Say What!?

We can't believe she is 3 months old either.

Christmas Dress

Avery was dressed to the nines on Christmas in her new dress.

Merry Christmas!

Avery's first Christmas. At first she was a bit startled by the noise of the wrapping paper being torn, but seemed to get into it a little bit more. She likes her jump-a-roo, too, bouncing around in it and seeming to enjoy herself very much.



After the jump-a-roo, we tried out the discovery dome, and she liked that as well, wiggling and kicking, and enjoying the various bells and whistles.

Here Comes Santa

Hair?

Avery has discovered her hair, and last night tugged on it for a while, to the point where she was looking up at me on the verge of crying, wondering what was going on until I released her fingers from her hair. Then she started on her fingers, her hair a little rat's nest.

Standin' Tall

Avery likes to stand, usually on our knees. Sometimes she will be sitting in our lap and pop up to her feet. A few nights ago we stood her up in her crib, and draped her arms over the crib side. She stood for a few seconds and didn't seem to mind.

Pffft.

Mon Dieu!

When we went grocery shopping today, Megan put Avery in a beret;



I am not going to speculate what brought tears to Avery's eyes, because honestly, we have no idea. She got all bent out of shape, and two minutes later was fine. But not without a little pouting first.

The Calm Before the Storm

Avery and her mother were hanging out on the couch the other day, relaxin' before heading off to bed...



when all of a sudden a thunderous noise issued forth from her unders. So we picked her up to change her, and she spit up much of her dinner.



Oh well. Her bodily expulsions are at least fodder for war stories and tall tales.

Double Fistin'

Avery likes to put her hands in her mouth, to the point where she eschews the pacifier and goes straight to the fist. Some times she tries to fit both in her mouth at the same time, and then realizes how funny that is.

Happy Baby

With both Mommy and Daddy home Tuesday, Avery was a happy baby.

Winter Arrives

Megan went back to school last week, and Monday we all took a trip to Coshocton to visit. Avery got all bundled up to fight off the 16 degree chill. Then she took a nap in her car seat.
