Avery's One Month Stats & Feeling Like Fall!

Our little nugget Miss Avery Claire has been doing great ever since her surgery!  She had her one month check up this week (and boy has this been the longest month of my life!) and the doctor said she looks perfect (I could have told him that!) and that she's beautiful ( I could have told him that too!)  Not only is she eating, sleeping and pooping like a champ, but she's also blending in with her crazy big sisters like a champ too! The noise of their playing, arguing and squealing doesn't even phase her and she's even gotten in on some Princess Dress up fun! 

Avery's One Month Stats
Weight: 8lbs 11oz (30%) -She's bigger than both of her sisters were at one month, even with a week of projectile vomiting!
Length: 21 inches (30%)
Head: 14.5 inches (30%)

We had our first *normal week as a family of five this week, and it went pretty smoothly.  We're either starting to figure out to manage three girls under the age of 4 1/2 or we're just getting used to the crazy chaos!  Either way, I think we're all finally starting to get into a groove.   
Daddy earns another gold star this week for helping out around the house.  He even took the big girls to preschool a few times and the girls loved showing him their classrooms.  Aside from it being almost 90 degrees for the first part of the week, it's been a pretty perfect Fall week! 

*normal meaning we didn't have any houseguests or trips to the hospital!

Ever wonder how I get a 2 year old and a 4 year old to pose for so many pictures?  Candy people.  Lots and lots of candy!  Thank goodness I'm a dental hygienist or my kids wouldn't have any teeth left!

I love this time of year!!
