The weeks are flying by and our tiny, little peanut is stretching and filling out. She seems to be getting so long and is close to moving out of her newborn sleepers. I'm quickly remembering now how fast they grow and move right out of the newborn stage.
This past week, we have definitely noticed that Avery has more and longer periods of wakefulness. She is also becoming much more vocal and lets us know when she isn't happy with something. For the time being, she tolerates her carseat and traveling much more than big sister did when she was a baby. We are thankful for this as we've had to cart Avery with us many places throughout the past few weeks.
Sleep wise, Avery seems to be a little mixed up with her days and nights. We definitely aren't into any kind of schedule, but she seems to have more of her deep sleeps during the day. We're hoping to adjust this soon as the nights have felt very long here lately. We've been tolerating the lack of sleep pretty well up until the past few days, but I'm sure that has more do with being exhausted from packing/moving. Avery prefers to be held, but hangs out in her swing/bobby pillow pretty well.
Avery is still nursing great and tends to eat anywhere from every 2.5 - 4 hours. She is a little more gassy than big sis was and tends to spit up more often. She also is a little irritated until she gets a burp out. We plan to talk to the doctor about this at her next appointment.
Big sister, Kensley, is still loving Avery, but the newness has seemed to wear off a little. She still demands to "kiss her" and "hold her" but doesn't need to be next to her all the time (anymore). Kens seems to be adjusting ok and the only major thing we've noticed is a slight change in her sleep habits (again could be contributed to extra stress and our recent move). She's been waking up a few times throughout the night and during her nap, but usually goes right back to sleep. We're hoping once she gets adjusted to our new living conditions, she might settle back into her old sleeping patterns as I'm afraid she's not as well rested as she could be.
I had planned to leave you with a few pictures of our sweet 3 week old, but I am embarrassed to say no pictures were taken this past week. I will blame it on packing and the move and promise to post lots of pictures next week. To make up for no pictures, click here to see Avery's newborn photos (password: averyroberts). Once we get the CD, I will post our favorites.
We love you, sweet Avery!
Please remember this when you read this someday and realize there are no pictures from your third week of life.
