She was born on the Fourth of July, weighing in at 7 lbs. 3 oz. and measuring 20 inches long.
Labor and delivery went well and quick, a full four hours from start to finish! I wish recovery would go as well, but we'll take it anyway.
Our little firecracker has brown hair and is such a good baby so far! She sleeps a ton and eats really well. Sophie wasn't so sure what to think of her crying, but she sure loved to look at her new baby sister. (We hope this picture isn't a foreshadowing of their future relationship!)
Our hospital visitors before they headed off to watch fireworks. Grandma Lamb is loving being here with her THREE (almost 4) grandbabies!
Joseph agreed to name her Avery Jane as long as he could call her AJ. That's totally fine with me, so here's the proud dad with his little AJ.

Yeah! I am so excited for you guys! I am so glad that things went so smoothely. I love the name. It is actually one on my list but I can't get Paul to agree on any of the names I like. What a great 4th of July for you guys!
congratulations on another beautiful and healthy baby. love the name, love the nickname, love everything. you are a fast little birther! how was having a baby in CA??? : )
Congratulations! Avery is darling! It's also a name on my list! How funny! Good luck!
AJ is beautiful! Congratulations!!
Adelaide was the same with Joshua's crying at the beginning. Pretty soon we'd have both kids crying. She got used to it pretty quick and now just tries to shove a binky down his throat if he makes a peep. :)
Good luck with recovery and adjusting to life with two kids!
Congratulations!!! She's adorable and I love the name! Also love the look on Sophie's face in that first picture--classic! :) Hope you recover quickly.
Congratulations! We're so happy she's here! Sophie will love having a little sister. And we're glad Joseph agreed to the name you wanted. I love the name Avery. So cute!!! Sure miss you guys. Good luck recovering.

Soooo exciting. And my niece, Brooke, was born on July 3rd so they can be just a day a part... and when they grow up they will go to BYU and live in the new and improved S-hall at DT and be friends just like us!!
AHhhhhhhh..... welcome to the world Avery! (I love that name b/c I love James Avery jewelry: http://secure.jamesavery.com/index.jsp
Congrats again and hugs to all :-) I hope your recovery goes well.
COngrats, she is beautiful. I love the 4th of July and wish that I could have a 4th baby, but I think this is the last, so that won't likely happen. Funny side note...my sister-in-law that reminds me of you had a baby on June 30th and named her Addison Jean and they plan on calling her AJ...weird, huh?
Congratulations! Avery is a doll! I'm glad delivery went so well. Hope the recovery is speedy and that Sophie adjust to her new little sister well.
I love her festive hat! Congratulations. Glad to hear that the labor wasn't too bad and good luck on the recovery. I wish there was more we could all to from so far away. (I love the new blog title too by the way!)
Congrats! We are so happy for you! Love the birthday! She is so adorable! If I have another boy, I'll trade ya!;) I absolutely love love love that picture of both your girls screaming while you were holding them...just think of the future teen years...ahhhh...special.:) Get some rest and enjoy her!

She is beautiful!! Congratulations. Avery Jane is such a cute name. Good luck with everything. Perhaps one day I will need you to give me some tips on "how to deal with two little ones"! :)
Your two little girls are so adorable! Sophie's hair is beautiful - I always think it's funny when the older sibling starts to cry because the baby is crying. :) It's sweet in a way. And I'm happy that the insurance worked out for you too! What a stressful thing that probably was. Anyway, congrats! You guys look great and so happy too!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Avery is just adorable!! And I like AJ, too !!! Enjoy this time :)
Congratulations!! Avery is darling - I'm so glad it all went well. Good luck with the recovery - I wish it would be over in 4 hours for you, as well! I am also totally jealous that you've had your baby and that I'm still pregnant...! Send those labor vibes my way - we're just sitting around waitin'!!
Congrats again!!
Lisa, Bryce and Sophie
Such beautiful girls!! Welcome Avery! Best, most wonderful wishes Becky and Joseph!
So it's been awhile since I've seen your blog and you already have a 2 week old baby! It's so fun to see all the cute pictures of Sophie and Avery together. Hope you are starting to feel better. Delivery sounds like it went really fast. What a blessing.
