Avery is 3 months old!

She's still my little girl! She weighed 12lbs 8oz yesterday which is just barely over 50th percentile. She is now 23 1/2 inches long, which again is just over 50th percentile. WOW! The time is flying! She eats great and sleeps great! Her first night that I'm saying she slept through the night was the Friday we were at the beach. At 10 wks and 2 days she fell asleep about 7:30 or 8 and got up at 7:30 the next morning. She has been doing great ever since which in turn means I have been doing great also!:) I really need my sleep! I usually rock her for just 2 or 3 minutes and then lay her down still awake and she puts herself to sleep. She is sleeping in her bed during the day now and taking 3 naps a day or sometimes just two with a very early bedtime. Hallelujah! She loves to lay on her changing table and look at her fan. It always puts a smile on her face and she just starts cooing! She is definitely going be a big talker if all the sounds she makes now are any indication. Yesterday at the Dr's she just smiled at him and talked to him while he was checking her out. I have a feeling she and Alex will be fighting for "talk time" one day soon:) He will check on her every once in a while and see what she is doing but he doesn't have a whole lot to do with her right now. Sometimes when I'm feeding her he will say, "Momma, put her down." I told him when she first came home that when she is tired and I go to put her down that he needs to be quiet because if she is sleeping then we can play-so he is all about her naps. She is so easy going now(which is not how it started off) and I'm so thankful for this sweet baby girl! I had her 3 month pictures made today. They turned out really good! I'll see if I can scan some in later.




At the Doctor yesterday.

We were in Nashville for Labor Day and this is the only picture I got! Avery is craning her neck to watch television:) She loves it!

  1. I love the new pictures. She is so pretty! I understand the tears when Alex went to TX. I didn't want to leave Nate for 3 1/2 days when we went on our anniversary trip. Yes, Nate still loves Super Why. He has a couple of other new favorites now also - Sid the Science Kid and Dinosaur Train. I am glad you are finally getting some rest. I can only imagine how hard it is to not get adequate sleep and have a toddler to keep up with.
