Yesterday our baby girl turned two months old and had a day of shots. She got 5 shots in her legs and an oral dose of a shot, and then her mean mother took her in yesterday afternoon for 2 month photos. She slept the whole day and it was a chore to keep her awake for the photos. She was a trooper for her shots though, although she cried when she received the shots she immediately stopped when they were done, I didn't even have to pick her up to calm her down. I also have to say I've never seen a baby bleed that bad from shots before.
Ava is really beginning to coo quite a bit and will just stare at me while I am talking to her and even lifts one side of her mouth to smile at you, but just isn't quite there yet. She has learned to put her hand on the back of her binky to keep it in her mouth. Today she spit out her binky and she picked up the nipple part and was trying to stick the back side in her mouth it was very cute. She has recently started crying with real tears, which we saw a lot of yesterday, as she had a tummy ache and hurt from the shots, plus she had her first fever, made her Mommy and Daddy so sad. So because of the fever she also took tylenol yesterday for the first time.
She sure is growing though, here are her stats:
Weight: 10lbs 8oz (5oth percentile)
Height: 22 1/2 inches (50th percentile)
You would never guess this boobaloo was in the 5th percentile just 6 weeks ago.
Here is Ava's owie legs
Here are a few of Ava's favorite things:
As described below she loves her sister.
She loves to take naps with Daddy, Daddy is the only person she will actually take a real nap for. (she is actually laying on her back in this photo)

She loves Raggedy Ann, not sure if its the face or the bright clothes, but she will sit and stare at Raggedy and coo easily for 20 to 30 minutes after her diaper is changed. And she loves to suck on monkey's hands.
We are so thankful for our beautiful Ava.
P.S. I am officially caught up, Yeah!

Hi North family! Ava is getting so big. What a cutie! I have a Canon Rebel. I love it! Annie
I HATED SHOT DAY! I made Jeff come and hold the girls down. (It was required or I won't go.) I think I cry as much as the babies. Glad it is over and she is healthy and doing good.
So cute with her daddy!

Poor Ava, what a trooper. She is so stinkin' beautiful, I wish I could fly down today and pinch those chubby cheeks.
