January 28th - Avery started going to our neighbor, Adrienne's house. I think she really likes it over there! She never cries when Neal drops her off, and when it's time to leave she always cries (but I think it's because she doesn't want to be put in her car seat!). Adrienne has two kids, so it'll be great that she'll get to interact with other kids!
Just a few days shy of her 5 month birthday, Avery's bottom two teeth cut through! This explains all the drooling, hands constantly in her mouth, and diarrhea! I'm sure it doesn't feel good, but she just looks so dang cute with those two little teeth when she smiles!!

Avery is a bit lazy (seems to be taking after her mama!), so the process of rolling is taking a while. No matter how we lay her down, she seems content. She's rolled from her back to stomach and from her stomach to back, but she doesn't seem too motivated to practice!
She started laughing this month. Not the adorable belly laugh, but more like a heavy breathing laugh (very hard to explain!). It's still cute, though! Apparently mommy and daddy are funny, but not quite funny enough to get a full-blown chuckle out of her... yet! But I'm working on my comedy routine! From seeing other babies, I understand that injury really gets them laughing, so I am prepared to hurt myself to get a good laugh out of her (i.e. banging my head on a wall, stubbing my toes, slamming my fingers in doors, etc...).
We also started her on solid foods this month! We started her with rice cereal. When we started, I didn't think she liked it, but by the time we were finished, she seemed to enjoy it!
