their when they were little!  I vividly remember Noah in this!)

Just because this is my new favorite outfit! Her little thighs are too cute in these leggings!

Working on a nap with Daddy, and probably watching the Twins!

The park..and the face!

So we went to the park today, and Avery wasn't loving it today!  She usually LOVES the park.  It was pretty hot, and as you can see, she just wasn't really having it.  And we finally captured Avery's new face she can make.  She does this scrunchy up nose and mouth thing, and it is too funny!  

Looking less then thrilled on the teeter totter with Daddy

The slide was okay

The swing was a little better

And............the face!

Close up of the face!

More picture practice!

I hope you're not getting tired of my picture posts yet.  So I got to practice my picture skills on my niece and nephew, Noah and Ansley, again this weekend.  This time they got all dolled up and Noah was there too.  It's so fun when you have such beautiful kids to practice on.  I need all the practice I can get, so if you want me to practice with your kiddos, let me know and I would LOVE to!  I won't promise anything too great yet, but you won't be out anything but maybe a little time, and hopefully we'll get some good ones for you!    These are just a few of my favorites from the weekend..I think there are about 150 of them! I may have a problem :)

Noah's senior picture :)

(Played with a chocolate tone on this one..kind of fun!)

(Need some more practice on two kids together..this one is a tad blurry, but I still like it)

Noah looking so cool - what  a little stud

Yes, she poses all on her own :)

Love her in black and white

Pretty Ansley

9 Months

 I didn't really post a 9 month update.   She was 9 months on Aug. 2nd.  Wow..where did that time go?  The dr. appt. went great.  She weighed 19 lbs. and 11 oz. and was 28 in. long.  She is in the 70% for both (that is on the normal chart, not adjusted for her being a preemie)!  No teeth yet, but Cullen didn't get them until he was 1, so we will see!  I like her little gummy smile anyway :)  This is my new favorite pic of her!

Avery and her Friends!

Wednesday night we met up with 4 of my friends from my master's class at the park.  We all had babies within 6 months of each other.  Avery is the baby of the bunch!  The others turned one in May, July and just at the beginning of August.  We had lots of fun.  Avery loves playing with other kids.  I think she is going to be pretty excited to go back to daycare and find her friends!

Go Brewers!

Cullen's baseball team that he plays on in the summer, the Brewers, have made it to the state tourney!  The even beat Chaska the other night to get the #1 seed.  Avery got decked out in her Brewer shirt (and matching bow!) to cheer on her Daddy!  She is a good little fan! :)
