Milestones:   She has really good control of turning her head and likes to look back and forth. It sounds simple, but it isn’t natural, its like she is so proud that she can do it. I don’t think she grew much this week she seems around 11 pounds.

Sleeping/ Eating: Avery is my little night owl she now likes to stay up again until 11-12 and sleep until 9 am. I am going to try and start waking her up a little earlier so hopefully she will want to go to bed earlier we will see how it goes. She also only sleeps in her bassinet, she is not a big fan of her crib yet. I am trying to spend more time in her room so she gets more used to it to see if that helps. She is on the same eating half feeding half formula.

Clothing: Her clothes are still 3 month.

Avery’s Favorites:  Bouncer chair with toys still win over everything else. She goes nuts over them now. With each passing day I can tell she is gaining more control on how she bats at the toys and its not just flailing her arms around.

Things I want to remember:  She is starting to enjoy her baths and not scream her head off. At her two month appointment the Dr. said it was important to do more tummy time and so we worked on it this week and she is starting to get her head up pretty far.

What we did this week: 

Avery went to her first house church to meet all her baby friends that she has not clue about yet. Then we met Nana Sue and her friends on their annual Portland shopping trip. Papa Carl watched Avery on Saturday night since we had a Christmas party and they had a blast together. It is rare that we get to see our friends these days without a bunch of kids running around and all we did was talk about our kids. Life sure has changed, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. It was a really cold week so we didn’t get out much since there was a chance of snow and ice. I am still a wimpy Californian at heart.  We took dinner to a friend’s house and Avery got to meet another new baby friend. We met daddy for lunch one day which was fun to get out of the house. Avery and I also went to my book club and she met all the book club friends.
