Avery Kate the Chunkey MOnKey

Ok so an update on Miss AK...
Can you believe this is the same baby from all those NICU pictures? Look at those cheeks!


Lots and lots of changes. Miss Avery is quite the energetic little girl and she can eat and sleep with the best of them. She typically goes to bed around 7/8 and wakes up around 6. Then she has her cereal mixed with a little fruit and followed up with some formula and talk about a happy camper! She is the best early in the morning. When we go to get her from her crib she usually greets us with a big smile and maybe some jibber jabber. She is usually in a good mood in the mornings.


She loves to play and absolutely loves her jumperoo! Right now, in typical baby fashion, she is putting absolutely anything she can get her hands on in her mouth. And she wants her hands on everything. She is constantly trying to reach for things. She is completely facinated with Kacey! If Avery is pitching a fit all you have to do is call Kacey over and it stops immediately. It is pretty funny. Avery is contstantly reaching for her and jibber jabbing at her. Kacey is a pretty good sport about it all. They are actually quite cute together.



Avery is not liking tummy time. She does roll over, but she is usually irritated. Every now and then she will actually tollerate tummy time, but usually it doesn't last for too long. She knows she needs to use her legs to move but hasn't quite grasped that she needs to use her arms too. If she is laying on her back she will often push herself off her play mat. She is at the point where she wants to be independently mobile but can't figure out how to make it happen and it irritates her. I am scared of the mobile Avery Kate. We are going to be chasing that girl everywhere! She is in perpetual motion.


Avery is up to about 14 lbs now and is over 23 inches long. She is our chunky monkey! Look at her on the scale! Big difference from some of her older scale pictures!



As soon as I think she just couldn't get any cuter or better tomorrow comes and she is!
