at 4 months she has decided that sleeping through the night isn't as cool as it used to be. she wakes up at least twice now when she used to sleep 8 hours straight - its definitely starting to wear me out and i'm hoping she changes her little mind real soon and decided sleeping is indeed something she likes to do.
at her 4 month check up this little girl was almost 13 pounds! i swear last month she was the tiniest thing and all of a sudden she has gotten some chunk! this little girl is just growing and is now 30th percentile for weight and only 13th for height.. poor girl will probably just be a short little thing like her parents.
she just started giggling and i can't even explain how obsessed i am with it! it makes me laugh and almost start crying because how much i LOVE that little laugh.
avarie HATES tummy time. i swear this girl will never learn to crawl because almost immediately after she gets put on her tummy, she throws a little tantrum.
BUT this girl rolled over about a week ago for the first time and has done it two times since! she rolled from her tummy to her back and it took a minute for her to figure out how to roll that chunky little bum over but she did it!
avarie LOVES to look at things that are different, i've taken her to the zoo, and the aquarium and she just smiled and laughed at all the new things that she was seeing.
avarie is just becoming obsessed with her bath time - she just kicks and giggles and splashes in the water and it is just the cutest thing. she stil isn't too sure about how she feels when she's getting lotioned but its not as bad as it used to be.
avarie also is starting the "everything in my mouth" phase. if its not her hand in her mouth, it has to be a toy or a binky or ANY thing else to keep her little mouth occupied.
avarie can sit up just fine in her bumbo but she doesn't like it much. she pretty much just hates everything that she has to be set down in and she arches her back until someone picks her up.
she is also starting to grab at things and then try to bring them to her mouth, it is adorable watching her grab onto a toy and then open her mouth and it takes quite a few tries before it makes it to her mouth.
avarie got blessed on august 5th by my dad and it was a beautiful blessing. she wore the same dress that i got blessed in 22 years ago.
avarie took her first road trip a couple weeks ago - we drove 5 hours to boise! it was my cousin's wedding and avarie actually was a lot better then i thought she would be in the car. she slept about 3 hours both ways and she did get fussy for a bit but once she was fed she pretty much did fine.
this little girl is definitely spoiled - she is always wanting to be held and if you put her down that can mean it is the end of the world!
she loves being sung to and she will actually sing along with me :)
little avarie has stolen my heart and any one who see's her feels the same way - she is adorable and i am so blessed to have such a perfect little girl.
