Avery is 5 Months Old

Avery is 5 months old today. She has been rolling around like crazy the past month. She is able to get up on her knees(with her head and arms on the floor), push off the floor, and drag her head and arms across the floor. I see a lot of rug burn in her future, until she learns she needs to get those arms up!


She hasn't been that fond of playing outside until recently. She didn't like the wind in her face. However, with all the softball games and time outside with her sisters, she is starting to come around.


She can now hold an 8 ounce bottle by herself.


She is sleeping from 9pm-4am, eating a bottle, and then waking at 7:30am for the morning. She takes three small naps (about 45 minutes-1 hour) at 10:00am, 2:00pm, and 6:00pm. She has also started rolling over at night and sleeps mostly on her tummy.


She is eating better than ever. She has fruit mixed with rice cereal for breakfast, and a vegetable with cereal for lunch and dinner. She has her bottles before her nap and bed times.
She loves sitting up by herself and playing with toys. She also likes sitting in her booster seat. One of her favorite things is peek-a-boo. She loves being scared; she cracks up!


She still does not like to be in her car seat much. I am hoping this changes soon, and I am sure the rest of my family hopes that also!


I will make sure and post some pictures of her later today.
