Ketchup
I know, I know. I haven't posted in forever and am so behind. Please don't remind me, I get anxiety whenever I think about how many pictures I need to print off and how much scrapbooking I need to do! :) But I think I am all caught up now, keep scrolling down because I probably did about 20 posts today. Once we figure out the new Mac it will (hopefully) be easy to organize our pictures and I promise I will post more frequently!
Our lives have been completely taken over by this cute little girl and we wouldn't have it any other way. The last 4 months have definitely been some of the best in our lives and she's easily the best thing that we've ever done.
Our Other Babies
A lot of people have asked how our dogs are doing with Avery. To be honest, I don't most of them care about her all that much, unless she's particularly smelly. :) However, Harley is determined to be Avery's best friend. Wherever Avery is, Harley is. It is really cute. So they don't feel left out, here's a picture of each of them.
Mini-Me
A lot of people say that Avery looks like me but when I found this picture of Michael at about 3 months I think there's no contest, she looks a lot like him! Let's just hope she grows out of it. ha!
Four Months
Four Month Stats-Still size one diapers
-Still an awesome sleeper!
-Loves, loves, loves to smile, she really is the happiest girl
-Wearing 0-3 and 3 months clothes
-Tries to sit up by pulling her head forward
-She is a hot, sweaty baby! She is like a little furnace which will come in handy this winter but not when it's already 90 degrees out!
-Hair is starting to grow in
-Likes to watch the dogs, other kids, cars on the road, etc.
-14lbs, 2.5oz and 25 inches long! She is in the 75% for height and 50% for weight
This has been a really fun stage, we can make her laugh and she's much more aware of what's going on around her. She is grabbing and starting to chew on toys but still loves to chew on her hands most of all. She is also Drooly Julie! She drools all the time, I am hoping teeth are still a LONG way off!
Sweet Cheeks
I found the coolest app ever for my iphone, it's called Instagram and it makes the most 'usual' pictures look so cool. I use this for almost every photo I take, I'm addicted to it!
Heads up
It had been awhile since Avery had done tummy time, bad, I know. So one day after work I laid a blanket out and put her on her tummy and she held her head up perfectly for a long time. How cute is she?!Nice Hair
Michael took a shower one morning and shaved his head. A little later he was rubbing his head and said "Did I miss a spot?" and turned his head so I could look. I immediately busted up laughing and laughed for about 10 minutes. Then I regretted laughing because I should have just said "Nope, looks good" and let him walk around like this for awhile. Haha!
Three Months
Avery's Three Month Stats:-Loves to wiggle!
-Following objects more with eyes
-Loves to talk to her daddy, she will chat with him for a long time.
-Almost laughing
-Very happy girl in the morning
-Still sleeping all night
-Loves to stand up and look around
-Wears 0-3 and 3 month clothes
-Starting to grab at things
-Goes from fine and happy to starving and screaming in two seconds, but is fine once theres food for her
-Size one diapers
-She didn't have a well baby check up but she weighed 12lbs on our homescale and measured 23 inches.
And on 9-9-11 she rolled over for the first time! She is rolling from back to front like crazy but has yet to roll from front to back. We'll go in after putting her in her crib for the night and find her face down, it still freaks dad out a little. :)
Hiking Adventure
Avery went on her first hiking trip! And believe it or not she slept pretty much the whole time. My friend Doug was in town with his wife Wendy and some other friends for a wedding so we made plans to go on a short hike Saturday morning. We found a 2.5 mile loop up near Mt. Bachelor at Sparks Lake. It was a really pretty hike and perfect weather. I forget that all that stuff is so close, I think next year we'll go hiking a lot more!
Water Baby
It has been a warm summer! We have taken Avery swimming a few times at the hotel pool but I thought it would be fun to have a small pool at home for her. Well, we ended up getting a bigger pool that is about 12 feet across and about 3 feet deep. Perfect for lounging in on those hot days! It was pretty cold at first so Avery would just hang out on her floatie but we ended up finding a solar cover for it and that really helped warm up the water. We're going to have lots of fun summers splashing around!
