Happy Four Months Avery!

Happy Four Months to my sweet, happy, giggly little girl! Avery really has blossomed over the last month, she's made many new discoveries and truly has become in incredibly happy little baby. Sad to say, I think that what we thought was reflux her first few months was just colic. ugh. I am glad that is over with.



So what has our little Avery been up to you ask? LOTS!

Avery still isn't big on naps, but we're getting better, a lot of little naps here and there still.

We started sleep training. Avery started to use nursing as her way to get herself back to sleep, and after much consideration and many books later, we decided it had to be done. The cry it out method sucks, but it works. She is now getting a bottle before bed, anywhere from 4-5 oz. Bed time around 8:30 p.m., asleep some nights until 3 or 4 a.m., others up at 1:30 a.m. to cry it out, nurse and then back to bed for a few more hours. MUCH improved!

She is still a snacker, nursing every 2-3 hours during the day.

She found her toes and you LOVE to chew on them.

Avery also found her voice and love to talk to us all day long, even at 2 a.m sometimes. It's adorable, though sometimes I feel like I'm speaking in whale?

She's rolled over from back to belly and a few times from belly to back, and mastered tummy time.

We've tried lots of new toys including the jumper, which she still have yet to figure out, but seem to be okay hanging out in it for a least a few minutes, the exersaucer, high chair for when we eat dinner and our new double stroller! 

Still doing great in the car for long trips.

Wearing size 2 diapers, but I feel in the next few weeks will be out of them, 3-6 month clothing and some smaller 6 month jammies.

For this month's photo we managed to go through 3 onsies yet again. Unfortunately you are still big on spitting up.

We love you more and more every, single day. :)
