In a few days Ava will be 2 months old. I cannot believe it has already been that long....it really does go fast! Everyone warned me to soak up every moment because the baby stage goes by quickly and now I believe it!
Ava has not had her 2 month check up yet, but did have a brief doctor visit last week to get her second RSV shot. She was weighed and measured, which I was really happy about. It is reassuring to see her weight go up and watch her grow. She weighed 6 pounds 12 ounces and was 20 1/2 inches long. She has had a pretty busy month for a newborn. She has had many visitors and ventured out of the house a little more than during her first month of life. Since mom always forgets the camera when we are out most of the pictures are from hanging around the house.
Trying to capture Ava's hilarious facial expressions. She makes the funniest faces and sounds and I never have the camera near by to capture them.
We weren't able to do newborn pictures since Ava was in the hospital during the time you would usually have them done. When she came home time got away with me and I never found anyone in time, so I decided to have some fun with camera. Well, there is a reason they say to do this right after they are born. She was hysterical the whole time. I was able to capture a few pictures of her not screaming. Grandpa Pete is coming over next weekend and is going to help us get some good pictures of Ava, Steve, and I.
Ava was going to attend her first birthday party on Saturday night at our friends house. We were all ready to head out the door and Ava had a meltdown. Since she doesn't usually cry we were very surprised by her hysterical behavior. We discovered she had a mild fever, so Ava, Bruce, and I stayed home from the party while dad stopped by to say hi. He then joined us back at home and we had a wonderful night snuggling as a family. Not the kind of Saturday night we are used to, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. Luckily, the fever was gone by morning and all was back to normal. :)
