Bye, bye hippo mat
I packed away the girls’ hippo mat yesterday – now that Avery is crawling, she doesn’t have much interest in lying around. I wasn’t feeling that emotional about it, until I found our very first picture (below) of Avery on the mat. She was only five days old – and so small! – and I’m amazed at how fast she has grown… (And on a funny non-hippo-related note, when I first saw this picture, I was convinced it was Zoe – and I had to look at the date to confirm that it wasn’t. I couldn’t see the resemblance between Zoe and Avery as newborns before, but I sure can now!)
