News, News, & More News!

We have a bunch of wonderful news to share on the blog. First, Jesse got a new job working as a mechanic at the ConAgra Foods plant here in the Tri Cities. That's fabulous on so many levels!! (1) He has a job and isn't laid off anymore! (2) He's making more than he did at his last job! and (3) once he gets his feet planted at this job, he might be able to transfer to one of the plants in Idaho! So hopefully this will be our ticket out of Washington! YAY!! Secondly, we are moving into a 2 bedroom apartment. It's not quite a house but we're working on it. But yay!! No more stroller in the living room!! Our small 1 bedroom apartment has turned into Avery's large nursery/playroom. It just isn't working anymore so we're moving in two weeks to our new place in Richland. Can't wait!!


Now some news on baby Ave. She's still growing as fast as ever. She's hitting her milestones just right (sometimes sooner than most). It's really exciting when she does something new for the first time. Her newest milestones are turning her head to follow objects, bears weight on her feet (she loves this), smiles (which melt my heart), and she's still working on gaining full control of her head but she's almost there. She's also discovered her hands; more specifically, her fingers! She hasn't quite mastered it but she loves sucking on her hands. We think she might be left handed because she always roots and turns to her left to suck on her hand. She'll be just like Uncle Justin and Auntie Em! 

She loves her dad!

Loves her bafs!

This swing is a godsend!

The happy grandparents
