We're Getting Closer

Avery finally started taking a few steps, although it's more like falling into Paul. She's clearly having a great time trying.

Leroy

It looks like Avery is going to have a little brother. We had our ultrasound today, and everything looks great. We can't wait to meet our little guy!

Over Christmas, my nephew Benjamin was coming up with names for our potential boy(he wasn't very interested in girl names, as he already has three sisters), and he asked, "What about Leroy?". It looks like we have a great nickname until we find a real name for him.

Too Good to Pass Up

I ran across this at Etsy today. It's my new slogan.

The Energizer Bunny

I think Avery's milk must have been super-fortified yesterday morning. She scooted in circles for about an hour, pausing on occasion to play the piano or say hello to Ellie on the couch. Why bother walking when you can move so quickly the other way?

The Twins

This post is long overdue, Mark and Heather (Paul's twin brother and fam) moved on Thanksgiving Day. We are sad for us since we will no longer be in the same area, but we are excited for them as Mark starts a new job and they move back to their native Georgia. Friends of Mark and Heather's had a going away party a week before they moved, and in typical twin fashion, Mark and Paul showed up in almost the exact same outfit (blue button-up, brown pullover sweater, jeans). The outfits confused more than one of Mark's friends. Carter, Mark and Heather's youngest, is in between his Dad and his beloved Uncle Paul.

Judd Nugget

I keep delaying this post, only because I'm trying to think of something clever to say. Apparently I'm clever-less, so here's the scoop: Judd Nugget#2 will arrive some time in the beginning of June. We're really excited about Avery being a big sister and adding another Juddly (as Paul puts it) to our family. We found out at Avery's birthday party, so Paul was able to tell his family who were all in town for the birthday weekend. We've had an ultrasound to determine the due date, and all looks well. Can't wait to meet our sweet baby!

The Cutest Giraffe Ever
