Dear Avery,
You are now 15 weeks old. It’s hard to believe! We really can hardly remember what life was like before you arrived!
Last week you continued to enjoy having books read to you. You love the soft books with the crinkly pages, but are also starting to enjoy many of the story books now too. When you play, you want to put everything in your mouth. You aren’t coordinated enough to get everything you want in your mouth, but you are successful some of the time. If you can’t get a toy in there, you put your hand in your mouth. Your WHOLE hand in your mouth. We are working on getting you to chew on teething toys or your paci instead. Your grip has dramatically improved in the last few weeks. You can hold onto our fingers so tightly! Sometimes you grab mommy’s hair. Now you’ll understand when you see pictures and I have my hair in a ponytail all the time! 
Daddy turned the movie Cars on to watch with you the other day. He said that you got upset when the action died down in the movie. He thought it was funny that you wanted it to be “go go go” all the time!
We went to see Grandma Cumings one day for a little while to visit. Uncle Todd Chatman’s mommy passed away and went to heaven last week. Grandpa and Grandma Dertien came to watch you so mommy and daddy could go be with Uncle Todd and Aunt Kristen and their family.
We love you very much!
<3, Mommy & Daddy
Look at that grip!
