Prayers, Pain and Papa!!!

As many of you know, my Dad(Papa) is having double bypass surgery tomorrow. He has had trouble for some time now and after having 3 stents the Dr.'s decided that he needed double bypass surgery. It's hard to watch as a man who all of his life has had this rough and tough exterior hurt from the pain within. My dad is a hard working, do it yourself if you want it done right kind of person who always made sure that we had what we wanted. It's so hard to see the man who is afraid of nothing be scared and in pain. So all I know to do is give it to God and ask that he keep him on this earth so Avery can see all the great things I have seen in him. We love you Papa....

Ok,so I know it's been almost a month since I've updated but the good thing is I have lots to update about. So let's see........we had Avery's one year doctor checkup and she is a whopping 21.3lb healthy little girl. Believe it or not she is in the higher percentile in height so I'm praying she takes after Chad and not her Mommy. She now will repeat No back to you when you tell her No....she thinks it's funny not so much for me and Chad when your trying to get a point across. She loves to do patty cake and tries to sing along, waves Bye Bye to everyone as we leave daycare every day and now cries everyday when you leave her. She was sick this past week and I can say I have officially been thrown up on. Yucky, I know but she was surprisingly calm about it now me on the other hand would like to have freaked out but after seeing her I decided I better say calm as well. She's much better now and we decided to have a little Halloween fun last night. So here is a recap of last night..........

My little Ladybug!!! Last year she was a Banana so we went with a insect this year!

Suppose to be eating dinner but GiGi wanted to play with her Halloween gifts!!

Giving Aunt Angela kisses for her present. She loves her!!!

Happy Halloween from the Alexander's!!!!!

So I promise not to wait so long for my next post. Avery is having her pictures made this Wednesday so I'm sure I'll have a interesting post about that trip. Oh, and we bought a potty today!! I know your probably thinking your crazy she's only 13 months old but I've been told by her daycare teacher and Aunt Angela that they think she's ready...You'll have to wait for a post on the potty story later. Wish us luck!!!
