Big Girl Room, Amy's 30th, and Easter Egg Hunt

We just moved Avery into her big girl room.  I'm so proud of her.  She just had trouble napping in her new bed for about 4 days, but now she's great.  The first night she was in the room, she slept all night.  This change went a lot better than the potty training.  Thank goodness!
We had a surprise/ semi-surprise party for Amy at a fun sushi grill.  She has some great friends that we were to able to meet.  It was a good crowd- we had about 20 people.  It was just a little interesting seating everyone in a large banquet.  Needless to say, the pregnant hot flash one sat on the outside.  Happy Birthday to our sweet Amy!!
Tim and I took Avery to Ma's church for an easter egg hunt.  We met Ma, Sutton, and Nancy there and we had a great time.  It was raining so they moved it inside, but there were tons of arts and crafts.  Oh, and we ran into our friend's little boy William and his grandma.  It was a nice surprise.  Too bad Momma Elizabeth was working.  Can't wait to catch up with y'all soon.
I'm still working on the little man's room, but will hopefully have some pictures up soon.  I'm in the midst of washing baby gear and trying to figure out wear to put everything.  I forgot how much room swings, jumperoos, pack n plays, and play mats take up.  As long as we can walk through our living room, I guess I've done a good job ;).  Hope everyone has a great week!

This is the closest Avery would get to the Easter Bunny.  I think she still has a Santa complex, so we weren't expecting much

The cushion will go on top of a toy chest that we are still waiting to arrive. 

With the bed rails and no box springs.  She hasn't figured out how to get out...yet.

Dad's Birthday, Strawberries, and the Baby Shower

We've had a crazy month! I will be breaking this month up into 2 posts.  We had a ton going on but we're doing great.  Avery is really starting to become a young lady and my belly is a planet now.  Lot's of changes :) 
We celebrated Dad's birthday after they got back from their trip to New Orleans.  They said the food was out of this world and that the musical atmosphere was amazing. Tim and I are living vicariously through our friends and family's trips (little ones tend to be harder to travel with surprisingly enough ;) ). Anyway, we took Dad out for a nice relaxing dinner at one of his favorite restaurants.
Avery and I joined our friends Emily and Peyton to pick strawberries.  I had never been before, so it was really fun for me too.  Of course, I had to dress up the girl in a strawberry themed dress.  It was precious. And we have enough strawberries to last us a loooong while.  Avery didn't know when to stop filling the basket.
My wonderful friends gave me a baby shower for the little man.  We had a wonderful time and now the boy won't have to wear pink clothes!  Thanks to my girls and everyone that came.  It made me feel so special.  

Avery is kinda of obsessed with sunglasses right now

 Our cousins Jessica and James stopped by for a short visit.  We are due with our babies a couple weeks apart  (again!!)
It took a while to get them to stop staring at each other.
