While telling me about her day at preschool, Avery explained that she didn't get the stickers that she wanted to decorate her paper. She said, "Someone else got Aurora and I tried not to panic."
...
In the car on the way to school, Avery told me that Jesus wants everyone to be a newborn first.
...
Today Avery asked me if everyone's blood is red and if it's important.
Then she told me that Jesus gave blood for everyone.
...
Sean was tucking Avery in bed and asked if she wanted her own room when we buy a house,
or if she wanted to share a room with Ruby.
But then Sean said that she couldn't share a room with Ruby because she's not nice to her.
So then Sean asked Avery if she wanted to share a room with Eli.
She told Sean that she can't share a room with him because she mean to him too.
...
A randomly told me that she's glad that Jesus gave her her life and her family.
...
Avery loves the song, Shake it Off by Taylor Swift.
In the song, there is a line that says "the liars and the dirty, dirty cheats of the world."
Avery doesn't know what this means and can't even really repeat it.
But the in the car one day she asked me if she was a "dirty cheats."
...
While driving in the car, Avery notices white streaks in the sky.
She asked me if they were ghost tracks.
September 2014
Every since her accident, Avery has been playing "doctor" a lot. She is always the "surgery doctor" and her patients are always getting surgery. They always have to go to the "sleepy doctor" first, the anesthesiologist. In fact, Avery told me that she wants to be a surgeon when she grows up.
...
At preschool, Avery's teacher told her that grandparents could go on their field trips. Avery took it as grandparents were supposed to go on field trips and got really upset when I told her that her grandparents couldn't come.
November 18,2013
Today Avery told me, "Mom, Mickey wear red shorts. He needs a shirt.
He needs a shirt to cover up his boobies and belly.
And Donald and Daisy need pants."
October 30, 2013
Tonight was the ward Primary Halloween Party.
The girls had a good time.
As we were driving away.
Avery waved to the church and said, "Goodbye Church Halloween Party!"
...
Tonight we had a meeting with the stake president.
As we were leaving his office Avery yelled, "Goodbye grown ups!"
...
Yesterday, Avery told me that Eli was the cutest baby in the universe.
And tonight she told me that I was the best mom in the universe.
October 29, 2013
Avery started sucking on her lower lip earlier this year.
She does it all the time now, even in her sleep.
Her lower lip is always swollen.
Today, I gave her a binkie to suck on instead of her lip while she watched a movie.
It worked.
So I think I'll push the binkie for a little while to weenie her off the lip sucking.
...
Today Avery asked me if she could eat some "mashed potato chips."
October 24, 2013
Today while we were out shopping at the City Creek Mall in Salt Lake,
a lady pointed to Avery and asked me if she was my daughter and what her name was.
Then she told me that Avery was so gorgeous and that she should be in commercials.
And then the lady told me that Avery was so beautiful that she made her want to have kids.
October 22, 2013
While on the way to preschool, Avery asked me if we were getting a baby soon.
I told her no. Then she told me that we need to buy some tiny sleeping bags
for our babies so that they will have a place to sleep.
August 15, 2013
Me: We're going to Sam's Club.
Avery: Is Santa gonna be there?
Me: No.
Avery: Is he swimming?
July 29, 2013
Things are never dull with a three year old in the house!!!
Avery locked me out this morning while I went out to take out the trash. I of course didn't have any keys or phone on me. Eli was awake and crawling around, so I was worried about his safety and Lexi was in bed sound a sleep still.
I stood outside the door and begged Avery to unlock the door. She just told me I don't know how. She doesn't. So I asked to her go get Lexi. To which Avery replied, "I need to get dressed." And then she left the front door.
I just rang the doorbell and knocked for minutes. So finally, I went and threw rocks at Lexi's bedroom window until she woke up. And finally she came and unlocked the door. I was so happy to see my kids!
