First, you had your 4 month appointment almost a month ago and you, darling, are in the 2%ile for your weight and the 3%ile for height. But since you're so proportionality built, the doctor says you're JUST perfect! I had to admit I was shocked when they told me you only weighed 11.12 pounds....shocked.
We started you on rice cereal a few weeks ago. You took it on your first bite. I was so impressed. Since then you've had a couple bowls of beans and for the first time this morning, you had some apples. You gave me such a silly face with the tartness of them. Yesterday morning, you learned that you can make noises on command. Daddy and I thought you were coughing, but really it's a "laugh" you're trying to do. You smile when I walk into the room. You smile at Daddy. And you smile at Aunt Sissy when you see her in the mornings too. You're one happy little girl. You've learned that you can pull your binky out of our mouth and it took you a few weeks to figure out how to get it back in. You can now turn your binky around and put it back in all by yourself. You can also turn from your tummy to your back (pretty quickly when you're mad), but you can't go from back to tummy quite yet.
I wish you would sleep through the night, we're still not quite there yet. We usually get in about 6 hours. But still not all night. Last week you slept for 9.5 hours and Daddy went in to make sure you were still breathing. I think with a couple more pounds on the little body of yours, you'll start sleeping all night.
You're the sweetest little thing in the whole wide world. You are so amazing and I swear you get cuter ever day, if that's even possible.
I love you Avery!!!
(and you love hunting)
Love you always and always,
Momma
