Avery is becoming more and more aware of her surroundings each day - especially with her puppy-brother, Auto. She really wants to get him - he should probably prepare himself for when she becomes mobile!
She can sit up on her own, although she's still not entirely stable. She's so easy going though, that even if she face-plants, she just lies there quietly under someone helps her back up (it's pretty funny, actually).
Avery WAS sleeping through the night...until she turned 4 months old. Now she wakes up once per night and needs a bottle.
The first half of the night is spent in her crib in her own room, the second half of the night (after her bottle) is spent in our room in her rocker.
As far as her bedtime routine - still reading a story and taking a bottle and rocking her to sleep. Crying it out is just not an option for us, and I really believe that this is why we have such a happy little girl.
Baby drool is a big part of our life right now - Avery really just has unlimited amounts of it and can't keep it in her mouth! No teething going on yet, just lots of drool.
Avery is the proud owner of an exersaucer and loves the freedom it gives her to stand and play on her own.
Her tongue is out almost all the time! We keep telling her that she's gonna regret sticking it out so much once she's gets some teeth in her mouth.
Still on formula only. Since we are planning on skipping rice cereal and puréed foods and doing baby led weaning, we are waiting until Avery shows signs of being ready to eat: sitting up on her own, grasping things well, showing an interest in food, etc. she's just not quite there yet...but soon will be!
Avery is still just a peanut - wearing 3 month clothing and only some 3-6 month sizes.
She's been sleeping on her tummy lately. This made us really nervous at first, but she seems to be just fine with it.
Rolling over is taking some time - Avery's only done it a handful of times, and can only tolerate being on her belly (awake) for about 10 minutes or so...she would rather be sitting up or standing (with help of course).
Avery loves to scratch things! I think she likes the sound it makes. She scratches couches, pillows, counter tops, everything!
Avery loves to laugh at Auto!
She knows who mommy and daddy are and smiles when we enter a room.
Avery LOVES cell phones!
Avery and mommy are still loving baby wearing - we often cook dinner hooked together!
Our happy baby is such a blessing - can't wait to see what this month brings!
(Fall colors and pumpkins are PERFECT timing for 6 month photos!)
