4 Months Old!

Dear Avery,

I am sorry as I am one day late in writing to you.  You turned 4 months old yesterday!  You are getting to be such a big girl and you are doing new things everyday.  Mommy and Daddy are so proud of you!  Could you please just SLOW down a little bit...a tiny little bit?  I just don't want to miss anything. 

Things you are doing at 4 months:

~rolling over...just onto your left side but you can also get back to your back

~sucking your thumb like CRAZY...you don't really like your bink anymore

~eating between 5-6 times a day

~taking 4-6 ounces by bottle when mommy is gone

~sleeping through the night...YAY! (10 hours usually...wake up to eat and then back to sleep again for another 2 hours)

~had a check-up with shots...all is well!

~weigh 13 lbs 11 ounces and are 25 inches long (2 lbs LESS and 1 inch SMALLER than your sister was at this age)

~laughing out loud more and more

~we still forget you are here sometimes because you are still such a laid back good little baby girl (thank you for this :))

~take a little bit longer nap

~went to another wedding

~like to play with your big sister and your cousins

~visited Great Grandpa Ray

~your big sister sat on your face this month and you didn't even cry...I tell her that when you get big you are going to pay her back for all of the things she does to you!

Avery Grace you continue to light up our lives.  We love you so much baby girl.  We continue to look forward to the joys that you will bring to us.

Love,
Mommy
