20 Weeks!

MONTH: 5

WEEK: 20

WEIGHT: Likely close to 15lbs by now.

LENGTH: 27+ inches

HEAD: Spotted. We don't measure he head regularly but it is still covered in scabbed pocks. Hopefully they will clear up soon.

MILESTONES: She is rolling from back to belly now! Well, sometimes. Really only when there is something she can see better if she rolls. It took a few days after she first did it for Justin and Courtney for me to see it. We are on our way to full mobility!

OBLIGATORY ADORABLE PICTURE: She has started this new thing where she tightens all the muscles in her legs and squeezes her little thighs together. She is especially fond of doing this while you are trying to change her diaper.

EATING: She is losing interest in the bottle. In fact, she likes to play a game where she just moves the nipple around in her mouth until you play with her. I think she will be a food-thrower when we start table food. Good thing we have hardwoods. Carpet would be a pain to keep clean!

SLEEPING: A had a couple of nights where she woke up to eat this last weekend, but then went back to STTN (sleeping through the night) Sunday night. Perfect timing since we both had to work Monday. So much for sleeping in. 

VISITS/OUTINGS: Avery hung out with Grandma Denise and Grandpa Jim on Saturday while Justin and went Christmas shopping. It was fun to hang out just us two knowing she was having fun with grandma and grandpa. When we got home she was out like a light. They tired her out!

FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: She is still happy just to play with her feet. She even tries to sit up out of her swing to reach them. Good thing she is buckled in or she would be on the floor!

MOMMY FEELS: Great. I am so happy with where we are right now. I am loving our little family and just enjoying the days as they come. Every day is an adventure and one I wouldn't change for the world.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FORWARD TO: Exciting new opportunities to come in the new year. With Justin's job, and some exciting prospects we have a few changes in the works. Be on the lookout!
