Our lives have been very full lately. Avery is now 2 months old and has been attempting new skills every day - among her latest tricks are smiling all the time, turning herself 90 degrees whenever she's on her back, and our personal favorite, SLEEPING THROUGH THE NIGHT! Yippee!!!! She's recently started sleeping anywhere from 6-8 hours at night, giving us some well-needed rest. She also had her first round of immunizations (5 shots at one visit ... ouch!) and handled it like a trooper. She's growing quickly, now a whopping 10lbs. 4oz. and eating like a champ. She's also enjoying her days with her 'Nonnie' (Amy's mom), who is taking care of her, now that Amy has gone back to work.
Our other big news is that Amy has accepted a job in a fantastic general pediatric practice here in Norfolk, Tidewater Children's Associates, to start when she finishes her residency. All that training is finally coming to a close, yet another reason to be grateful.
Finally, we had the joy of celebrating Avery's baptism this past Sunday. As you can see from the pictures, she cooperated quite well! We were pleasantly VERY surprised when her Auntie Kya (also her godmother, along with her godparents -Marty's sister, Denise and her husband Rich) arrived for the occassion all the way from Seattle ... so cool! By the way, the baptism gown Avery is wearing is actually made almost entirely from Amy's mother's wedding gown and was also worn by her cousin Kelsey for her baptism ... a very special Schnettler tradition. We have so much to be thankful for.