July 19, 2013
Today, Eli had his 9 month old check-up.
While we were in the waiting room Avery would run to the door to the exam rooms and yell,
"Haniotis, Haniotis!" Hers doctor's name is Dr. Valerie Rahaniotis.
July 9, 2013
I'm not sure if this makes me a bad mom or a good mom,
but today I used Nair on Avery's back and uni-brow.
I just told her it was special pink lotion that made her skin smooth.
I also bribed her with an Oreo.
She only agreed to do it after I agreed to giving her two.
July 2, 2013
This morning after nursing Eli, I went into the kitchen briefly.
On the way back to my bedroom, I noticed that Avery was asleep on the couch.
She had her giraffe blanket and sheep pillow with her.
I scooped her up and put her back in her own bed.
...
Today Avery decided to go into my room and close the door.
After a few minutes, I got suspicious.
So I went to check on her.
Avery had found a pack of gum on my night stand.
When I found her she had eaten the entire pack, minus one piece of gum.
July 1, 2013
Sean woke up today, showered and dressed and started working (it was a work from home day).
When Avery woke up she came and said good morning to him and then left.
After a while Sean went into the living room
and found Avery had helped herself to an apple and was eating it.
She's very independent.
June 30, 2013
Today I notice that a small section of Avery's hair near her forehead is suddenly shorter.
It seems to me that someone has cut a chunk of her hair.
But neither Sean nor I know when or where is happened.
My guess is Avery went into my make up drawer, like she always does,
and found my cuticle scissors and cut her hair.
June 23, 2013
I told Avery to go pick out a book to read before bed.
She instantly replied, "Book of Mormon stories that my teacher tells to me."
I then handed her our children's illustrated Book of Mormon.
She opened it and began reading to Eli.
"Nephi build a boat."
June 21, 2013
Tonight Avery was tired and being just plain ornery.
She was running around destroying everything in sight.
So I sent her to time out in her room around 6:30.
Sean went to get her out around 6:45 and she had fallen asleep for the night.
That was exactly what she needed.
June 19, 2013
Avery recently started going into the pantry and getting out food for Eli.
She loves to grab his Little Puffs and dumping hundreds of them on Eli's tray.
Today I got so frustrated with her for doing it again.
I told her again, "You don't feed him! You're not his mother!"
She screamed back at me in tears, "I is his mother!"
May 16, 3013
Avery lay lifeless on the couch this morning. Exhausted from feeling sick for days.
She didn't say a word all morning until Eli woke up and I brought him in the living room.
As soon as she saw him she excitedly and cheerfully started talking.
She said, "Eli's my favorite. Eli's not Austin. He's Eli.
Austin's little. Eli's big. I'm little like Austin and Eli's big."
May 14, 2013
While sitting on her dad's lap, Avery started throwing up.
Sean is such a great dad because he just held her and
let her finish throwing up on him before he did anything.
While I bathed Avery, Sean hand rinsed all of her throw up clothes.
May 13, 2013
Sean: Avery, whose my cute little girl?
Avery: I don't know. Eli's not a girl.
May 9, 2013
This morning Avery said to her dad to say, "I love you Sean."
...
I asked Avery, "What do you want our new house to be like?" And she replied, "A big one."
May 8, 2013
Avery stated today as she does most days, "Eli's my favorite. Eli is my best friend."
April 2013
Avery can't pronounce the words, "Polka Dot." Instead she says, "Poka Not."
Avery also can't say, "Rice Crispies." She calls the cereal, "Rice Pippies."
Avery can't say the word, "back yard." Instead she says, "Back Ard."
...
Avery talks about her new big house all the time,
probably because Sean and I are always taking about buying a house.
Avery is always reminding me that she wants a big "back ard" with a swing.
March 27, 2013
I want to make sure I record some of Avery's recent shenanigans.
...
