Home Sweet Home

We made it back from our San Antonio voyage and once again Avery Beth was the best traveler. She has flown more as an infant than I did until I graduated from college! We had such a great trip and saw SO many of Ryan's family members. We spent our last weekend at a girl's weekend for Ryan's cousin Jenny who is getting married next weekend. Those girls really knew how to do it! We enjoyed some pool time, margaritas, an accupressure massage, sangria, burgers, fajitas and plenty of help with the smallest girl at the party. She did not sleep much while we were away though and so by the time we got home yesterday I was just about done! We are both happy to be home...Avery slept seven hours straight which she has not done in ten days.

So what is Avery doing? Her favorite thing to do is squeal....really loudly. They are happy squeals that usually make me giggle. They are not so cute when we are in a public place like a restaurant or airplane and folks turn to stare! She is making funny new noises and blowing bubbles; so cute! She is sitting up really well and sat in her first restaurant high chair while in San Antonio; I thought my friend was going to have a heart attack when Avery Beth started gnawing the table but all in all she did well! Feedings are still a struggle. Much improvement from when she was aspirating, however, getting her to take a full feeding is a fight every single time it seems. She is eating rice cereal pretty well and enjoyed her first veggie treat of sweet peas last week. Keep praying for her feeding struggles it is frustrating for both of us.

We miss Ryan so much and I cannot stand to think of how many things he is missing, how many smiles, how many changes. 37 more days. 37 more days. Oh and we start physical therapy on Wednesday.
