Milestones:  She is 12.5 pounds and getting so strong! I think she is longer too, but haven’t measured her.

Sleeping/ Eating: She has been going to bed closer to 12 am again and wanting to wake up at 8 am. I think she is going through a growth spurt, because she is much hungrier than she has been the last few weeks. Same eating half feeding and half formula.

Clothing: Most of her three month clothes are getting too small. I washed all her 3-6 and 6 month jammies. Girlfriend has some big feet and they fill up the 6 month jammie feet and the rest of them are still too big.

Avery’s Favorites:  She has discovered her tongue and blowing spit bubbles. I don’t know if it is too early to start teething, but she is obsessed with everything about her mouth. She got some new books for Christmas that she loves and a little dolly from her grammy that settles her down. Avery is a busy girl these days and needs a lot of play time and reading time.

Things I want to remember:  Sticking her tongue out at us was too cute and funny. Tyler and I were just laughing and could not get enough pictures of her. Moments like these are so special to experience together and I know there will be many more developmental stages that will be much more exciting, but for now this one was the best.

What we did this week: 

We got together with Friends who live in a different stat and Avery got to meet another baby friend that had the same due date that she had. It was so interesting to see the differences in them. Avery is lucky to be born at the same time as a lot of little girl babies. It was so magical to have Avery’s first Christmas Eve and Christmas. We dressed her up in a cute Christmas dress and she got some adorable presents from family. She obviously had no idea it was different than any other day, but it was special to share this holiday with her. We went to an 8 pm church service downtown where we had to park in a structure, walk a ways, and wait outside to get in. Then she had to have a bottle right when we got there and then needed a diaper change badly. It was all worth it to see her look around the service and listen to the Christmas music and look at the lights on the screen. Each year as she begins to understand the meaning of Christmas it is going to be more special to our family. Christmas Day we had Tyler’s family over for a brunch then hung out together and went on a family walk. At the end of the week my parents and sister came to visit sweet Avery. Sharing Avery with friends and family is such a joy.