Avery loves watching me put on my make up and is always asking for me to put some on her. She often takes my blush brush and rubs it all over her face. The other day Avery was watching me get ready and saw me put in my contacts. She then stuck her finger in the contact solution in my contact case and then stuck her finger on her eye. Today, I found Avery in the bathroom sitting on the floor hunched over looking at something. I quickly realized that it was my contact case. One side was opened and empty. Next to the case I saw my dried up and ripped up contact.
...
Avery has been potty trained for about two weeks now. When she's at home she uses the "frog potty." It's a portable little potty chair that sit on the ground. There is a removable bowl where Avery's "waste" goes. After she uses her potty I rinse and dump her "waste" into the toilet and flush it. One morning last week I woke up to the sound of the running water of bathroom sink (a frequent sound in our house). I went to the bathroom and found Avery. She had gone potty and taken the bowl from the frog potty to the bathroom sink and filled it up with water and then tried to carry the water-pee mixture to the toilet. It was too heavy so it was spilled all over the bathroom floor. That was a surprising way to start my day- my bathroom floor being flooded with water and pee.
...
This past Sunday morning was not Avery best. She woke up before me and went out to the living room and laid on the couch (which is what she does most mornings). The night before I had folded several loads of laundry and left them on the couch. Avery saw them on "her" couch (she is very territorial of the couch for some reason) and she just threw it all on the floor so she could lay down. I was upset what I woke up, that's for sure. That morning we were attending at 9 am ward so we had to hurry and get ready. I had picked out some matching dresses for the girls to wear. Avery didn't want to wear that dress though. So Sean asked her what she wanted to wear. Four different times what she wanted to wear, then he would get it and try to put it on Avery and then she'd shriek, "Not that one!"
...
About a week ago, I pulled out the bins with the girls spring/ summer clothes. In it was Avery beloved Ariel swimsuit that she wore last summer. She had been asking for it and since she got it back she has worn it around the house EVERY day.
...
Avery is VERY, VERY, VERY opinionated about her clothing.
She HATES, HATES, HATES pants! She refuses to wear them. Dressing her in the winter has been a struggle. She only wants to wear dresses and she won't wear any time of leggings. She kicks and streams and fights me any time I try to dress her in something that she doesn't want to wear.
...
Yesterday morning Avery told me that she wanted Halle to be with her. She loves her cousin Halle and is always more than willing to go play with her.
...
Today Avery was throwing a tantrum and while asking me to help her. I told her that I wouldn't help her because she wasn't being nice to me. So she screamed at me, "I being nice to you!" Then I told her again that she wasn't so I still wouldn't help me. So she screamed at me, "I mad at you!"
...
Yesterday Avery was having some sort of "queso fresco" for a snack. It was big crubs of soft white cheese. Meanwhile, Eli was playing happily in his jumper. A few minutes later I realized that Avery was feeding Eli the cheese. I told her that she couldn't feed him. That is wasn't safe for Eli. But to be honest, Eli didn't look like upset. He seemed content eating that cheese.
...
Frequently when we get into the van Avery will say, "Mommy sits with Daddy. Avery sits with Eli. And Lexi sit in the back with nobody." She loves to pester her sister.
...
Sean and I often refer to Avery as our free spirited child. She is little miss independent. She just does what she wants and doesn't think she even needs to ask for permission. And often when I try to get Avery to do something that she doesn't want to, she'll just look at me and calmly say, "I don't want to. Never mind."Then she walks away.
...
Today Avery told me, "I want more babies. I want another Buddy." She also told me that Buddy wants more sisters.
March 5, 2013
While telling me about her day at preschool, Avery explained that she didn't get the stickers that she wanted to decorate her paper. She said, "Someone else got Aurora and I tried not to panic."

