Avery Elizabeth is Three Weeks Old

I cannot believe Avery is three weeks old.  Part of me feels like it has flown by and part of me fees like she's been with us forever.  She is a joy.  The faces she makes are priceless.  Her sleeping smiles make us laugh.  And sometimes when she's nursing she grabs onto my hand and holds it for the longest time.  I am so in love.

This week she weighs 9 pounds 4 ounces, which means she has gained over a pound in a week.  She is quite the little eater.  She loves to lay on her activity mat and watch her Rainforest music/sound machine.  Avery is sleeping pretty well at night and has woken up only once for a middle of the night feed for the past three nights.  We are hoping this pattern continues!  Here are some other things we've been up to this week.

Avery went to church for the first time.  We dressed her up so cute and she was pretty good.  I fed her in the nursery and then she had a meltdown.  Daddy left us after church to go have some daddy time and I feel like everything fell apart.  We definitely need two people to manage right now on outings.

I'm not sure who enjoys activity time/tummy time more, Avery or daddy.  She loves him so much.  I think the feeling is mutual.  And seriously, look at that hair.

We gave her a tub bath for the first time.  Thinking she would scream, we had prepared for the worst.  But, she surprised us and did surprisingly well.  I think she enjoyed sitting in the warm water.  What a doll.

  

Another hair shot.  This girl definitely did not get my hair, luck for her.  I think it might even be wavy. It's lightened up more than when she was born and she's losing a lot of it too.  I'm wondering what she'll look like one day and what color her eyes are going to be.
