A Letter to Averi: Five Months

Averi Joy,


You did not grow much physically this month, but BOY! did you grow mentally. So many changes and leaps forward. You are making your mama so proud and sad at the same time.


I love this picture because you hardly sleep on your back anymore and your feet are crossed. It's so cute!


You rolled from your tummy to your back this month! That's so soon after rolling onto your tummy. I'm so proud of you baby girl!


We went to our first splash pad this month. And I already had to buy you a new swimsuit! Notice where your fingers are...in your mouth! This silly tooth isn't coming in yet! You are still sleeping well and handling it well during the day.


You are so intrigued by everything your brother is doing. He is making so much noise and you are captivated.


Father's Day happened this month too. You have made your daddy's life so much sweeter. He loves being a daddy of two kiddos and that wouldn't be possible without you.


You are reaching for toys now on your own. And, like this picture shows, your toes. You are accidentally grabbing them every once in awhile. At least you aren't eating them!


When you get a little fussy, you love to be bounced up and down. I asked some of my friends if they had something for you. One friend had this jumparoo that we are borrowing. You love it! You like the toys and being able to bounce on your own.


Mommy and Jayce have started another round of Tiny Tots and Tunes. Grandma came to hold you and help you be happy while I was with Jayce. You actually loved the music and watching the dancing. I can't wait to do a Tiny Tots class with you.


We went to our friends house for another play date and you got to try an exersaucer. You loved it! I think your favorite part was the toys that bend down for you to chew on. =)


We celebrated the 4th of July at church. Your "shirt" was actually a dress that had gotten too short. You grew too fast! I love having you girly. I love dressing you and seeing what we can do with all your outfits and bows!


We went to my aunt's house for a Shrimp Boil after church. She and her husband are always cooking for lots of people. I was so happy that you got to go to their house for one of these get-togethers. She loves holding you and your brother. In this picture, she's feeding you ice because it was so hot!


This is you guys at the Shrimp Boil. I love how you are reaching for your brother, resting back on your daddy because you trust him, AND watching everything around you. You are so amazing already. I can't wait to see what this next month brings.

"I love you all the way to the moon...and back."
Mommy
