Avery: 3 Months Old

Sweet, little Avery Leigh is 3 months old (plus a few days due to the delay in posting).  She is such a sweet, happy girl and gives us tons of smiles and coos daily.  Grammy Roberts even got her to laugh for the first time...fortunately we were all there to hear it. 

Aves has had a big month as she is now sleeping in her crib in her own room!  Her first night in her crib was September 1st.  She seems to be enjoying it; unfortunately it hasn't really lead to longer sleep times for her.  We are currently in sleep training mode as Mama goes back to work next week...hoping to wean Avery of her middle of the night feeding soon. She is still going to bed by 7 or 7:30 and usually starts fussing/moving around between 2 - 3 am.  We've been going in to put her paci back in her mouth (we are looking forward to the time when she can do this herself!) to get her to go back to sleep.  We usually have to do this once or twice a night and then I feed her anytime between 4-5 am.  She then typically wakes up for the day 3 - 3.5 hours later and eats again.  And yes, we realize we are fortunate for her to sleep a 7 - 8 hour stretch each night already.  We're just hoping to increase that long stretch!

Avery is showing more and more interest in her sister as she lights up when she hears her voice and gets kisses and hugs from her.  It's sweet to watch the interaction between these two already.  Before long they'll be playing together (and probably fighting as well).

Size wise, Avery is pretty much the same.  Still wearing 3 month and 0-3 month clothes and size 1 diapers.  We've made good use of big sister's old clothes here lately as the temperatures have dropped and we've had to dress a little warmer than usual.

Our photo shoot this month was a little rough and didn't last long.  Aves wasn't a fan of sitting in her chair...once she got to the floor, she kicked like crazy.

At least big sis is having fun (this is your sneak peek of Avery's room...see the wall color?)

Maybe she isn't a fan of the hat

Kisses for Avery!

Trying hard to sit up/pull herself forward

Much happier!

Talking to mommy

 Avery Leigh, happy 3 month birthday!  Mommy is really going to miss you next week (well the 3 days I work and will be away from you that is).
