Entering the World of Food

Life has been eventful at the Lupov house as Avery is entering into the world of food. So far she has only experienced rice cereal with milk but she seems to enjoy eating. She has been very interested in watching us eat and trying to get our food so we thought it was time to start. I am not sure how much cereal actually stays in her mouth vs. ending up on the bib, but she is already getting the hang of it. 

This is a video of Avery playing in the bouncer at daycare! I thought it was pretty funny!  

Some one has discovered her toes and now all she wants to do is grab them. 

Per request of Katherine here is a picture with me in it, doesn't happen that often these days, Avery steals the show! 

Dirty Day at Daycare

I was able to pick Avery up from daycare on Thursday. This was the first time I have been able to pick her up....and she had a nice surprise for me. She had not gone poop in a week so we were waiting for it to arrive and it sure did on Thursday. When I arrived to pick her up they handed me a cute little girl in her diaper because she has pooped through two outfits and they didn't have anything else to put her in. She saw me and just gave me a proud smile, like she was saying "Look what I did Mom!" Now being November is was a little chilly outside so I wanted to put her in something for the trip home. We had luckily packed a sleep sack for her nap so I stuck her in that and she fell asleep on the way home.

Beautiful Fall Day

Life at the Lupov house has been a bit of an adventure the past several weeks. Unfortunately, I had a kidney stone about 2 weeks ago that knocked me out for a few days. It was very painful and bought me a trip to the hospital for a CT scan. I am lucky to have great friends here that took good care of me very quickly. Avery has also brought home some viruses from day care so there is a lot of snot in our house. Between Avery, Ivan, and myself I had to go buy 6 more boxes of Kleenex this weekend. Overall, we are all doing well but have just been taking it easy. 

We enjoyed a great weekend at my parents house enjoying a perfect fall day. The leaves are changing and starting to fall and the kids enjoyed jumping in the pile that Grandpa made for them. We went on a hike in the woods and then cooked out hot dogs for dinner.  We have discovered that Avery loves being outside, so she really enjoyed the day. It was great for Avery to spend time with her family - cousins, Aunt, Uncle, and Grandparents. We are blessed to have our family close. 

Here are some fun pictures from our fall weekend!!
