I can't believe Avery is 3 months old! He is becoming her own little person with some personality! She has been very smiley! She likes to be talked to with big smiles and then she will smile back. Within the last week she has found her voice and has started to giggle and making noises! It is so cute! Avery is really ticklish! Especially under her chin and arm pits! She cracks up and
squirms!
Avery is a very good baby. She eats well, every 3 to 3.5 hours, and has taken to the bottle well. She did not like it at first, but with a week or two of practice and preemie size nipple, she was good to go. She is still strictly breast milk unless she needs a little more then she will get an ounce or two of formula. Avery is really good with her routine, she is like clock work. She will eat, then play for an 1.5 hours or so then take a nap for an 1.5-2 hours and then get up eat and do it all over again! She is so happy during the day. She gets a
little fussy in the evening, but I don't stick to her routine as much then so it may be my fault anyway!
Avery is a thumb sucker! Who knew she would find her thumb already! She likes to do it when she gets tired or needs to calm down. It is really funny! With that, she also is good with the
binky (
Kaden never really used a
binky), which I am glad for...it helps settle her down unless she is really worked up!
Avery loves sitting in her high chair and look around. She also really likes her swing. She isn't big on tummy time yet. But for the most part she is easy going (except in the evening!). She loves her bath time, she likes the warm water on her tummy and chest area, she opens her mouth and tries to drink the water, too funny!
Avery is a really good sleeper. Not only does she take great naps, but she sleeps really good at night. Her last feeding is usually around 8:45 - 9:15pm and then she will sleep all night until about 5 or 6am! If she gets up earlier or even at 5am, I give her a
binky and she will fuss a little and then go back to sleep until 6am or so. Good Girl!
Little Avery is the best little baby and we love her to pieces! She
definitely makes our family feel more complete!
Kaden and Avery get along so well.
Kaden loves to be apart of whatever is going on with his sister and is a great helper! Avery's little smiles make my day! I have been back to work for one week. Of course, it is hard to leave the little guys, but I know they are in great hands and I couldn't ask for a better arrangement! It makes my time with them that much more special and makes family time especially wonderful! I love these guys more than I ever
imagined!
On April 21st, we got up and went downstairs as usual to have breakfast. As I was getting Avery's breakfast ready, Kaden started saying, "poo poo" and tugging at his diaper. I wasn't sure if he really needed to go or what he was doing. He just looked at him again tugging at his diaper and said "poo poo." I asked him if he needed to go poo poo, do you want to go in the potty? He shook his head intently so I said, "hurry, hurry...let's go!" We ran into the bathroom and took off his diaper. He sat there and looked at me. Meanwhile, Avery was not so patient waiting for her breakfast. So, I told Kaden that I would be right back I was going to check on sis. I really just wanted to see what he did if I gave him some privacy. Sure enough, he pooed in the potty!!! We were very excited and celebrated and of course took a picture! He got a special treat of 3 Hershey Kisses! He LOVES chocolate! I was so proud of him especially because we never had really pushed the issue. He has sat on the potty a couple times just to try it out, but that was it! What a big boy! He has gone a couple more times since, but still not pursuing it full time!
She is still a super eater and sleeper! I can count on her for sure. She is also pretty flexible thou too! She likes to lay on her back and push around her toys. She can roll on her side, but hasn't rolled over all the way yet, but she is so close! She has a good grip, she is always holding on to something, whether it is my hair or her clothes! She is a noisy little one too! She makes all kinds of little noises! 
Avery is 
Avery is a sweet little thing with lots of love! Boy, do we love her!
Kaden has started to get a little crazy. He has been being rough with Avery on purpose, not sure what that is about, although I guess he is almost 2! He is such a little ham...cheesy! Love this little man!!
Love this pic! These two little ones make my world turn!
She is such a good baby. She is content most of the time. She is a great eater, great napper, great sleeper at night, and overall an easy baby! She likes to be sat up, she isn't much of a cuddler! She wants to check things out. Even when you hold her she wants to face out. Things are starting to catch her attention and she is trying to interact with things. She likes to lay on her back and kick her legs! 
She loves bath time and has just learned to splash with her legs. Avery is a major thumb sucker. It is how she calms down and relaxes to sleep. She alternates between hands, it is so funny! 
Boy do we love this little girl! She is so sweet and cute as can be! She has made having a second baby easy! 
He always keeps track of her. He is such a loving little guy! Avery is so good, she is a tough little thing!
Kaden was very serious the whole time. He didn't really crack a smile, but they knew he was having a good time because he just kept saying "more, more." That is what he says when he really likes somthing. Kaden has to observe when it is a different environment and then decide how he wants to act. He is funny!
Avery slept most of the time, but when she was ready to join the fun, she was happy as could be! She probably appreciated the fresh air!
Of course Kaden loved the tractors! Any big cars, trucks, trains, Kaden is all about it!
Happy Girl!
These are just some random pictures! Avery is a very smiley little girl! She loves when you smile and talk to her!
Look at these bucket heads! Kaden love to put buckets onhis head. He loves to make anything and everything a hat!
We got Avery this new little chair to lounge in and she loves it!
Luckily for Kaden it also is a toddler chair, I think he loves it more than Avery! He likes it because it rocks!
Kaden got a hair cut and styled with a little fo-hawk! Kaden liked it, but he did think it was weird to have gel in his hair, he kept touching it saying, uh-oh. He says that when something is not right or how it usually is. He then would rub his spike against my leg, funny little guy!
