Jonathan & Lindsey's Family Blog

Today we took Avery on his first airplane ride. We’re off to Texas for a visit with Grammy and Pappa in their new house. Avery did well on the plane, despite a little turbulence coming into Dallas.

Over Dallas.

It’s hard to believe Avery was born three months ago today. He is growing up so quickly. Everyday he changes a little bit.
In the last week or so Avery started sleeping 8+ hours at night. The extra sleep for us parents has been very nice!
He’s also much more sturdy than he used to be, and is starting to enjoy spending time in his exersaucer. The first couple times we put him in he wasn’t too interested, but by the third time he was reaching out for the toys. He seems especially interested in the mirror, spinning wheel full of colored balls, and the teething flower.

His three favorites. Commodus is interested too.

Twelve weeks have slipped by since Avery made his first appearance. It feels like we’ve almost made it through the first part of boot camp. These days Avery is smiling more, being very interactive, and is generally a happy baby. Sometimes when he’s tired in the evenings he gets a little fussy, but it doesn’t last all evening as it once did. He has gotten better with his hands too. He fits part of his hand into his mouth, and tonight while I was giving him a bottle he held onto the sides with both hands.
Here are some assorted pictures from the last week or so.

I think he looks like Lindsey in this pic.

He’s very long.
