3 Months Old!

So Avery is officially 3 months old as of yesterday (Sept. 15)! It is very hard to believe! She is getting so big! She is starting to roll from her back to her stomach...which is apparently harder than rolling from her stomach to back......she just hates being on her stomach. Nothing happens on her stomach except major crying! Mommy can't handle it, so I am always the sucker that picks her up early from her tummy time! She can really hold her head up well and she has even started to sit in her Bumpo chair (I will post that pic soon)! It is histerical. She has started grabbing things in front of her and putting them in her mouth and she has definitely realized there is a puppy dog in the house. She is entranced with Lily. Everything Lily does captures her attention for the longest time. She never has really paid attention to Lily before. Lily has been wonderful to Avery. Everytime Avery cries Lily runs into the room or runs up next to her to make sure she is okay. It is really sweet. I always though a baby would totally wig my skiddish dog out and I would never see her again (i.e. she would be hiding under the table or bed for the rest of her life). But she has done great!

Avery has a mirror on the wall right outside of her bedroom and everytime we walk out we look in the mirror and I think she recognizes me in the mirror, and so now I think she is starting to realize it is her in the mirror! She gets really shy and buries her head in my chest...my child shy? that is an oxymoron....she must take after her Aunt Anna on that one, because Nathan and I are not shy. I think Anna hid behind my mom for the first 10 years of her life! She was a ham at home and shy in public...it will be interesting to see if Avery is like that.

She still looks like a little boy if she is not wearing pink because her hair sticks straight up in spikes! Mom and I were at the mall and Mom was holding Avery where it was hard to tell she had a dress on and this little boy said to his mom "Mom, mom look at that little boy...he has tiny spikey hair...tiny spikey hair mom!". It was really cute! Mom and I just smiled..the little boy was probably 4 years old!




Avery has now discovered her high chair! This was the first time she got in the high chair and she LOVES it! We put a bunch of her rattles and toys on the tray and she played with them and hit the table! She loves being in the high chair when I am in the kitchen cooking...she can see eerything and she just smiles! She loves to pull all the toys off in her lap!

Daddy and his sleeping angel!

Ready for the SMU game. SMU onesie and Ponies hat - a gift from Kay Kay! Uncle Nick expected her to be in her GEAR on game day. Ponies are now 2-0 for the first time since 1996 I am told! Whoo hoo!

One of the very few tummy times where she has not been crying her eyes out. The octopus in front of her plays music and she was too distracted to cry...so we have to distract her in order to get the tummy time in! We love you, Avery Elizabeth!
