Here are a few -
She didn't go to the doctor this month, so I don't have her official "stats" but her weight is about 16 pounds.
She has been moving right along with her solids. I tried to put off giving her fruit for a while because I heard they may stop eating their vegetables, but I finally gave her pears and she is obsessed with them! If you don't feed her fast enough, she fusses.
Still no signs of any teeth. My mom said I didn't get teeth until I was a year old, so maybe she's slow like me! She also still has very little hair (like her dad). I have friends who can put clips in their baby's hair. Ha...she's not even close to that!
She had a good first Easter. This is her picture with the bunny Grandmommy gave her.
She is hitting all of her milestones backwards. She rolled from her stomach to back in December, but hasn't since then...to this day. Then about a month ago she started sitting up - which she's been dying to do for a while. Then the other night in her crib she rolled from her back to her stomach for the first time. She HATES being on her tummy so she laid in there and fussed until I went in and rolled her over! I guess she's forgotten she can roll herself over! AND it's supposed to be easier for her to roll that way!
I really think she may not crawl and go straight to walking. I haven't been the best about giving her tummy time because she's always hated it with a passion. She's been so hard to keep happy that I don't want to do something to her that I know will make her mad! Plus, she just hates laying down. She always wants to sit up, and she loves us to hold her so she can stand.
I finally got a jogging stroller, and I think the favorite parts of her day are our jogs (ok ok it's really walks) and bath time. She loves splashing around and laughing in there!
I know Avery is much more interesting, but here is an update on me - I decided to start subbing at the school I taught at last year - which is literally one mile from my house. Even though teaching came with tons of headaches, I loved being around the kids and also the other teachers. I figured subbing was perfect - I only have to work when I want to and I get all the perks of teaching but none of the paperwork, grading, etc. Rustin's mom said she would watch Avery for me. I don't plan on doing it much, but at least I'll have a little extra spending money! I've had a lot of fun the few days I've done it and have especially enjoyed seeing my students from last year and my old team.
Also, I'm turning my hair back blonde when I go to Wichita Falls next week.
