Daddy's New Car

We took Ben's car to the shop Monday morning for what we thought would be an oil change and a new battery. Instead, we found out it needed a bunch of expensive repairs! So we decided that money would be better spent on a new car. Not that we have ever really enjoyed car shopping, but we quickly found out that car shopping with a two month old is just plain miserable. Avery cried the entire time and went through 2 bottles, 2 bibs, 3 burp cloths and 2 outfits in just under 4 hours. We think they finally accepted our offer just to get rid of us :)
Otherwise, it has been a rather uneventful week at our house. So I am posting some random pictures we have taken recently.
Avery is now wearing some of her 3 month outfits! So last night, I packed up all the clothes that she has outgrown to make more room in her closet. I had forgotten just how tiny some of her preemie clothes were!
This week she is starting to show more interest in her toys. She has a little phone rattle that she holds and shakes some. She loves watching the mobile over her bassinette and the birds on her swing. And she is beginning to babble quite a bit. So I now spend hours at a time trying to get her to talk to me.
Avery is also interacting with Tucker now. Recently, she has started watching him a lot more. She even pets him when he gets within arm's reach! Tucker loves his baby and runs to meet her at the door when she gets home from school. And he snuggles up with her to take naps on the couch.
