Ava had her first doctor visit yesterday for her 2-week checkup. We are taking her to Dr. Anderson, who was also Kevin’s doctor.
She weighed 8 pounds 15 ounces, so she is up almost a pound from her birth weight. Everything looked good and she seems very healthy. She is definitely growing well – we can notice her getting bigger already!
She is staying awake more now, even if only for a few hours. She’s still very calm, seemingly content to just sit and stare at the world around her. She really hates being wet and being hungry, though. She quickly turns from calm, content baby into screaming baby. But once she’s changed or fed, she’s back to her calm self.
She gets the hiccups a lot, but it doesn’t seem to bother her that much. She doesn’t seem to like the binky at all, which is different for us. Both Emily and Kevin loved their binky’s more than anything! She doesn’t like being in her car seat at all, but she does pretty well in her swing and bouncy seat. More than anything she loves to lay on our chests and sleep.
She’s gotten the chance to dress up in some of her cute little outfits already, which of course gives Dawn great pleasure. But she spends most of her days in simple comfortable sleepers. It won’t be too long before she realizes that her mother has quite a thing for fluffy pink clothes and headbands!
I love the stripes and stripes tummy time picture! You have a gift for photo opps!
She is such a cutie! Congrats to all of you.
