Retirement

It is a sad day! Avery is growing out of her newborn clothes and diapers. I have officially put some of her newborn onsies into retirement. It is fun to dress her up in cute little outfits now instead of onsies all the time. Don't get me wrong, she is still teensy but definately getting bigger.

Ok since I haven't blogged in a while here is an update of Avery and our life together. Chris went out of town a few weeks ago leaving me home with Avery and Maggie. It was quite the treat trying to take Maggie out to go to the bathroom and take care of a screaming baby. For some reason Avery cried at the top of her lungs the entire day. I couldn't figure out what was wrong with her. I finally had to leave her in her swing and go take a shower. Then last Wed, I had a staff meeting to go to and then a sewing class. She did great at my meeting but at the sewing class she cried the entire time. I was so embarrassed. I was so excited to bring my cute little baby and show her off to everyone but instead I was mortified. Chris finally came home and I had to leave him alone with Avery for about 2 hours on Saturday while I took pictures for some highschool kids for their homecoming dance. and you guessed it Avery cried the entire time. We were so puzzled, why was she crying? Is she becomming a Colicky baby? Someone told me that if the baby crunches her tummy she has gas pains and if she arches and kicks she has acid reflux. Avery arches, kicks and then spits up a ton as well as fart so I am thinking she has gas bubbles and has acid reflux. Since our week from you know where, we have made an effort to burp her really well and sit her up after she eats and that has worked wonders.

On to better and brighter things. Avery is now holding up her head and smiling when we play and talk. She loves it when we touch her nose and mouth with her binkie and say "boop". Avery doesn't really like tummy time but we are working on it. If she has acid problems, tummy time might be a little hard. She loves to look at herself in the mirror and is grasping toys when we place it in her hand. She is now sleeping very well in the night. she wakes up about 3 in the morning like clockwork just like I did when I was pregnant. She is also starting to roll over. I'm not sure what age they really do that but she sure is moving around a lot. She had a hard time taking naps during the day previously but has been great this week. Every morning when we get dressed for the day we have dance time. I turn on the radio in her room and we dance. I am actually enjoying it and hope to make that our little thing we do in the morning. Here are some pics of her developments.

I promise to blog more often.
