Avery turned 4 months last week. She has developed quite the personality. She will laugh out loud when I dance, play peek a boo, chase Bella around, and tickle her belly and collarbone. She is so much fun these days; Ben and I can easily spend hours just playing with her. As I have shared with some friends, I really wish maternity leave was in this stage of her life. Although I appreciated the time we had the first 3 months when she needed me most, I selfishly would trade them in for this point and time in her life.
Avery is doing very well at daycare. The women there love her and are constantly telling us how much they enjoy her. She rarely has a bad day these days and has given us a sneak peak at what it would be like to sleep through the night (4 nights she slept 12 hrs straight).
At her 4 month doctor appointment she weighed 13 lbs 8 oz and was almost 25 inches long. She is right in the 50 percentile in height and weight. The doctor encouraged us to begin some solid foods when we felt ready so we gave sweet potatoes and squash a try. She didn't love it, but didn't hate it either.
