Super Bowl Sunday

We had our Annual Super Bowl Party....and Avery's first "big" house party. Decked out in her A&M jersey and big bow, she had a blast watching her favorite sport and playing with her new friend Jade who's one day younger. Avery will be taking her first plane ride in the next couple weeks when we go to Dallas so she can meet her Aunt Tiffany, Uncle David, and cousins. We can't wait to get to some warm weather and see the family!

Avery Rose is 5 months

Avery turned 5 months yesterday, and her personality is starting to really come out. She's rolling over....stomach to back only since she's not a big fan of being on her stomach. And laughs at the strangest things (must be a Dirk's thing). Today we had a play date with Avery's friends Jovin and Patrice. Jovin's Mom Amber let me borrow his sit and play jumper, and Avery went crazy. I've never heard her laugh, giggle, and squeal more. I video-taped her tonight playing in it, and once I figure out how to attach it to the blog, you can all enjoy the moment as much as we did. Here are a couple photos of her in the jumper, and the other one on her 5 month birthday yesterday.

New Year, New Events for the Dirks

So one of my New Years resolutions was to try and keep our blog updated on a regular basis. Its Jan 12th, and yesterday we had the first event of 2009...Avery's Baptism. She was such a good baby through the whole thing and only cried when being immersed in the baptismal font (or dunk tank) as my sister kept calling it....funny girl. Happy 2009!

12 Weeks Old

Its been a while since my last post, so I thought I better get everyone caught up. Avery Rose will be 12 weeks on Thursday, and she's growing and changing so much. Here's a photo of her in the outfit Auntie Tiffany gave her.....Peace, Love, Rock and Roll! Figured I better get a photo of her wearing it before it doesn't fit anymore......so cute! And the other photo is one of my favorites of her so far. Too bad I couldn't catch her smiling (darn flash delay on my camera). I can't believe she's almost 3 months old already.

Avery the Aggie

Mom and Bob came to visit this week and brought Avery this cute little Texas A&M jersey. It fits her perfect, so of course we had to snap some pics.......ahhhh precious!

Our 6 Week Old Bat Fairy

Avery turned 6 weeks today......how fast time flys. Her Halloween costume came today as well so I couldn't resist putting it on her. She is our precious Bat Fairy! And for those of you that haven't heard of Etsy.com, check it out! I found this costume on there (shipped in 3 days) and everything sold on the site is home-made.....from jewelry and fun gifts, to cute childrens' wear.

One Month Old 9/28/08

Sorry everyone, we've been slacking keeping up with the Blog. Having a newborn sure does keep us busy! Not to mention the lack of sleep....but well worth it!
Here is a pic of Avery on her one month birthday last Sunday. I can't believe its been a month already. And for giggles, the other photo is Josh and Avery and how similar their hairlines are....hee hee. Must run in the family!
