4 months.

last thursday.  i’m so good at doing this on time :)

avery is changing so much, so quickly.  i know it hasn’t been that long since evan was in this stage, but i forget how quickly the changes come! i’m just not ready for my baby girl to get so big!!

height: 25 inches
weight: 16 lbs 3oz
{according to her doctor, she is the size of the average 7 month old – typical!}

avery is:

• still in size 2 diapers. we received a lot of these as gifts and while i could probably move her to a 3, these are still doing the job so 2’s it is!
• wearing  mainly 9 & 12 month clothes.
• taking 3-5 ounces at 7ish, 10ish, 1ish, 4ish, and 730ish. she usually also takes 4ish ounces between 3 and 5am {although this morning, we heard nothing from her until 520am!!}
• eating solids.  we started her a couple of weeks ago with just rice cereal at night. we then added sweet potatoes at night. this past weekend, we started cereal in the morning with applesauce.  i also had her try oatmeal last night but she really wasn’t a fan! i am making her baby food and so far, it has been super easy!!
• an exceptionally happy baby. she is ticklish around her rib cage and will laugh so hard when you tickle her. she also loves anytime she can see her brother. sweet girl just likes being in the middle of the action!
• now sleeping in her room and doing great! i am totally loving the video monitor!
• amazing at holding her head up and we can now officially carry her on our hip.
• grabbing at her toys and actually playing with them. we have to be careful though because EVERYTHING goes in her mouth!
• holds her head up well during tummy time but gets annoyed that she can’t actually get anywhere.

is so stinkin’ sweet & laid back! i can already see her personality coming through!!

we love you sweet girl & can’t believe you are already getting so big!!!
