One Month!!

August 2, 2010 marks one month since sweet little Avery arrived and joined our family.  Alex and I agree that it has been the most wonderfully exciting and tiring month of our lives!  Avery has changed so much in the past 4 weeks and continues to capture our hearts.  Below are some things our little girl can do now and some pictures to illustrate her development.  Enjoy!

• Avery has graduated from size N to 1 diapers, which is very exciting because we have LOTS of size 1 diapers in the garage that family and friends gave us!
• She tracks toys and people with her eyes and seems to enjoy laying on her activity mat and "learning" about ocean wonders!
• She is wonderful when friends and family hold her, which they love to do so much sometimes mommy gets a little jealous!
• She spends more time awake, alert and happy between feedings and naps
• She is growing right on track according to her pediatrician and now weighs over 9 lbs and is 21 inches long
• She is sleeping very well during the night and only wakes once to nurse
• Avery has received her Social Security number and has a 529 savings account established in her name already! Such a responsible baby we have, haha!

So cute!
