4 months

Another month has flown by!!! Here are some things we've noticed about Avery this past month;

• At her 4 month checkup (3/8) she weighed 14.7 oz (67th percentile!) and was 24.8 inches long (61st percentile!) this was a big jump, she was only in the 18th percentile in height at 2 months!!!! Big girl :D
• She drools ALL the time!
• She has started grabbing her toys in her activity gym and pulling on them. She will also grab blankets and pretty much anything she can grasp (including my hair, time for short hair again!)!
• She is in size 2 diapers now! and 3-6 month clothes!
• She has started to notice Target, and watches him if he walks by!
• She has been sleeping through the night!!! I think she had a growth spurt around 15 weeks and by 16 weeks was less cranky throughout the day and started going till 5 or 6am before getting hungry!! YAY!
• She seems to sleep better when daddy is home!
• She rolled over for the first time on March 1 at 6pm, but she has yet to do it again!!!
• She loves to stick out her tongue! i think she is trying to figure out what it is!
• She likes to look in the mirror. she smiles and coos. of course she doesn't know that she is looking at herself yet!
• Avery has developed the startle reflex. If she hears a loud noise or something moves quickly in front of her she will look scared! sometimes even cry! This started at about 15 weeks old!
• Avery laughed for the first time!! On 2/13. Chris' dad was holding her and Chris was laughing with her!
• She had her first full night away from Mommy and Daddy! My parents kept her overnight so I could celebrate Melissa's birthday with her! She did great for Gigi and Grandpa!
• We think she has been having some teething pains! sometimes she will cry out in pain! Chewing on something, toys or fingers, seem to help. (Chris cut his first tooth at 3 months!! ahh!)
• She still has brown hair but it is getting lighter and thinner!
• Along with the bald spot on the back of her head she now how 2 lines (with no hair) that go around her head from the bald spot to her ears! looks like she has a bowl cut!
