Bumbo Attempt #2

The second attempt in the Bumbo was a success! She is now able to hold herself up and she has good head control, too. She is using her tummy muscles more now, she even tries to sit up sometimes. She seemed to enjoy it this time as she held on a long conversation with Daddy.

TV Junkie

Avery is pretty predictable with her evening fussiness and on this particular night Daddy had gone through all his tricks for pacifying her or distracting her but nothing was working. Daddy and Avery disappeared into the other room and I was sitting in the living room as it became unusually silent. When I went to investigate this is what I found.

Chompers

Well, after 2 days of contemplating we have decided that what we see is in fact, 2 little teeth coming in on the bottom of Avery's mouth! She has been a drool-monster for the last several weeks but we didnt think anything of it. The other morning, when she was oh-so-sweetly screaming her lungs out, I got a slight view of the little side-by-side white areas on her gums. When I asked Jeff he said he had seen them too but wasnt sure. So, lucky for us, she was screaming again and we could definitely see them! Its pretty early for teeth, but Grandma Stone says Jeff got his first at 4 mo. This explains the drool and the constant chewing of hands. I'll get pictures when I can. So far, not that fussy....hope I didnt just jinx myself!!! Happy chewing!

Who's Yo Daddy....

So.....do you think Avery looks like Daddy?? Sorry about the cheeks shot, honey ;)

Thanks Grandma Stone!

Avery is 3 Months!

Avery is 3 months old now! She is growing and changing every day, it seems. She is interacting more with her environment and she tends to focus on something (?) for long periods of time. She laughs and smiles at us and we think she recognizes us. I guess she's decided we are kinda fun and that we're keepers.
