Avery 3 Months Old

Avery This Week

Avery is going to be 3 months old on Halloween. I can hardly believe
it. She is around 13 lbs. And pretty long. She likes eating, being on
the floor and her swing. She doesn't really like napping and hates
baths and wet/dirty diapers. She smiles/laughs/'talks' on command, and
whenever she feels like it. She has surpassed Lauren's 6 month old
weight by a pound, and she's not even 3 months yet. (Lauren was only
12 lbs at 6 months old). Tim has said that Avery is going to be a
quiet bookworm/nerd and Lauren will be the outgoing (meaning LOUD)
'bully'. I said that poor Avery will get picked on and Lauren will go
kick butt for her. She hasn't quite figured out how to roll over yet,
but that will come. Its hard for me not to compare my kids and their
developmental stages. We're going to start teaching Avery signs in the
next few months, probably around Christmas, as that is how Lauren
communicates right now.
She's been acting a little funny this week, but not weird enough to go
to the doctor. With all the crap that's out there, everything makes me
worried.

I'm Almost 6 Weeks Old!

I can't believe how fast they grow, but most of the time I wish they were old enough to sleep all night and understand directions and eat and change themselves. But then, what would I have to do? (Besides sleep and take care of myself.) Until then, I am on the backburner and my kids are front and center. And that's ok. They need me, and I have all the time in the world.

(Avery can't really hold her head up yet, but the Bumbo does a good job of making it look that way. If only we could keep Lauren from trying to murder Avery every chance she gets, life would be good.)

Oh, my kids. Sigh.

5 weeks old!
