I love this boy!

So the other morning, trash day, Gavin heard the trucks outside and was just totally obsessed with going out to look at them. So after waiting for a while looking out the window we just moved a chair by the door for him to wait on his own. It was pretty funny. Also, how could I not just die laughing when we came to me this morning with both vacuum attachments going around the house vacuuming. He is totally my child!

Daddy with the Kids

It's so fun to just snuggle...and Ren is really good at it! He loves snuggling the kiddos. He calls Avery his little snuggle butt.

Avery Update

Man, I've been so blessed with such great kids! Avery is such a good baby. She is one month old today. She is stating to outgrow her newborn clothes. She has the tiniest little legs and body, but somehow they're filling in her clothes! She is such a strong little thing. We've been putting her on her tummy for tummy time and she already rolls onto her back. We even took her into the doctor and he had her on her tummy and she arched her back like crazy like she does, and she flipped. He said "Wow! 18 days old and this girl already cant be trusted!" She got some pretty bad baby acne this past week. It's kind of clearing up now, but just looks so itchy and irritated. She absolutely LOVES showering and bathing. Ren will normally just take her in the shower and she just melts. Her hair is starting to lighten up a bit, so we'll see if she goes blonde like Gavin! (Lets hope!) Enjoy the pictures!

The Arrival of Avery Priscilla Livingston

Avery is almost two weeks old now... Time flies when you are nursing every 2-3 hours and chasing a 2 year old! Here is the birth story.

Sunday Aug. 28th I went to church in the morning, thinking I was gonna go to the doctor the next morning and BEG him to schedule an induction. I even planned out what I was gonna say to him. By Sunday evening at 6:00 we were eating dinner and I started getting contractions. I kept getting braxton hicks and then going on a long walk and they would stop as soon as I would get home from walking, so this time when I went for our walk they kept coming stronger and consistent and didn't stop when I got home. Ren's brother Tad was spending the night at our house, so he stayed with Gavin. Ren and I got to the hospital at 9:00 pm and I was dilated to a 4. By 11:00 pm I was dilated to a 6 and got my epidural. The epidural medication was a little too high, so about a half an hour into it I was having a hard time breathing and couldn't feel my chest. So the nurses and doctor came in and I got put on oxygen for a bit. They turned the epidural medication down, and once they did that everything was fine. By 1:00 am I was dilated to a 7 so Dr. Langford broke my water. We took a good nap, and by 5:00 am I was pushing. I pushed for a total of 18 minutes. This girl came out quick and easy! She weighed 7 lbs. 9 oz. and was 19 inches long, born at 5:12 am August 29^th. She is such a good baby. She started nursing right away and has been a strong eater, great sleeper, and so sweet! Gavin just loves her to pieces, he loves touching her hair and toes and he gives her kisses on the head. He is such a sweet boy! More pictures coming soon. Enjoy!
