Milestones:  She had her two month appointment this week and weighed 10 pounds 12 ounces 50th percentile and was 23 3/4 inches long 75th percentile. The Dr. said  she was on the same growth pattern that she has been on since birth so she is doing well and everything is progressing as normal.

Sleeping/ Eating: Avery has kept her pattern of going to bed at 10-11pm and sleeping until 7 or 8 am in the morning. She is such a good little sleeper! She is on the same eating half feeding half formula.

Clothing: Her feet keep outgrowing her footie pajamas. The three month ones fit her body, but her feet are already curled up in them. I guess I will have to go bigger soon or invent a footie pajama extender for her big ski feet, they are just so long and skinny. For regular clothes the three month clothes are fitting now.

Avery’s Favorites: She still loves her bouncer chair to explore the world around her. I got her this rattle ball and she is holding on to it and moving it around and kicks it.  She also likes these little rings that I put with her toys on the bouncer chair. I figured out how to use the Ergo carrier and she likes that when I need to do a few things around the house and she wants to be near me.

Things I want to remember:  Avery laughed for the first time. Nana Sue and auntie Megan were talking about where we should have Christmas this year and Megan said she would have it at her house, but she didn’t want to cook a turkey because she didn’t want to clean out the turkey butt. Avery smiled so big when Megan said turkey butt. Then we were telling auntie Molly about how Avery thought turkey butt was so funny and she full on laughed when we said turkey butt. Sue and I both saw it so I know it was a laugh. She now does a cute little laugh here and there and it makes my heart melt, plus turkey butt still gets her to smile.

What we did this week: 

Auntie Molly had two showers for baby girl Kidd and we were able to go and celebrate with her. I am so excited for her to experience all the joys that  her little baby girl will bring. At the shower Avery and cousin Silas took a short nap together. It is so fun that they are so close in age to watch them develop.  I made it back to my first gym class and Tyler watched Avery, she was fussy the whole time I was gone, I think she is starting to notice when I am gone. It felt so good to be back to pushing myself a bit after just walking throughout the last part of pregnancy. We also made it out on a few walk/runs with the BOB this week which the Dr. said is good for her for vitamin D and me for exercise. Since it was so cold this week we had planned to meet up with my friend Jess for a walk outside, but we decided to meet at the mall since it was below 30 degrees. Meeting at the mall at 10 am for a walk was the ultimate mom excursion, but we got to catch up and keep the girls happy and get some exercise. We did see some other ladies in full on work out gear going much faster then us so we might have to pick up the pace next time. It was a week full of appointments we both had doctor’s appointments mine went well, but my lungs are still a little abnormal from the pneumonia and they want me to be careful and hers was all normal. We took it easy the last part of the week since she had shots and I wanted to be home in case she had any reactions. Friday was Tyler’s work Christmas party and auntie Megan and uncle Jason watched Avery. She was a little bit of a handful for them. Oh Avery!
