Avery - 3 months!

Sweet Avery is three months old! Here's a little more about baby sister this month:

* Holds her head up for longer periods of time. 

* Loves to be tickled under her neck. She gives big giggles for her sister too - without tickles!

* Loves to take baths! She tries really hard to sit up and move her feet towards the water. 

* Really interested in her hands and feet and how they work. 

* Rolls side to side!

Tap/Ballet

Emily has started the next level of ballet - tap/ballet! She sure does love those tap shoes! Here she is showing off her moves before her first day:

Final t-ball game!

Emily had a great final game of fall ball! Here she is with her coach (and trophy!)

Pumpkin Patch

We had a blast at the pumpkin patch with the Coffeen family. Emily and Katie enjoyed the farm while Avery and Caroline slept. A great day for everyone!

Avery - two months!

Our sweet Avery girl is two months old! We are really enjoying this sweet baby girl   She rarely fusses unless she needs to eat. Here are some more fun Avery facts for month two:

* Avery's sleep schedule is still all over the place. She sleeps mostly during the day and stays awake for most of the night. We can't wait to get that turned around...but mommy is napping when her girl naps in the morning while big sister is at school. 

* She still won't take a pacifier despite all our efforts and different types of pacifiers. She has stopped trying to suck her thumb, so we have hopefully avoided that!

* She loves to look at the monkey mirror in Mommy's care and smile, laugh, and "talk' to it. Emily loved to do the same thing when she was that age - so sweet!

* She had a great two month check-up with the pediatrician. She weighs 11 pounds 8 ounces (50%) and is 23 1/4 inches tall (80%). We have a tall girl! 

Apple Picking Jubilee

We spent the day picking apples and enjoying the farm at Hillcrest Orchards. My favorite part is the cold apple cider and apple cider doughnuts. Yum! We had a blast!

Avery is one month old!

Our sweet baby girl is one month old! She loves to smile at us and enjoys looking at the animals on her mobile. She hasn't quite gotten the hang of sleeping at night, but she loves to nap all day, and also enjoys taking a bath. When she's eating, she likes to run her fingers through her hair - it's so adorable!

Avery has been out and about all month. She tags along to pick up big sis at school and to watch big sis play t-ball. She really is just going with the flow!
