This past Monday, Avery turned 4 months old! I can hardly believe it! She is growing so fast.
Here are her 4 month stats:
Weight — 11 lb. 4 oz.
Height — 23.5 in.
If I could use one word to describe Avery, I would use the word STRONG. Not only is she strong-willed. (I think she got this from me.) But Avery has really good muscle tone. Her sitter, Sarah, always says that she is going to be a gymnast. I guess we will see. Here are some examples:
Whether she is sitting in the swing or laying on her play mat she is constantly trying to pull herself to a sitting position.
When she is sleeping she often turns 180 degrees. Somehow she scoots her little self around; we call her our little Houdini. One time she even tried to escape from her gown.
She NEVER rests her legs. They are always up in the air or in motion. Matt and I wonder if she is going to be a swimmer. She makes some BIG splashes in her bath tub every night.
She has been doing push-ups lately when laying on her tummy.
She can stand on her two feet (straight as a board) when held upright.
When the girl gets mad, she uses those muscles to straighten herself out so that you can not do anything but hold her.
In the last four months she has brought such joy to our lives with her smiles, laughs and sweet personality. I now can't imagine life without her.
It was so good to see her on FaceTime today. She is getting so big. Matt held her in a standing position, and she practically stands there by herself. She really is strong! I can't wait to see her in person. She is such a cutie!
