Hoerter Family: 7 Weeks

October 7, 2012 - This past week we went to Madison with Justin while he was there taking a class for work at the Fluno Center. Averie and I walked around on State Street and near the Capitol every day. It was a lot of fun. She was a great traveler and did great being away from her home.

One day while we were playing around in the hotel room, I was able to capture a great photo of her smiling. She has been smiling a lot more lately and following and imitating the faces that Justin and I make towards her.

Averie - 6 Weeks - Big Smiles

Averie is still doing really well. She wakes up once between 1 and 2 am and then once again early in the morning between 5 and 6 am. She is still eating great. She weighed in at 10 lbs 11 oz on this past Thursday. She is just so much fun. We have taken her out to eat a few times as well and she is just so good. Her neck is continuing to get really strong. She can hold her head up very well.

Justin and I are both doing great as well...if anyone cares! :-) I got the go ahead from my doctor that I can start running again and doing more strenuous activity, so Justin and I are going to start going to the Y again this coming week. I got five more weeks off of work and want to get back into somewhat of a workout routine. I miss running...:-( I am excited to start working out again.

Milo is doing well too. He spent four days at Grandma and Grandpa's house while we were in Madison. My mom just had surgery again, so I think they both enjoyed each other while my mom was laid up.

That is all for now.

Yes Grandma did enjoy Milo's company. He has become so gentle, and loving. He followed me everywhere and was so concerned. And once a day he had to get crazy and show off. We laughed so hard at him we cried. He sure made those NOT GOOD days after surgery GREAT! And he is such a great dog cos he has such great parents
