Milestones:  We we went to the doctors to make sure she didn’t have an ear infection so she weighs 14 pounds 2 oz. We have our four month appointment next week.

Sleeping/ Eating: The last two weeks have been rough on the sleeping front. She was teething pretty bad last week and then came down with a cold this week. Poor girl just keeps waking up with a stuffy nose and can’t go back to sleep. How quickly I had forgotten about those sleepless nights of the first few weeks. Some people might be able to handle them better, but you can ask Tyler, this mom needs her sleep. Since her teething was bothering her so much she consistently was refusing to nurse. I was planning on stopping when I went back to work anyway, since my supply was so low, but it was hard for me to stop. I also feel bad that she got a cold right after we stopped. I wish things would have worked better with that whole thing, but it was out of my control with the pnemonia.

Clothing: I spent a good chunk of last saturday putting away clothing that doesn’t fit her anymore and washing 3-6 month clothes. Some of those 6 month footie pajamas are already getting small! This little lady is growing so fast! I think she is still really long for her age and I will be curious to see what percentile she falls into at her four month appointment.

Avery’s Favorites:  She is in love with her feet. Whenever she is getting a diaper change she will just grab at her feet and do these baby yoga poses. She is also trying to crunch up he whole body. I think she is working on her core so she can sit-up. She loves this little crinkle book that had a cookie teether on it.  She still likes her play mat, but is growing out of her bouncer chair. At the end of the week we got her a jumperoo. At first she didn’t know what to think of it, and then she decided it was really fun to jump and play.

Things I want to remember: 

She is starting to laugh more. I swear she saves up all her laughs for when her daddy comes home from work. I will be finishing up dinner and I just hear these tiny giggles coming from the other room.  Her cold and teething have been hard, it is so sad when your baby just looks at you and with their little eyes saying mom what’s wrong? I have been doing a lot of cuddling and holding her in hopes that it will make her feel better.

What we did this week: 

The last two weeks have been rough. Avery is not feeling her best and sleep hasn’t been consistent. I have been sticking around the house and doing normal everyday things like going to the store.  I will be headed back to work in a few weeks and am mentally preparing for that. Life will be very different and much busier so I am soaking in this time with her where we can just have our own  little routine together at home.
