Where did the last 2 months go?
It was so funny because I was on the phone with my sister Ashley just yesterday. She was talking about how her baby, Will, who is just 1 week younger then Avery, is cooing and smiling a lot. I was like, Avery is not doing that at all! Then, last evening, Avery and I were spending some quality time together during the Presidential Debate after Addy went to bed. We were chatting (or I was chatting) about what we would be doing today and she was giving me these huge smiles and bubbles and cooing like crazy! It was adorable and, as Doug would say, "makes her seem more human". :) 
Avery is such a well-mannered baby and just goes with the flow.
She will sit in her baby papasan and just watch Addy and I play.
She's beautiful, just like her sister. 
She can sleep through any noise.
She is sleeping through the night! Yes folks, she will go 10-12 hours without eating at night and will sleep about 8 hours straight. A mothers dream!
She loves baths.
She loves to be outside.
She loves to be held.
She is so aware now and turns her head in the direction of conversation.
Addy and I took Avery to her 2 month check-up yesterday. She got 3 shots which she was quite distraught about. Addy would lean over to her and say "it's OK baby sister". She is so sweet with her. Avery weighed in at 12 lbs 1 ounce which puts her in the 84th percentile. She measured a height of 23.75 inches which puts her in the 93rd percentile. I wish I could find Addy's info from her 2 month check-up to compare. But, all signs are pointing toward Avery being tall just like her sister! 
I just looked at all the photos above and realized that they have all been taken in the same chair. You'd think we leave Avery in the baby papasan 24/7!
Also, I tried for 1/2 hour earlier today to get some good pictures of Avery smiling to no avail. Of course, she's smiling up a storm just as I write this post. Go figure!

Soo Cute, I was excited to see the cute shot with her smiling. It does seem to make them more human when they begin responding to you and paying attention to the world around them. I can't decide who she looks like. Does she look like Addy still? Sounds like she is growing well. Will has his 2mo. check next Fri, so it will be fun to compare. I am happy you have a baby who is sleeping through the night. WE are only up to 4-4 1/2 hrs at a stretch. BUT, we have been taking much better naps during the day. The last few days Will has been doing amazing about his napping and we kind of have a good schedule going. So, now I just need to get the nights down. Anyways, it is fun to see how the girls are doing!!
