She Smiles!

I've been trying to get a good pic of Abby smiling since she started smiling (about five weeks now) and finally Super Daddy got a few good ones. :)

My Daughter's a Greaseball!!!

Avery was having a hard time going to sleep the other night. She got out of bed multiple times and had a hard time getting settled. Finally, Marshall and I thought she had fallen asleep. Well, we couldn't have been more wrong! When I went in to check on her before I went to bed I got a big surprise. Someone (I won't say who, but it wasn't me :)) had left the Vaseline we put on her cheeks before she goes to bed within Avery's reach on the dresser. I bet you can all guess what happened next. Avery was sound asleep in bed, but there was Vaseline EVERYWHERE! On the carpet, on the door, on the door knob, on her bed, on the dresser, and on the closet. I started cleaning and then Marshall came in. He discovered that it wasn't just things that had goop on them. Avery had imitated what she sees me do every day when I am doing my hair and put TONS of Vaseline in her hair. I had noticed her hair seemed wet, but I thought it was because she had gotten sweaty from having her blankets covering her head. It literally looked like she had just gotten out of the bath. Below are some pictures from the next morning, but they don't quite capture just how bad it was. We washed her hair 4 different times and it still looked gross. But the next day it looked much better-I think it just absorbed into her hair. Needless to say, the Vaseline is no longer kept in her room!
