First Taste of Cereal

Avery had her first taste of cereal on Sunday Nov. 29th. She took a few spoonfuls but wasn't too sure about it. Since then we've tried a little everyday and she has the spoon part down but still isn't crazy about the cereal. We'll see how she likes some carrots and sweet potatoes next week.

Avery's sleep schedule was a little off but she did great on both car rides...slept for 8 out of the 11 hours. We had a great Thanksgiving and can't wait to go back and see everyone at Christmas.

4 Months - November 16th

It is hard to believe that our darling girl is 4 months old already! Avery continues to be a very happy, jovial baby. She now laughs with a big belly laugh and tries to ham it up for anyone who might be looking at her. Avery loves to bounce in her doorway jumper and is building up some pretty strong leg muscles. At her 4 month appt. she weighed 15.5 lbs (90th percentile) and is 24 inches long (45th percentile). Now I know why she loves it when I sing, "I'm a little teapot, short and stout"...it truly is her song. :-) I still love doing her laundry and working around her bedroom but it makes me sad that with every load of laundry I'm sorting out things to go into the "too small" bag.
