Spending time with Avery

On Sunday evening our family went to Jessica and Chris' house for Sunday dinner. We felt kind of guilty because Chris made the whole meal, we should have been feeding them! After dinner, the rest of the family went home, and Conner and I stayed. It was my turn to help out mommy and baby. Conner ended up being such a great help! He said it was the best thing ever, playing Wii, eating lots of food, and playing with his new niece.
 It was nice having him around when I was trying to do other things around the house. She would fall asleep as soon as she was placed in his arms. I think it was the way he tickled her nose.
 I had such a blast, just spending time with them for a few days. Avery is such a sweet baby. When she's asleep she grins all the time. When she is awake she is so mellow, she just looks around with her big bright eyes. I couldn't get enough pictures. Chris and Jessica are such great parents, they absolutely love her to death, and are so thoughtful of each other as well. It was a joy to be around them.
