Schedule
Avery's "schedule" varies daily but it generally starts with her wake up between 8 and 9.  She starts her day with a nursing schedule followed by a 2-3 hour morning nap and another nursing session.  A little play time and a short nursing session leads to a nap around an hour.  Followed by a little play, nursing and a 2-3 hour afternoon nap.  5-8 is her fussy time which is handled by lots of bouncing and cluster feeding.  Bedtime routine starts around 8 and includes swaddling, rocking and nursing.  She wakes up for several night-time feeds around 12/1 and 3/4.  She goes back down quickly unless her diaper or nose are bothering her.
Tidbits
- Little girl isn't a fan of sleeping on her back.  She may be put down that way but she will work her way onto her side or tummy.
- Carter tried to rename Avery shortly after her birth.  He was disheartened that he didn't pick her name so he called her Alexandra for a few weeks.
- Parker likes to call Avery by her full name but he has a problem with the z in Elizabeth.  So she is Avery Lillibith which has turned into the nickname 'Little Bit'.
- Avery is an occasional paci gal.  She loves to comfort nurse so we're trying too get her another option to give mom a break.
- Her clogged tear duct cleared up around 4 weeks
Sizes
Still wearing newborn clothes and diapers but getting close to bumping up to size 1 diapers.
Happy 1 Month baby girl!
