Happy 3 Months!!

Avery Claire, at 3 months, you:

- weigh 13.4 pounds...Mommy must have weighed you with a full belly last week!
- are so funny! You are developing quite the little personality.

- love your hands. It's hard to keep them out of your mouth. I'm afraid you're going to be one of those babies that puts everything in your mouth - we'll have to watch you like hawks around here!

- talk, squeal, gurgle, and coo all of the time. It's precious!

- are becoming a Daddy's girl. You think he is hilarious!

Photobucket
- are STUBBORN! Mommy and Daddy have gotten in the bad habit of getting you sleep a certain way. You have to be held facing us, with your back arm under our arm. We have to walk around, bounce you, and try to hold the paci in your mouth at the same time. It's no easy task. And, needless to say, no one else can do it right. So, when other people want to hold you and you're sleepy, it's almost impossible for them to get you to sleep. This week, I've decided to show you that there are other ways to get to sleep - like rocking, for instance. You hate to sit down (I don't know how you know when we sit, but you do!). So, you've spent a few minutes before it's time to go to sleep kicking, grabbing Mommy's hair, crying and squirming, but you're learning that rocking to sleep isn't so bad!

- have started to realize when you wake up in a place other than home. Sometimes it scares you, and that bottom lip pokes out and makes us feel so sorry for you!

- haven't been sleeping all night every night this week, but you're only getting up once on the nights you don't sleep all night. We can definitely live with that!

- have taken some really good naps this week in your crib. We hope you're going to become a better daytime napper as you get older!

- recognize your bottle and get so excited when you see it!

- can pitch a fit! Here's proof for those who might not believe it!

- love to blow bubbles! You slobber all day long!

- have started wearing size 2 diapers this week. That makes us a little sad because it means you're growing up so fast.

Photobucket

- like to hear Daddy sing "Good Morning, Beautiful" at any time of the day.

- like to hear Mommy sing "The Wheels on the Bus." Your favorite part is "the baby on the bus says wah, wah, wah!
Photobucket
- are the most awesome, best thing in the world to us!! We can't imagine what we ever did to get so lucky that God would give us a little girl as perfect and precious as you! We love you so very much!!