November 29, 2012
I went to get Avery out of her room after her nap and she told me, "I want to get married."

To help the girls breath I would take them out in the cold air.
In fact, one night I wrapped up Avery and took her out on our deck at 1 am.

pill, just like I knew she would be.
August 2011
The other day Avery woke up a little before 7 and I ignored her and she fell back asleep until 8:20.

When I
went to go get Avery out of her crib I found her with one arm out of her sleeve
and instead sticking out the collar of her shirt.
...
Avery is
our tiny dancer. The second she hears any music she begins dancing.
...
Avery is
learning her body parts. Her favorite is nose.
She is always touching our noses and says nose.
The other touch she even touch one of my friends noses, even though she didn't know her!

She looks out the dinning room window and waves and says hi as fast as she can.

Avery
doesn't listen.
The other
day I told her to sit down when she was standing on her little car that she
rides on.
She didn't listen.
The next thing I knew she had fell over and had a bloody nose.
The fall didn't make her cry as much as the blood did.
She was bleeding like CRAZY. Seriously, she and I were really covered in blood!

Avery's
favorite TV show is Caillou.
If you ask
her if she wants to watch Caillou she says yah and starts dancing.
She loves
to dance to the theme song.
I know
Caillou is a little old for her but she watches because Lexi does.
And now I
think she loves it more than Lexi.
...
I've started
sending Avery to time out.
Mostly for
pulling Lexi's hair.
When she does it we say, "Naughty. Time out in crib."
And she instantly begins screaming like it's the end of the world!

Avery
loves brushing her teeth. Whenever Sean or I are brushing our teeth
or are
just in the bathroom, Avery will come up to us and say "tee"
for teeth.

Avery is
15 months old.
Her stats
at her check up were: 19 1/2 lbs (5%) and 29 1/2 inches (20%).
...
Avery is
full of personality and she requires a lot of attention
because
she loves to do things she's not supposed to.
Avery's
two new favorite toys are the computer and the dishwasher.
Avery will
push a chair over to the desk and get up on it and play with the keyboard.
If we are
at the computer and get up for one second Avery is instantly on our chair
and
playing with the computer. She is fast.
...
Avery now
say "ya." So now when we asked her if she wants something she'll say,
"ya."
She
doesn't know how to say "no" which is really nice.
...
One of
Avery's new favorite things to do is pull Lexi's hair.
...
Whenever we sit down at the table Avery automatically folds her arms to pray. And when I get up to go get something for the kitchen and sit back down Avery folds her arms again. She is always reminding us to pray.
...
Avery now using forks and spoons.

She has
changed so much since her birthday.
Avery is no longer a little baby, she's a feisty, adventurous toddler.
Avery is no longer a little baby, she's a feisty, adventurous toddler.

Avery is a lot more adventurous than her big sister.
Just yesterday she figured out how to climb up on one of our dinning room chairs.
She can now stand up in shopping carts,
it doesn't seem to matter how tight I tighten the harness, she still always manages to get free.

If someone
is moving towards her or acting like they are going to pick her up she screams
and runs to me or wraps her arms around me if I'm holding her.

Avery will
eat anything she can get her hands on.
Just this
morning I found her sitting on the floor chewing on a day old corn dog she
found.
...
...
Avery gets
really excited when Sean comes home.
She runs
to the door and puts her arms up in the air for him to pick her up.
...
...
Avery goes
to bed earlier and wakes up earlier than Lexi.
In the
mornings, when Avery is ready for Lexi to wake up and go play in their room
she'll knock on their bedroom door. And the second I open the door when Lexi is
awake, Avery runs in saying, "Hi."
...
...
Avery is
obsessed with phones. Whenever she gets her hands on one she runs aways with
it.
And
whenever Avery sees us talking on the phone she wants to talk too. She just
says hi over and over and over. It's adorable.
...
Whenever Avery sees dogs she says "da" and starts panting like crazy.

She does a pretty good job recognizing them.

and say "chee."
I
hope that never changes.

Avery is
one tough little girl. Sadly she is used to being pushed over and knocked down.
May 2011
We bought Avery a little floaty boat thing to sit in while we're swimming.
She HATES it. She just wants to be held.
Avery isn't too excited about the pool. She would just rather sit outside and eat on my lap.
...
Avery loves the freedom that walking gives her.

Avery recognizes bananas and calls them nanas.
She gets really excited about nanas, not because she likes eating them
but because she can says nana.

Avery
thankfully no longer nurses (I was so ready to be done).
Instead of
nursing before going to sleep I now read to her and she LOVES books!
AVERY NOW
SLEEPS THROUGH THE NIGHT!!! HALLELUJAH!!!
Avery does
sleep through the night but she is a really early riser, like 5:30 am
ish.
Which is
really hard for me. I'm not a morning person, AT ALL!
...
...
Avery
now has all four of her 1 year old molars. She only has 4 regular teeth left
(she has 8 regular teeth now) and then she will be all done with teething...
for now.

