catching up :)

we had a fantastic weekend down in boston again. didn't get as much done as we had planned, but there were other things more important :) zane went to phil's bachelor party, i got together with carrie and meg (sans baby, it was a nice treat :)), saw auntie barbara and dick, met a few more neighbors, went to a memorial day parade in town, bought paint, painted two rooms (with phil's help, THANK YOU!), put together a little night table and dresser/changer for avery's room and went to linda's house for an impromtu bbq.

avery's room is almost completely set up. i think all we're missing is the rocking chair and her clothes :) we tried her in her crib for the first time and she loved it! (the first picture in this post is from her first nap--not the best quality, i had the flash off)

some shots from the parade...avery loved the flag and wanted to eat it, loved the marching band in the parade and loved riding in grammy's stroller :)

i think i caught her mid "wave"...when we say hi to her she flaps her right hand up and down, slapping it on her leg. but...she also does this when she's excited, so i don't think it counts as a real wave yet :)

while we painted, avery played in an empty banana box. a bunch of her toys were inside, all within reach. it was a perfect play pen!

i took more pictures of some stuff we did yesterday, will post more later :) hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and is enjoying the short work week.
