Avery is 5 months old!

Wow!  It seems like I was just posting Avery's 4 month stats, and now she is 5 months old!  With Christmas and everything, this last month just flew by.  At church on Sunday, there was an 11 week old baby sitting in front of us, and she was soooo tiny!  Avery practically looked like a toddler compared to her!  It's hard to believe that she was that small just a few months back.  She continues to grow and stay healthy, which we are so thankful for.  She is also learning so much, and starting to become just another member of the family. 
5 Month Stats...
14 1/2 lbs  25 1/2 inches long (At home measurements)
Still wearing 3-6 month clothes
Eating breastmilk, along with rice cereal twice a day (And she LOVES it!)
Sleeping in her own room for most of the night (YIPEE!)
She is in the process of losing baby hair, and growing new light brown hair which makes for an interesting "hair-do" right now.
She is also teething like crazy, so I have a feeling that by next month she will at least have her first bottom tooth!

She continues to enjoy daycare a few days a week, and is learning how to sit up (with support).  She also loves her baths, playtime on the floor with her toys, going places, snuggle time with Mommy and Daddy, and playing with her doggies (mostly Cooper).  She is also babbling, smiling, and giggling more and more which we just love!  Here are a few pictures from this week.  Enjoy!

Avery and the dogs get along great!  Shelby is more of the protector type, and Cooper is definitely the more playful one.  Avery loves to pet them and watch them play. 


She has gotten so good at eating her cereal this week!


It's a messy, but fun event for us every night.
