Avalon is already a month old!

Max meets Avalon

I meant to put this on earlier but forgot. It was Max's first time seeing Avalon. Since this, Max hasn't been near as excited to see her but he still calls her the "New Baby."

Udall Update

Our little Avalon will be 3 weeks on Wednesday and she isn't so little anymore. At her doctor appointment last week, she weighed in at 8 POUNDS 3 OUNCES. She gained 2 pounds in 11 days! The doctor gave Mama the "Don't listen to Grandma when she says she is too fat" speech. She is really coming into her own and getting cuter by the day. Another post will have pictures of Little Grandma and Aunt Jewls who came to visit.






Max is still cute even though he is having a rough time. He lets us know how he feels towards the "new baby." When we aren't looking, he has been found hitting her with two hands as hard as he can. He doesn't like that she is still around. When someone is holding her, he gets very jealous. Last week, he threw his favorite stuffed animal "Camel" in the toilet. We are hoping for a quick adjustment... He is speaking in simple sentences and can count to 10 (with Dad's help past seven). He knows hundreds of animals, the "YUCKY BEETLE" being his favorite. He plays hard, sleeps great, and has stinky fat kid feet! He loves nursery, donuts, tootsie rolls, hot dogs, the trampoline, and watching Sesame Street and "Movie Move It!" (Madagascar) with Daddy.











Brig's parents came to visit. While they were here, Brig's father ordained him to a high priest and he was put in the bishopric as 2nd counselor. He is now back to work putting in long hours and in his spare time, he studies for the LSAT. He will be glad when that is over so his wife quits nagging and he gets to spend more time with the kids.



Shayla finally graduated from BYU... We didn't go to the commencement due to Avalon's arrival but she did put on a cap and gown for a picture before leaving Provo in April. This is her fan club, the Moffat family, who took care of Max while she went to class.

What we love about our little Avie...

Her tree-climber feet

Her soft fuzzy head

Her sweet-smelling baby breath

Her little goat noises

Her fun girly outfits

Her cute yawn

Her loud hiccups that make Max giggle

Her pretty peepers

Her tiny bum

A scorpion sting hurts EVEN WORSE...

I have to take back anything remotely mean (I don't say very many really mean things because I do like him a lot)I have ever said about my husband... and I am going to change my attitude. I decided after my first sting just a few weeks ago that I would kill any creature I saw and was still laughing in his face for the killer ants attacking him - I'm not laughing any more. He MUST be on to something. I got stung AGAIN last night and it still HURTS tonight. They are out to get me!

Note: See my previous post called, "A scorpion sting hurts."

For all the insect world to see: "I AM SORRY! MY HUSBAND IS RIGHT!"

Little Avalon

She is now 10 days old and barely waking up. She weighed 6 lbs. 4 ozs. at her check-up this week. Max gets jealous if we don't put her down after a while and still won't call her "Adalon". She is still the "New Baby" and until he does call her by her name, we are scared to leave him by her without being right there.
