Avery is Five Months Old!

Before I even get started, I want to let you know this is about a month too late. Avery is six months old next week, but I’ve been doing so well up until now that I didn’t want to stop it. I’ve compiled some of the fun and exciting things that Avery has done over her fifth month. I love to do this each month (here’s month one, month two, month three, and month four) so I can document how she is growing.

Month five was so much fun. Avery’s personality is really starting to shine. She loves people and is genuinely happy 90% of the time. If you want to see some super duper cute pictures of Avery from her fifth month, I showcased a few of my favorites over at Babble.

Month Five Fun Facts:

• She weighs 11 lbs 10 oz (gained only two ounces)
• She is 24.5 inches in height (gained over an inch in height)
• We are now sleeping through the night! She averages 11-12 hours. It is glorious! We did sleep train and it only took one night for her to get on track.
• She learned how to roll over from her back to stomach and now loves tummy time!
• She is sleeping on her stomach during the night, which absolutely terrifies me, but it is the only way she will sleep now.
• We’ve finally gotten ourselves on a wonderful routine and schedule and her naps during the day are fairly predictable, which makes my life a whole lot easier.
• She moved into her own room this month which has been going great! She loves sleeping in her crib.
• We visited the beach for the first time this month and while she loves watching the waves, she hated going in the water.
• She also isn’t a huge fan of baths either.

Month six has been so much fun too! Stay tuned for an update on Avery’s sixth month next week!
