A weekend with one

Josh took Kate to San Antonio over the weekend, leaving me with only Avery. I had honestly forgotten what it was like to only have one kid. So.much.easier. Why didn't I have a clean house when I only had Kate to tend to? Why wasn't dinner always ready by 6, and why didn't I have time to take up sewing?

Josh and Kate headed out early Saturday morning. By Saturday night, I had cleaned the house, gone shopping for baby shower decorations for the next day, made a diaper cake, and watched 2 movies. Oh, and played with Avery.

It was so nice to get some 1:1 time with sweet Avery. We don't ever really get that kind of time, since she naps at the same time as K. It's hard to believe that she's 9 months old now...where has the time gone? She's cruising like crazy, and has even stood by herself a few times. She waves bye-bye; she claps; and she dances anytime music comes on. Oh, and she also likes to give high-fives. She demanded one from the doctor the other day at her appointment. Speaking of her appointment, she's doing beautifully. She's checking in at 18 lb, 8 ounces (50th%) and is 28 3/4" long (80th%). She's a full pound and a half lighter than Kate was at this age...I think it's because she NEVER STOPS MOVING!!
Oh, and I got Kate's birthday invites done too...hard to believe she'll be 3 in less than 3 weeks! She requested a Strawberry Shortcake party, so that's what she'll get!

  2. Why in the world does anyone have more than one child? I often reminisce about the glory days of only one...ah, easy times! I'm glad that you got a little respite and time with Avery.
    Kate's birthday announcement is super-duper cute!
