Avery was born...a month ago

It's shameful, I know, that it's taken a month to announce the birth of our daughter. She was born on November 23, at 10:25 am, and she weighed 6 lbs 4 oz.

When she was born we knew we wanted to name her Avery, but the middle name wasn't settled yet. Tyler wanted Elizabeth, but I wasn't so sure. Well the vital records lady came around the day before we brought her home and needed the name so since Tyler wasn't there I decided to go with Kay as her middle name. Kay is Tyler's moms middle name and my grandma's maiden name. So Avery Kay is her name, and she is perfect.

Tommy is sweet with her. He gives her kisses and he likes to point out her facial features. So far he doesn't seem to be too jealous of her, I guess since she doesn't try to take his toys then he doesn't care much she's around.

So far she's a fairly laid back kid. She has an appetite like a horse, and sleeps 3-4 hours at a time. She's had a few rough nights, but overall she does pretty well.

So needless to say Tyler and I are pretty happy with the youngins.

Oh, Tyler started his new job up in Falls Church. He's staying with our friends the Thomas' during the week. They've been nice enough to let all of us stay with them several times while we've been looking for a place to live. So far we haven't had any luck, but I'm going up again this week, so hopefully we'll hit the jackpot. I'll let you know how it goes.
