One Month

Avery,
Today marks your 1 month birthday and while it seems like just yesterday I laid eyes on you for the first time it also feels as though you have always been a part of our family. Since you need your sec on hepatitis shot and you got the first one on December 19th I won't know your measurements until your doctors appointment on Wednesday. But what I do know That you are so special and I love you so much! You are truly a fantastic baby you sleep really well, you go to bed around 10 or 10:30 pm and then wake to feed about 3 or 3:30 am and then go right make to sleep and wake up about 6:30 or 7 am to feed again, normally after you eat then we get up and get sister ready for school and Daddy out the door. Then you have a half of a feeding about 8:30 or 9 am and then you normally nap until lunchtime, this is normally when I get all my stuff done for the day because typically you are awake all afternoon until about 5 pm or so then you nap for a while and we do a before bed feed around 9:30 or 10 pm. So you are doing so good with your schedule and Mommy appreciates that! You have been do small amounts of tummy time and are really working on lifting your head, you are really getting good at it, you will be supporting your head all by yourself before we know it. You have gotten to where you can grip really well, you hold my finger and sometimes even pull my hair! All in all you are just the most amazing baby ever, your sister is totally in love with you as well, she loves to give you kisses and talk to you, sometimes I think you hate that she gets right up in your face but you seem to tolerate it okay. Your Daddy is totally in love with you as well, he takes over with you shortly before bedtime because that seems to be your fussy time and hehasthe magic touch at calming you down. Know that at one month old you are loved so much by your entire family but your Mommy loves you more than words can express.

Love,
Mommy
