Here is what Avery is up to at 5 months old:-Rolls everywhere. As soon as you lay her down she is all over the place.
-Very interested in Arthur. She stares at him whenever he's around. The feeling is mutual, and he takes any opportunity he can to get a lick in.
-Smiles all the time. She was charming everyone at the doctor's office yesterday.
-Laughs sometimes.
-We have started rice cereal and oatmeal. Not a fan of the rice cereal. In fact she refuses to eat it. The oatmeal goes over fairly well. In the next few weeks we will probably introduce a vegetable and fruit. We had to mix her milk with formula last weekend because I went out of town. She took to it fine. I am hoping to make it one more month of pumping and breastfeeding. I really want to make it to 6 months and at this point I think I may be done at that time.
-We finally broke the swaddle successfully. She goes to bed around 8:30. Sometimes she will wake up in the middle of the night, sometimes not. Sometimes she wakes up and talks to herself for a bit, sometimes she cries. Naps are still pretty short usually, but sometimes she will take an hour+ nap at daycare or home. Otherwise it's 30 minutes.
-She has been to the doctor twice in the last two weeks. Last week the daycare told us she was pulling on her ear. When I called they suggested we bring her in. No ear infection, ball of ear wax removed=$20. Now she is congested and coughing. They didn't think we needed to bring her in unless she had a fever, which she didn't. The daycare told us one of the babies had a viral respiratory infection, so I decided to take her to the doctor anyway. Mental note: viral respiratory infection=cold. Cold diagnosis=$20. :)
-Getting heavy! 15 pounds as of yesterday!
-Likes to put everything she can in her mouth including, but not limited to, the remote.
-She is a wonderful, happy, funny, healthy baby and we love her so much!
Rob said this photo shoot was a little more difficult than the previous ones. More interested in the paper I suppose.

Aaaaa. She is so cute.
This age sucks for doctor's visits though. I never really felt like they fix babies this age. Can't give them any medicine unless they are really sick. How does she like the snot sucker? That's always fun!
I like the outtakes. I had a good laugh at the 'mama' laugh vid as well.
Hahaha those pics are too silly...and what's the deal, I think all babies love paper! I can't wait to see her this weekend!!!
Oh Summer, she just loves the sucker. Trying to hold her down for that is what I would imagine bathing a cat is like.
