Ear Infection =(

So after Avery was fussing and crying for two days straight I decided it was time to go see her doctor. Luckily, her pedi's office is open on Saturdays so I took her Saturday morning. The doctor was awesome (our regular one wasn't there) and she confirmed that Avery did in fact have an ear infection in both ears. I had to hold her down as she dug in her ears to take a better look and my poor little girl was crying so hard she started hyperventilating. It was so awful.

I gave her tylenol as soon as we got home and started her on her antibiotics. She is already feeling SO much better. My happy little girl is returning!! I just hope she doesn't have ear infections like I did as a child. I had them so much I had to have tubes put in, then the tubes caused a problem and I had to have surgery in the 3rd grade!

I think Avery may be starting her 4 month wakeful stage. She has started waking up around 6am to eat and sometimes she is up for the day. I am not used to this because she used to wake up at 8am to eat then go back to sleep until 11am! Oh well, she is still sleeping from 10pm-6am and that is a lot more sleep than most mothers I know are getting!

Her latest updates: She weighs 15 lbs 1 oz and is 24 1/2 inches long. She has doubled in weight since birth!! She has also started blowing raspberries! Spit goes flying and she makes the funniest face. It is adorable.

Billy and I still can't get over how lucky we are to be her parents!

This is tough.

Since yesterday Avery has not been a happy camper. I miss my easy going happy girl. She has continuously cried and cried. I rock her, walk around with her, put her in her swing and sometimes it works for a little bit but not for long. I'm guessing she is going through a growth spurt (I've heard the 3 month one is hard) but I keep taking her temperature in case it is something else. She finally just fell asleep right next to me and I hope she sleeps for awhile since she hasn't napped all day. I just hope this ends soon!

Professional Photos!

I got some professional pictures of Averyana and they turned out awesome! I highly recommend Kat and Sue Photography!!! Above are just a couple of them!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

3 months old!

Wow, time really flies. I cannot believe Avery is 3 months old today. She is halfway to being a half year old! She doesn't have her next doctor appointment until next month so I don't have her height and weight. I think she is getting close to 15 lbs though! She is developing such a personality! She is extremely happy in the mornings, she can't stop smiling. It's the greatest thing to wake up too! Don't let her fool you though- she has quite the temper. If she doesn't like the way you are holding her, she will let you know! She is still too cute, even when she is mad. She is also getting a lot more control over her hands. She grabs things now and soon she will be able to hold and play with toys! It is truly a joy to be able to watch her grow and Billy and I can't get over how blessed we are to be her parents.
