sitting up

Here is a quick video I captured of Avery sitting up by herself. She can only do it for a few seconds but she is getting closer to being able to do it all on her own!! She does faceplant at the end, not hard enough to really hurt her, I think it mostly startled her!

UGH! hate my baby voice :(

5 months old

here's what we've noticed about Avery this past month;

*I think she weighs about 16 lbs, but thats just on our bathroom scale! She doesn't go for a full doctor visit this month just for a shot! *She discovered her hands and likes to chew on her fingers (most of the time just her index finger), she doesn't seem interested in her thumb at all yet! She is also getting better each day using her hands! its fascinating to watch! *Her little giggle is very cute, seems to always been accompanied with a little cough at the end, guess she just gets too excited! *She officially can't wear size 3 month clothes anymore, a few 3-6mo still fit but mostly she wears 6 month clothes! *She is able to sit upright by herself for a few seconds, this started when she was about 19 weeks old. *She rolled over again on 3/19 (for Gigi and Grandpa) but chris and I missed it and she still has yet to really figure it out! *She grabbed her toes on 3/20 while I was changing her diaper! She's been working to get to her toes for awhile now! *Avery has started cooing and ooing alot!! She loves to "talk"! *Avery started waking up at 3am to "talk" to herself! Fortunately this only lasted a few nights! It was very cute tho! *This past week Avery has been sleeping through the night!!! from her bedtime at 7:30pm till 8am! occasionally she wakes up because she lost the paci but this happens much less than it used to! *She has also dropped her 4th nap, so she is now awake from 5-7:30pm and joins us for dinner! *She is back to sleeping in her crib in her own room!!! *I have been more hesitant to pack away her 3 month clothes, more so than even her newborn clothes. 6 month clothes just seem so big to me and I don't want her to grow up so FAST!!! *She has just started sucking on her lower lip, seems like a baby thing, her little friend Ella also does that!

HAPPY 5 MONTH BIRTHDAY BABY GIRL!

ready for summer

Yesterday we went shopping in Southlake. My mom, dad and sister were here visiting! I was very excited about the warm weather and got to dress Avery up in one of her new summer outfits! Here are a few pics of her strawberry outfit...

She has been trying to grab her toes for awhile and finally got ahold of them this morning!!

She was quite a trooper while we were shopping!

Laughing with Gigi!