Avery has a favorite baby doll (she loves baby dolls) and a "lovie" she loves to chew on and sleep with.

On the morning of her birthday, Avery mostly played with her Grandpa
while my mom and Lexi made the cupcakes and I finished up party decorations.
Then Avery napped and I actually had to wake her up to go to her party.
We had the party at my friend Tiffany's house.
It was a small gathering, just some of my friends and their kids.
Really it was an excuse for me to just hang out with my peeps.

pictures of Avery, sewed a banner, painted Avery's name
and made
some tissue paper balls.

That night we went out to Sadie's, one of our favorite New Mexican restaurants.
I made sure that the servers sung to Avery for her birthday.
They even brought her dessert.

We
rearranged our bedrooms today.
Before
Avery was in the bigger bedroom with us.
Now Sean
and I are in the smaller bedroom.
And the
girls are in the bigger room, which is great because
all of
their toys are in there with them!
The girls
have done AMAZING as roommates.
It makes
me wonder why I wanted so long.
Avery still usually wakes up once to nurse but Lexi has never been woken up by Avery's cries.

her first steps today!!!
She also
got her first blooding nose today.
The two
were not related.
And three
out of the last four nights Avery has sleep through the night!
HIP HIP
HURRAY!!! FINALLY!!!
March
28, 2011
One more
month until Avery's first birthday!
I can't
believe my baby is already 11 months old!
She just
keeps getting more fun and more adorable.
She's got
us wrapped around her little pudgy fingers.
Avery
makes the cutest faces.
And I melt
every time I look into her big green eyes.
She loves
exploring everything around her.
I love
watching her discover and learn new things.
There is
nothing better than hearing her saying, "mama" and "dada."
...
...
Here are
some things I want to remember about Avery:
She mostly
just says, "Mum."
She signs
"more" and "all done" when she's eating.
She LOVES
music and singing. And will instantly dance or sway when she hears either.
Lexi can
always make her laugh.
She now
walks along the side of things.
Avery can
crawl faster than any other baby. She's so quick.
She now
waves when we say, "hi" or "Bye, bye."
As soon as
Avery hears the water running in the tub she books it for th bathroom.
This baby
LOVES the bath! She often splashes so much that Lexi wants out of the tub.
Avery
LOVES babies. And squeals when she sees them. And always wants to touch them.
Avery is
one of the loudest babies I know.
March 23, 2011
Today
Avery climbed up on Lexi's bed and got some books.
I had no
idea that she knew how to do this.
Now even
Lexi's room isn't baby proof anymore.
I took a
video because Avery was just so cute and seemed so proud of herself.
February 2011
Avery LOVES watching Lexi's Disney Princess Sing-a-Long DVDs. She just sits on the floor as close to the TV as she can and rocks back and forth to the music.
...
Avery loves the bath even more than Lexi did. She is a splasher and a squealer in the tub.
January 28, 2011
Avery turned 9 months old. I can't believe it! We are really enjoying her age. She is getting so fun!
Her latest trick - pulling herself up to stand.
...
We have since lowered the crib and she can no longer chew on the crib.
Note to self: never buy a dark colored crib!
...
9 month stats: 17 lbs 4 Oz (20%), 28 inches tall (60%)

We like to
call Avery our puppy. She crawls all over the place and especially likes to
follow Lexi around. She also loves having things in her mouth.
The other
day I found her in her crib she had her blanket in her mouth.
Socks are
one of her favorite things to put in her mouth.
She really
is always crawling around with something in her mouth. That's our puppy for
you.
January

we created
a potty chart for Lexi. Each time she went in the potty she got a
sticker.
And she just
got her 20th sticker, completing the chart.
So we took
her to Target to pick out a princess toy. She was so excited!
She picked
out a Cinderella toy, complete with carriage, mice, horses and the fairy
godmother.
hen we got
to the cash register she gave the cashier her potty chart. The cashier seemed a
little confused but Lexi didn't notice she just wanted to make sure that she
got her toy.
Now that
Lexi has a new carriage she will let her sister Avery play with the Little
People carriage.
January

