You have been busy this month! We have been keeping busy enjoying the summer weather as much as possible and you have been enjoying all the new sights and sounds. We've been going to storytime at the library; you coo and bounce through all the songs and listen quietly through the stories. We went to the zoo, and you watched all the animals intently. We went to the cottage for a week, where you played in the sand for the first time, went for your first hot tub, spent time with your grandparents and Aunt Nikki, and went on your first boat excursion to the Umbrella Islands!
Not only have you been a busy girl enjoying your first summer, but you've also been a very busy girl growing! You are now up to 14lbs and are developing quite the little personality. Everyone who meets you says the same thing about you. You are such a happy girl and are sweet like a little doll. You love to be held and played with, you love to snuggle and are happy to go to anyone who will pay attention to you and snuggle you close. You think your sister is the funniest thing you have ever seen, and give her tons of smiles and belly laughs when she plays with you. Addison absolutely adores you, and I am sure you two will have a special relationship as you get older. You have started screaming this month, and it is really cute. You get all excited and scream at the top of your lungs either to get attention or to have a "conversation" with us.
We just got out the jumperoo for you, and I was shocked that your feet already touch the floor in it. You are just starting to outgrow your 3-6 month clothes and are filling out your cloth diapers really well. You are getting better at rolling around, and have discovered your toes recently. You love to catch your toes and try to get them into your mouth. You have a little trouble with that sometimes though, because of your rolly little belly. You absolutely love your bath, and Addie loves that you share a tub now. You have outgrown your baby tub, so we put you in on your bath sling and Addie loves having you in there. You are a really good sleeper. You sleep from 8pm-5am, get up to eat and then go right back to sleep until about 8am. You have a morning nap from 9-11am then an afternoon nap from about 1-3, a catnap around 6 and in between the naps, you just love to play.
Avery, you have added so much to our family. You are so beautiful, and so happy and loving that everyone falls in love with you immediately. I am really enjoying spending my days with you and Addison, and am looking forward to watching you grow more and seeing how your personality develops.
Happy four months sweetheart. I love you!
Love, your mama
