I can't believe it has been a month. I know that this baby's infancy will fly by. I still can't believe that Cameron is three! Funny how with Natalie it seemed to drag. I was always waiting for her to get to the next stage. I just want Avery to stay little because I know it will go so fast.
She is a great addition to our family.
She is well loved by everyone.
She is rather sleepy and is not the best eater but I think we are making some strides. The one thing this girl does demand is to be held. She can be completely out and then I set her down. Within 30 seconds she is crying like she has been left for days. This can make it a bit challenging to get things done. Natalie does a great job holding her so usually I am able to get some sort of dinner together.

Four is busy but I am in love with her and so happy she is ours.

To celebrate the one month mark I decided to go for a run. It has been unseasonably cool and wet here which has been annoying because the kids are getting bored, but it made for lovely running conditions.
Well, for the most part.
Well, for the most part.
It was the perfect temp for a long sleeve t-shirt, and the right amount of rain so it felt like you were holding one of those fans that spritzes water. The one hazard was the millions of slugs all over the sidewalk.
Gross.
It wasn't a long run or a fast run, but it felt good. Mentally and physically. Every once in a while I would have a guilty thought about how this is Avery's fussy time and I left Eric to deal with it.
He didn't complain and I appreciated the break.

Congrats on your new little addition! We've been so caught up lately in our own drama that we've fallen out of the loop. Didn't know that you were expecting number 4 too!
Time does go way too fast. The one consolation I find is that there is joy in each stage. I don't miss Trevy being an infant anymore. I love the funny random quotes she has and watching how much she has enjoyed learning to paint, etc. But I also think it's easier to watch one baby grow up when you have another.
Oh she is cute! I'm impressed you went for a run! I've attempted the running thing lately and I HATE IT! I'll do ANYTHING besides running. I'd rather be in a boot camp with Sergents yelling at me and making me do 900 push ups....as long as I don't have to run! :)
Geez....that was kind of a tangent...sorry!
Do you have a sling? Macks and Mar both loved to be held too....and I couldn't have survived without my sling! If you don't have one you need to get one!
Love you! Miss you! I need to call you...when is a good time?
Aww she is so cute. And I love how she is where that one outfit that took everyone forever to figure out what it said. :) And if you ever need to go for a run (or have Avery's favorite aunt hold her so you can go) call me.
It is fun and funny to read your posts as I am starting to go through a lot of things you are going through! I m jealous you a sleepy baby who doesn't nurse much! I am nursing almost every hour and I swear she never sleeps!!!
Congrats Newby's what a sweet little girl!