We've been
potty training Lexi for two weeks now and she's doing great.
We have
had very few accidents and she is really good at telling us when she needs to
go.
She has
been wanting to wear under ware for a long time but I just wasn't ready to
potty train.
So we told
her after Christmas she could wear under ware.
For the
first week, we gave her a Jolly Rancher gummy treat every time she went
potty,
then we
moved on to Tic Tacs. Now we have a sticker chart.
Eventually
we'll stop rewarding her but for now it's good encouragement.
We have
been putting Pull Ups on Lexi when she sleeps but I want to start weaning her
of that.
We were
originally putting Pull Ups on her when we went out but have stop,
expect for
church on Sundays (I don't want to deal with an accident at church).
Last
night, we were at church for our weekly youth activities and Lexi kept wanting
to go potty.
She loves
washing her hands and flushing.
She wasn't
actually doing anything, she just wanted to "try."
Finally,
on her 10th or so "try" I took Avery with me.
I was
trying to make sure Avery didn't touch anything while trying to help Lexi
balance on the big toilet.
I didn't
do such a good job though.
Lexi was
moving too much and I wasn't helping enough and she fell in the toilet!
Completely
fell in. Like her legs and arms were sticking out but her body was in the
toilet.
She just
had a very surprised look on her face and I just couldn't stop laughing.
I pulled
her out, took off her clothes, dried her off and put a coat on her naked body
and we went home. And the good news is that I don't think she is going to be
traumatized.
January

Lexi has
been potty training for a week and and has been doing AMAZING!
As a
reward by parents bought Lexi a Belle dress. Lexi was SOOOO excited.
Lexi
already wears Belle dress up shoes and Belle Barbie. Yeah, Belle is her
favorite.
But that seems fitting since she was my favorite
and Sean thought she was the prettiest of all the princesses.

both agree that we are more content with Avery as a baby than Lexi.

Lexi as a baby but we were always excited for her to learn new things and get
older.
Now we
know how fast babies grow up and our just enjoying Avery as she is.
And now
right she's pretty amazing.
We love
you Avery Joy!
Christmas 25, 2010
Avery decided to wake up at 6:30! Way too early. So she was the first one to go find her stocking.
Avery enjoyed playing with the wrapping paper and boxes.
Avery was content just playing with her new toys.
Avery had a great first Christmas. She just spent the whole day playing happily on the floor.
She even got a little power nap on Sean's lap. A special Christmas gift for Sean, for sure.

We went to the River of Lights at the Bio Park in downtown Albuquerque.
Avery was amazing the whole time (like usual). She just sat in her stroller and never fussed once!

Avery is
now 7 months old. Here are some facts about Avery:
-She now
sits up really well unsupported and doesn't fall over nearly as much.
-Avery is
now doing really well eating solids. She likes graham crackers, cream of wheat,
and fruity rice cereal or oatmeal and bread. She loves the carbs!
-Avery
loves being thrown up in the air and tossed around. I think she is going to
love rough housing.
-Avery
loves being in the bath, just like her sister.
-Avery is
still waking up to eat at night but less than before. I am going to try to wean
her off of that this month (any advice?).
-Avery
still only has three teeth but is teething and it won't be long (hopefully)
before more teeth cut through.
-Avery is
the happiest baby and we adore her!
November 2010
Last weekend we all us girls got sick. We're feeling better now. Avery has been teething like crazy though. We can now see her fourth tooth (it hasn't cut through though) and we can feel her fifth and sixth tooth under her swollen gums. The poor thing has had a rough week.
...
We have a "Christensen Dance Night" about once a week or so. We crank up the tunes and shake it!
Last time we added fake color changing candles to the mix. And we had a blast!
We even gave Avery a light in a cup. She I think enjoy Christensen Dance Night more than anyone actually. She loves music and dancing and was giggling the whole time.
November 6, 2010
We bought and decorated our Christmas tree. Lexi just couldn't wait (I was excited too).
Lexi was so hyper. She was so excited about the tree.
October 31, 2010
Avery is the team mascot and Lexi is the team cheerleader.
And our Jack-O-Lantern, Avery, got her third tooth today! It's a companion tooth for her first two teeth.
I would be surprised if Avery has a mouth full of teeth soon. Her gums are all swollen.
Today we found a solid food that Avery actually seems to enjoy... potatoes!
I should have known she would, after all she was born in Idaho.

