Rolling Over

We have been working on rolling over at the Lupov house. If you can't tell I like to surround Avery with her toys just out of reach so she has to roll over and get them. Most of the time it works, sometimes she just looks at me like I am crazy and starts crying. 

Here is a fun video of swim lessons for your enjoyment. 

Avery loves to play with my hair. I got her giggling pretty good the other day playing with my hair. It takes a lot of get this girl laughing, I was glad I caught it on video. 

Swim Lessons!

Avery and I headed to the YMCA this morning for her first swim lesson. We were a little nervous she wouldn't fit in the bathing suit I bought for her a few weeks ago but we were able to stretch it on her no problem. Turns out I was misinformed on the start date of swim class - it doesn't start until next week. But there were about 5 other kids/parents there that also thought it started today. So Avery and I just played in the pool for about 45 minutes. She was a bit reluctant at the start because the water was a little chilly but once she got use to it she loved it. The YMCA has a kids play area with water falls and then she just swam around with me. She was ready for her morning nap by the time we made it home. I am already excited for next week. She wanted me to show you her cute bathing suit. 

Back to the Routine!

We have been spending a lot of time at home the past few weeks. Between the Holidays and the crazy weather my office was closed for a day and Ivan's classes were cancelled for two days. We have had a wonderful break and are sad to see it come to a close. It has been such a blessing to spend so much time at home with our girl. She is changing so quickly. Here are some updates on the life of Avery. 

1. She is very close to rolling over, she gets stuck about half way
2. She is a picky eater - so far she is enjoying pears, prunes, and bananas. We have been trying a lot of other foods but she doesn't have much interest. 
3. She loves to sit up and play with her toys - she can sit on the floor for 20-30 minutes with her toys. She likes to sit up and see the world around her. 
4. She has two teeth and we think maybe another on the way. 
5. She has discovered the world off constipation - not fun! 

Update on Mackenzie and Ivan:

1. Ivan continues to have difficulty with his back. He had an MRI which showed a herniated disc. He is trying to take it easy and starts physical therapy this week. 
2. This is a big semester at school for Ivan, he has a big test in June that he is already preparing for. 
3. I am back into running after about 8 years off it feels great. Ivan signed me up for a 5K in April and I am very excited. 
4. Work is good! I have changed my day off to Wednesday which I like much better.
