4 Months Old!!!!

At her 4 month check-up Avery weighed in at 12lbs 3oz (25th %) and was 25in long (75th %) - tall and skinny! She is becoming more and more animated every day, and it seems as though she has inherited Mommy's knack for conversation. Again, once I learn how to download the videos to this blog I will be able to share some of Avery's stories with you. :)Stay tuned....


I'm not sure if I have mentioned it on here before or not, but Avery LOVES her toes! When I sat her in her Bumbo seat today it only took a few seconds for her to spot those little piggy's and try to get them in her mouth. Who needs toys when you have toes - haha :)

Purple Mouth

At Avery's 4 month check-up on Friday the doctor noticed that she had the beginning signs of a slight case of Thrush (a yeast infection in babies mouths). They coated her mouth with an antifungal medicine that they said would stain her mouth (and anything she drooled or sucked on) bright purple. Thankfully, it only took about 24 hours to wear off.

Fun Day with Daddy!!!

Alex and Avery got to spend lots of quality time together today for Father's Day. They spent some snuggly time in bed this morning (after the hail storm blew through Gretna).

Then we took the official Father's Day photo before we headed to breakfast.

After breakfast and a family trip to Bass Pro Shops, they spent some time playing on the floor. Avery has just started rolling over this week! (I have it on video - just have to figure out how to load it onto the blog to share with everyone.)

Daddy went to play a quick 9 holes of golf while Avery took her afternoon nap. When he got home, they spent the rest of the evening snuggled up on the couch watching the US Open.

This is probably the only time in her life that Avery will sit this contently while watching 4 hours of golf. :)

There was plenty of time for kisses during the commercial breaks.

My Future's So Bright....

Yes, Avery was laughing at mommy while I sang her this classic 80's tune.

Fun in the Sun

The weather was absolutely perfect today so we decided to slather on the WaterBabies SPF50 and head outside for some fun in the sun. Avery loves bathtime, so we weren't too surpised that she also loves her baby pool!

Hanging out in her Bumbo while Daddy fills the pool.

Hank thought that Alex was filling up the pool for him to drink out of and he was very confused when we put Avery in his big water bowl to play.

Testing the water - luckily daddy filled it half full with warm water from inside.



Getting sleepy...

...very sleepy!
