Avery Claire is 4 Months Old.

Time is flying away and Avery is 4 months old.
She is trying so hard to get mobile, but she wants NOTHING to do with tummy time.
She still isn't rolling over.
She is however, pulling herself up on me when I sit her down in my lap facing me.
She loves it when we hold her up and let her stand up on our laps.
She loves tickles and funny noises.
She loves music. VERY MUCH... it's like magic with her.
I think she is teething.
She has skipped 3-6 month clothing altogether and is currently wearing 6-9 month clothes. She's our little chunker.

I tried to do a session with her, but I was dumb and waited till it was her nap time ha. She was fussy so I had Dave come in and help. I like them though.

Avery 3 Month Photo Bomb!

I can't believe she is 3 months... well, she will be on the 9th. She's such a princess. Here is her 3 month photobomb.

Avery Claire 2 Month Photobomb

Photo Bomb time.  First, I thought I would update you and let you know that I am doing much better emotionally.  A friend of mine gave me a ton of supplements.  One of the main ones was something called SamE... or Cell Food.  It has helped me tremendously.  No more crying spells and I feel so much closer to Avery.  Thank goodness.  I still have some turmoil in my life, but I'm handling everything a lot better.

Anyway.  Moving on.  Avery is 8 weeks today, but turns 2 months on February 9.  I have a butt load of tests the week of the 9th so I thought I would get her pictures out of the way now.  She was pretty good throughout then she had her melt down.  So here you go.  Avery Claire... 2 months (8 weeks) PHOTO BOMB!!!

Adjusting, Baby Blues, and Roller Skates

It's been a rough last few days. Avery has been fussing a lot. If she's not sleeping she's fussing. Even when she is fed, changed, and being held. It's been daunting. It doesn't help that I have a bout of the baby blues.  I'm watching it to make sure it doesn't get worse.  I had the baby blues with Lindsey, but it went away at 4 weeks postpartum.  I am heading into week 5 postpartum and I am still crying at the drop of a hat, stressing, getting anxiety, experiencing insomnia, hyperventilating, feeling hopeless.  It's all overwhelming.

She is cute though, isn't she? ha.  She really didn't want me to take her picture.  She would have liked to have been sleeping as you can tell from the top right photo.  She is one month old... 4 weeks and 3 days. 

I have been doing a lot of hanging out with my good friend Becca from Life in Technicolor.  We went roller skating.  I hadn't been since I got pregnant, so that puts my last roller skating stint sometime in late February or early March.  It was nice to be back... we will be going as often as possible.  It's important to still do things for yourself when you have a lot going on in life.

 REALLY bad picture alert! ha... but still had to post it.  We'll work on getting better pics of us up.

I will be starting my weight loss journey Friday January 20... Mainly because I will be able to start working out again because I will be 6 weeks postpartum.  Sneak peek, this is what I am starting with... (excuse the chipping toe nail polish)

I should be able to start my "Tubal Experience" posts next month sometime.  That won't be a regular feature... probably every 2 or 3 months.

I may add in some school features too.  I am so nervous and scared to start school.  If anyone has anything encouraging to say about Anatomy and Physiology, please speak up now.  I'm really freaking out about it.

Wishing you all a happy week.