Today was
Avery's 6 month check-up. She did amazing! She shared lots of smiles with the
nurses and doctor and after her shots she cried for 30 seconds, nursed and then
took a nap.
Avery is
now 15 lbs 6 Oz (30%) and 26 inches long (55%).
So at this
age Avery and Lexi are actually almost the exact same size.

We went to our ward Halloween party tonight.
very was a doll (like always). She didn't fuss or make a peep the whole time
even though she was running fever.
October 28, 2010
Six months ago today Avery entered the world. Everyday I am so grateful for this little girl in my life. Avery has taught me once again what it means to love another person more than myself.
My eyes are watering up as I think about how much Avery means to me. She is an amazing little girl.
She's so sweet and has the best smile and laugh. I can't imagine our lives without her,
it just seems like she's always been with us.
...
Even though Lexi can be a little rough,
she loves her little sisters so much already and is protective of her.

Avery
hardly ever cries and is so easy to watch. She basically watches herself.
I can just
let her playing on the floor with some toys for up to an hour at a time
and she
doesn't make a peep.
...
Avery has
been teething and the poor thing isn't sleeping well
(me and
Sean either - the joys of sharing a room with your baby).
She has
been up so much at night again.
...
Since
teething, Avery has also stopped showing interest in solid foods.
...
Avery is
to the stage where she wants to be holding ANYTHING and EVERYTHING around
her.
And then
she wants to put it into her mouth.
...
Since
teething, Avery has started to kinda take a binkie.
She mostly
just chews on it but it will help calm her down.
...
Avery can
sit up unsupported but falls over often wiggling or trying to grab things out
of her reach.
...
Avery
doesn't crawl but she rolls over and wiggles around on the floor to get what
she wants.
...
Avery naps
three times a day.
...
Avery is
such a happy baby! She is the kind of baby that makes us want to have more
kids. The other day Sean and I were talking about twins and Sean said he would
love twin Avery's.
I would
too. She's just that great!
October 2010
I can put
little clippies in Avery's hair!!!
...
Poor Avery has been teething all month, well acutally before than too.
But this is the month we are actually starting to see teeth. Her second tooth just showed up.
Avery has been such a good baby through all of this. She hardly ever cries and is still full of smiles.
She hasn't been sleeping good though. She's not fussy at night, she just not sleeping, seriously.
Last Saturday, I was up with her SIX TIMES! That's more than I ever did when she was a newborn!
I've been giving her Orajel and some Tylenol and that's been helping her to sleep better.
Now I'm just to the point that I want six teeth to poop through so we can be done with teething for awhile.

We went to the pumpkin patch I realized that Avery had a little tooth poking through her gums.
I never would have guessed because she didn't cry once all day.
She is such a happy baby and is all smiles even while teething!

Avery is constantly growing and changing.
Just within the last week every has been a real chatter box!
She is always making noise and I love it. She is also getting really good at sitting up by herself.
Yesterday, I tried to lay her down in the tub she wouldn't. She kept trying to sit up so finally I let her.
And of course Avery is still the smiliest baby I've ever known!

Avery is
11 1/2 weeks old. Today I took her in for another check up.
Little
Avery got a shot in each leg and one oral shot. She screamed of course but
after I held her she stopped crying pretty quickly. She was cranky for a while
though.
She's 23
1/2 inches long (70%) and 11 1/2 lbs (40%)
