Avonlea : Two Months
Dear Avonlea,
You are two months old today. TWO MONTHS! Hard to believe it’s already been that long, and yet, it seems like you’ve always been a part of our family. You fit into the final slot like the last puzzle piece, absolutely perfectly.
Your smile is totally infectious and you flash it every chance you get. You’re such a happy baby when you wake up in the morning, and it continues throughout the rest of the day. You must have known mama would need a boost while chasing after all three of you, and it works – it’s hard for me to be grumpy with your gummy grin looking back at me all day.
See? Try not to smile when you look at that face. I dare you.
Your brothers are completely enamored with you. Their favorite time is when we go somewhere in the car, and when they get out, they always must first lean over the seat to see you and say “Hi, Avie Girl!” You had a short crying fit a couple days ago and I thought Sawyer might start crying himself with how concerned he was for you. They hate to hear you cry (even though it isn’t often) and always ask me if you’re going to be okay. I eat up their sweetness now because I know it won’t be long before they’re locking the bedroom doors behind them as you try to keep up.
No big milestones to report, unless you count kind of starting to lift your head during tummy time. You aren’t close to doing any baby push-ups yet, but at least you’ve stopped dragging your face along the carpet and whining to be flipped back over. Other than that, you’re pretty happy with wherever we put you.
You don’t nurse NEAR as much as your brother did, which is both good and bad. Good because I don’t feel like a human dairy case, but bad because it means I’m still hanging on to about 25 pounds of baby weight. Yeah, apparently the more you nurse, the more calories you burn. So it looks like I’ll have to do some real exercise for a change. You’re also more petite than he was – official weigh-in today was 11 lbs. 7 oz. Everyone else keeps saying you’re big, and it makes me defensive because you’re my smallest baby by far!
Bedtime with you is such a breeze that it’s almost scary. Daddy and I give you a bath after your brothers are in bed, and then you nurse for a final time around 9:30. I tuck you into bed groggy but awake, and you drift off peacefully. Wake to fill your belly around 4:30am, and then back to sleep again until 8 or 9. Have I told you how much I love you, little girl? Mama appreciates the sleep.
You have us all completely smitten and all it takes is a hint of the Pouty Lip to turn us to mush.
Yeah, keep perfecting that one and you’ll have Daddy’s credit cards in your pocket by the time you’re five. What can I say? You’re learning from the best.
Keep being completely awesome, baby girl.
Love,
Mama

[...] Miss Avonlea. What an interesting month it has been. When we left off one month ago, you were the picture perfect baby who was sleeping eight hours straight at night and never uttered [...]
I’d have to buy into with you on this. Which is not something I typically do! I love reading a post that will make people think. Also, thanks for allowing me to speak my mind!
Hi! I found your website by accident this morning, but am really pleased that I did! Not only is it entertaining, but also straightforward to use compared with lots that I’ve viewed! I was attempting to discover what theme you had employed, – anyone have any clue? I’ve utilized a similar overall page layout myself, but discover that your web site loads a lot more swiftly, although you seem to have a great deal additional material. The only issue I’ve had is with the header, which seems less wide that the actual page in Opera v8.0, although it appears OK in IE and in firefox… maybe it’s time to swap! Excellent web site, incredibly tidy job, and a excellent inspiration for my simple attempt! I’ll be looking to improve my own internet site and will certainly visit again soon!
